Maybe it’s all of the flying saucer home videos on YouTube, the 3,228 UFO sightings reported in 2018, or maybe the Trekkies have just won more people over,but survey after survey finds 60% of young Americans believe in intelligent extraterrestrial life. A few years back a National Geographic study reported 70% said they believed that extraterrestrials had already visited the earth.

Overall, about 55% of American adults believe in God as presented in the Bible. That number is propped up by the over-sixty crowd with 66% holding their faith. Millennials, however, come in around 40%, with the other 60% betting on E.T. or nothing. With a millennial church attendance drop-out rate of almost 60 percent, it doesn’t seem likely that God is going to be making a comeback with this group anytime soon.

Perhaps these young people are looking towards outer space to fill a vacuum in their spiritual lives. Either the church failed them, or something just pulled them away…it doesn’t really matter—they’re gone now.

So, who cares and why am I reading this?

Can we assume that the current moral decay in our society is related to so many people abandoning their religious values, and having nothing to replace them? It’s kind of hard to put much stock in the Ten Commandments if you don’t believe in the author. And can we assume that a nation without a good moral foundation is likely to fall into chaos? I say yes to both assumptions. Recent surveys on declining attitudes regarding families and marriage show an alarming long-term downward trend. The family is the bedrock of any society.

uh huh..there's more
