At my house, we love science and speculative fiction--books, movies, games, you name 'em. Some of us are writers and have even created alien worlds and cultures for stories or video games. Not everyone is happy with the notion of intelligent life other than just on Planet Earth, however, mostly due to their religious beliefs. So I thought I would check out what MY religious belief has to say about other worlds. The latest article from the Baha'i site at BellaOnline.com.

Do Bahá'ís Believe in Extraterrestrial Life ?
The Bahá'í Faith does have within its sacred texts several comments about the extent of God's creation that suggest non-terrestrial life is both possible and already existent.

Meanwhile, Ayyám-i-Há is coming! The last four days before the month of Fasting in the Bahá'í Calendar are given over to parties, presents, good works and charity. We have a very good time. Here are links to several articles on the subject:
