thesometimesaint Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 The problem science has is that it assumes that any life on other planets must live under the same conditions as it does here on earth. So they look for planets similar to ours for life but who is to say that there is not life on planets that are very different than our planet. Also resurrected beings could inhabit planets that mortal humans could not inhabit. Perhaps many planets have resurrected beings on them but we would just see them as lifeless planets because they have no water. Everywhere we look the same elements and chemicals exist throughout the universe. They is a wide variety of life forms on this planet, but they all point to a common ancestor. I don't believe we know enough about Resurrected individuals to say much about them. 1
Guest Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Fascinating info JLHPROF, but didn't Joseph Smith once say that he believed people lived on the moon?Well they were dressed in their Quaker space suits.
LOSTONE Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Ask God. If you want to know something about God, why not go to the source and ask God Directly.Also, maybe God has other plans for these planets. Maybe God had life on them at one point and will again. Like a life cycle or maybe God already has life on them we have yet to discover or can detect. So many possibilities that it could be endless.Why does it matter? 1
MormonFreeThinker Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) What's the point of God creating planets like Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus, Venus, Pluto, Saturn, etc. if not to populate them with humans or other life beings? Maybe someday life (as we don't know it) will live in them. There is probably no life on Venus, Venus is the hottest planet in the Solar System. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wvqcHNonJ8 Edited December 3, 2014 by MormonFreeThinker
Pinecone Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Moses 2:14,Lights in the firmament...for signs and seasons, for days and for years.Congratulations. You have the correct answer.
Freedom Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Until we can create our own solar system we have no way of knowing what results when a planet capable of sustaining live is formed. When I make an egg sandwich, there is inevitably collateral material that is disposed of, be it the egg shell, bits of egg stuck to the pan, or some mayonnaise left on the knife. There could be a need in a functioning solar system for multiple planets. There could be a balance of which we are not yet aware. In any given piece of land, there are portions that are unused. My yard is covered in grass, garden, trees and a few sheds. I do not use my entire yard, and nor is it possible to do so all at the same time. 1
The Nehor Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Well, Jupiter helps to prevent meteor hits on the earth.Mostly though I think they are there to be pretty and awe-inspiring and to give us things to look at and study to better understand the universe.Of course there could easily be purposes we know nothing of. There are things on this earth that seem to have nothing to do with us. I am not quite a big enough egomaniac to believe it all has to do solely with my species.
Scott Lloyd Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 This thread title has a grammar problem: agreement of subject and verb. It should be "what <is> the point of other planets". The subject is <point>, not <planets>. Thus, the subject is singular and takes a singular verb.
thesometimesaint Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 You're right it isn't. That's why species never go extinct and life is found on every planet. Oh wait...-guerreiro9 We have life on this planet from the deepest darkest coldest oceans to boiling hot water streams. Life itself is pretty durable. Individuals and species may or may not be. I never said we've found it on every planet. That is a straw-man argument.
Mola Ram Suda Ram Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 How about, that they are a by product of creation. There is a natural way to create a solar system. The by prodcut is additional planets and moons and comets and asteroids and space dust.
pogi Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) There is probably no life on Venus, Venus is the hottest planet in the Solar System. If you are a Cosmos: A Space-time Odyssey fan, then you would have learned from Neil deGrasse Tyson that Venus was a lot like planet Earth at one time with oceans, continents and temperate conditions, possibly harboring life.

Flyonthewall Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 I would say for the same reason that, even though we tell time by the hands and face of a clock, there are still all those gears and mechanisms on the inside of it.
theplains Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) Page 497 of The Progress of Man has a good explanation for this. "Worlds are filling the measure of their creation, dying, receiving their resurrection and place in the great universe, and others are coming to take their place and go through the same course of development. In this way thework of the Lord is one eternal round" (i.e. multiple Adams, Eves, Falls, possibly Lucifers, etc). Regards,Jim Edited December 5, 2014 by theplains
carbon dioxide Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 In the Milky Way Galaxy we got other planets besides just Earth which humans live on. What's the point of God creating planets like Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus, Venus, Pluto, Saturn, etc. if not to populate them with humans or other life beings? Do you think God created other life forms for those planets, are there aliens out there?Perhaps many worlds have spirits or resurrected beings on them. They do not require the same conditions that mortal man needs to exist on earth. A spirit or resurrected being would be has happy on Mercury or Neptune as they would be on Earth.

That is nice to know, we need to take care of our planet Earth. Venus is now the hottest planet in the solar system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wvqcHNonJ8

A spirit or resurrected being would be has happy on Mercury or Neptune as they would be on Earth.Why do you think that? Their bodies are still made up of matter and thus there is a good chance would be affected by their environment. 1

I am sure if one was to drop a thermonuclear bomb on the head of Satan or a resurrected person, it will not bother them too much.

" there is no space in which there is no kingdom, there is no kingdom in which there is no space. " More Americans know their Zodiacal sign than know that the earth revolves around the sun. Newton proved it for the motion of two bodies. What he couldn't figure out is how it worked for more than two bodies. That took about another 100 years.SEE http://www.naturalhistorymag.com/universe/211420/the-perimeter-of-ignorance Thought you might like this. http://www.naturalhistorymag.com/universe/211420/the-perimeter-of-ignorance
