Talk:Rebirth or Resurrection: Based on a Geocentric theory of the Universe
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
The Christians believe that we can go to heaven by accepting Jesus Christ as the Son of God alone. Muslims hold that we must believe in the Prophethood of Muhammad. Now, both of these gentlemen were born on this earth. So, if there is any life on some other planet, how do the people on those planets attain salvation? The Bible and the Koran are based on a geocentric notion of the Universe or they preclude the existence of any intelligent life in our infinite Universe-something that would be an anathema to modern scientists (and Hindu sages). The Hindu scriptures declare that the Universe is infinite and there is life in different forms in the Universe. This seems closer to the truth.
