Aliens

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1

This is the Bible verse that Eli learned about in his Bible Study class this morning. They colored a picture and made a Styrofoam Earth on a stick. We were driving home and this was part of our conversation:

Eli: Mommy, all the people live on Earth. Except aliens, they live on other planets.

Me: Well, I don't believe that aliens are real.

Eli: Why not?

Me: Well, some people think they are real, and some people don't. I don't think they are real.

Eli: I do, and they are because I know they are.

Me: Which planets do you think they live on?

Eli: Not Earth, maybe Saturn or Mars. But, I'm sure they're real because I know they are.
