LIFE ELSEWHERE <\/p>\n

It is not really blasphemous,
\nTo believe in an alien race,
\nThere is nothing in the Bible,
\nThat excludes some other place.<\/p>\n

The Bible was in fact written,
\nJust for dwellers of the Earth,
\nThe Lord told us our own story,
\nOf how humans were given birth.<\/p>\n

Perhaps He made life elsewhere,
\nWho may be as human as we are,
\nAnd maybe they live on a planet,
\nWhose Sun is just another star.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
