The answer to this question comes from the Bible—the Eternal Word of God[i]—given to us by the Holy, Loving and Perfect – Creator, Ruler and Judge of the Universe. Now, while the Bible does not explicitly answer this question, it does give us the information needed to discern the answer. The best way to begin, therefore, is by asking:
WHY DID GOD CREATE THE UNIVERSE?
The Bible tells us that God—an infinite and eternal spirit[ii]—decided that He wanted a forever family.[iii] This required the creation of humans—physical beings, created in His image,[iv] so we could understand and relate to Him—who could then pro-create and fill a world. It also required a physical realm where we could live.[v] Necessary also, was that humans be given ‘free-will’ – the freedom to accept or reject God and, therefore, the freedom to obey or disobey Him. This is why there is sin in the world,[vi] why God stepped into His creation (into His physically created realm, as a human[vii]), so He could suffer and die for our sins,[viii] and why this temporary world is all messed up. (Jesus’ death on the cross is like a father who pays a fine for his child. Justice is upheld, yet mercy is provided.)
In regard to this physical realm—the earth and its’ universe—the Bible tells us that God created it in six twenty-four hour days,’[ix] about six-thousand years ago.[x] (Logic, wisdom, physical-science, physics, astronomy, geology, archaeology and nature all agree.[xi].) If you doubt this, keep reading! The Bible also tells us the order in which God created the universe and the purpose for the various parts of it.
Day 1: He created a formless mass of water, from which He would then form the earth. He also created light, calling the light “day,” and the darkness “night.”[xii]
Day 2: He then created an expanse between the waters, leaving some of the water above the expanse and some of it below. God called the expanse “sky” – (also known as the ‘first heaven’).[xiii] (The ‘second heaven’ is where He would place the sun, moon and stars, and the ‘third heaven’ is where His Throne is and where Christians go when we die.)
Day 3: He then pulled all of the water below the expanse together (forming a sphere) and made dry ground appear. He called the dry ground “land” and the gathered waters “seas.” He then created the vegetation.[xiv]
Day 4: He then created the sun, moon and stars. The sun and moon were to give light to the earth and to mark day and night. The stars were to mark seasons days and years.[xv] The massive size of the universe was to show us His glory.[xvi]
Day 5: He then created all the creatures of the sea and every kind of bird.[xvii]
Day 6: He then created animals – livestock, wild animals and everything which moves along the ground. Then, for His finest and final creation (after angels) He created mankind. He also created us in His image (i.e. with thoughts, will, emotions and language; intellectual, relational, creative and industrious; with a sense of morality and a desire to be loved), and gave us dominion over His earth.[xviii]
So, the universe exists for the benefit of the earth, and the earth and the universe exist for the benefit of mankind. Mankind’s significance is made further evident by the overall effects of human sin. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, it affected the entire creation, not just people and not just the earth. The entire universe became subject to the ‘universal law of decay’ (the Second Law of Thermodynamics). If there were any beings on other planets, they too would be suffering because of the sin of Adam and Eve, but without any contact. It’s also important to note that this ‘universal decay’ will end when the last person on earth who is going to accept salvation, does so.[xix] Actually, once this occurs, the decay will not only end, God will create a new heaven and a new earth, where He will live with His children forever.[xx]
So, the answer is – ‘No!’
THERE IS NO INTELLIGENT LIFE IN OUTER-SPACE!’
This answer, however, raises other questions: ‘Why do people believe in ‘extra-terrestrial-intelligence?’ and ‘Why does it matter?’
WHY DO PEOPLE BELIEVE IN ‘EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL-INTELLIGENCE?’
There are several contributors to this false belief. (A) Ignorance: People don’t know what God has revealed in the Bible about the Universe; Why He spoke it into existence[xxi] and the fact that He is going to redo it once He has His forever family.[xxii] (B) Imagination and Deceit: Without this knowledge, people have only their imaginations; deceit (lies concocted by humans and ‘rebellious angels’ encouraging this belief); unfeasible suggestions (if aliens actually existed, the closest possible ones would require over 800,000 years to travel to the earth[xxiii]); media hype (which is driven by ratings as opposed to truth); and the entertainment industry’s creativity – to determine what they believe.[xxiv] (You can be assured that none of the most popular ‘space-alien stories’ were written by Christians: War of the Worlds, Star Trek, Star Wars, etc.)[xxv]
WHY DOES BELIEF IN ‘EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL-INTELLIGENCE’ MATTER?
Shortly before God created Adam and Eve, He created angels. Angels are non-physical beings, who—like humans—possess thoughts, free-will and emotions. They were to serve God in His kingdom. Lucifer—the ultimate of God’s creation—was assigned the highest angelic position.[xxvi] Being the highest ranking ‘servant’ in the universe, however, wasn’t good enough for him; he wanted to be like God![xxvii] (This, however, was impossible, as our Creator is all knowing, all seeing, infinite, omnipresent and all powerful.) As a result of his desire, Lucifer rebelled and has become the enemy of God and the enemy of mankind.[xxviii] He is now referred to as “the devil” or “Satan,” (slanderer or deceiver). He is also the central force behind this ‘extra-terrestrial-intelligence’ deception. Because of this, this question—‘Why does belief in E.T.I. matter?’—will be addressed as it relates to his objectives for our world.
Satan’s greatest desire is to rule and be worshipped.[xxix] Temporarily, he has succeeded.[xxx] When he rebelled, one-third of the angels followed him[xxxi] (who are now referred to as “demons”), and when he tempted mankind into sin, we also fell under his control. Humans remain under Satan’s control (as much as God allows) until we repent and accept Jesus as Lord and Savior.[xxxii] Salvation, therefore, is a defection from and a defeat to Satan’s kingdom. Consequently, his greatest objective is to keep people from accepting Jesus.
HOW CAN BELIEF IN EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL-INTELLIGENCE KEEP PEOPLE FROM ACCEPTING JESUS?
The methods which Satan uses to keep people under his dominion—and, thus, out of a relationship with Jesus—are many; temptations, accusations, peer pressure, distractions (the temporal vs. the eternal), substitutions (religion for relationship), etc. His greatest weapon, however, is always a ‘lie.’[xxxiii] (You can provide my enemies with superior artillery, but if I can deceive them into believing that you’re the bad guy, I win!)
Regarding supposed extra-terrestrial-intelligence, Satan wants people to believe that aliens are ‘out there’ – to encourage belief in the Theory of Evolution; as well as ‘visiting here’ – to deceive people into accepting demonic guidance. The following is a brief explanation of both of these issues.
The Theory of Evolution and ‘Aliens Out There:’ The ‘Theory of Evolution’ is a totally unbiblical, unscientific and illogical fallacy (i.e. ‘blatantly evil,’ ‘totally false’ and ‘utterly stupid’).
Which mammal evolved first; the mommy or the baby? Which sex evolved first; the male or the female? How many generations did it take for the other one to arrive? Why does it require a world of books to describe the micro and macro complexity of the human body? What so devalues a person, as telling them they a cosmic accident, there is no God who loves them, and there is no life after death?
This theory—‘greatly’ inspired and supported by Satan—can be aptly described as ‘the intellectual rebellion of man.’ It claims that the Bible is wrong, God doesn’t exist and humans have no need of salvation! (Atheists know this! God knows this! Do Christians know this?)
“It becomes clear now that the whole justification of Jesus’ life and death is predicated on the existence of Adam and the forbidden fruit he and Eve ate. Without the original sin, who needs to be redeemed? Without Adam’s fall into a life of constant sin terminated by death, what purpose is there to Christianity? None. . . . Christianity has fought, still fights, and will fight science to the desperate end over evolution, because evolution destroys utterly and finally the very reason Jesus’ earthly life was supposedly made necessary. Destroy Adam and Eve and the original sin, and in the rubble you will find the sorry remains of the son of god. Take away the meaning of his death. If Jesus was not the redeemer who died for our sins, and this is what evolution means, then Christianity is nothing!” (G. Richard Bozarth, American Atheist Magazine, Feb., 1978.)
“If all the animals and man had been evolved in this ascendant manner, then there had been no first parents, no Eden, and no Fall. And if there had been no fall, then the entire historical fabric of Christianity, the story of the first sin and the reason for an atonement, upon which the current teaching based Christian emotion and morality, collapsed like a house of cards.” (Atheist& Science Fiction Author – H.G. Wells, The outline of history — being a plain history of life and mankind, Cassell & Company Ltd, London, UK, (the fourth revision), Vol. 2, p. 616, 1925.) (H.G. Wells wrote, “War of the Worlds;”- a fictional story about space aliens coming to the earth).
For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. (God – Creator of the universe, 2 Timothy 4:3,4) (Myth: Mother Nature kissed an ugly frog and it evolved into a handsome prince).
* * * For a quick, logical debunking of this theory, read the poem, “True Brilliance, Evolution Exposed.” For a thorough debunking—including refuting the supposed ‘millions of years’ which evolutionists say have passed,’—read “The Second Most Incredible Book about God, Life, Death, Heaven, Hell, Satan, the Theory of Evolution and the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence.”(Both of these resources are available free on this website: SolidRockPoetry.com.).
For this deception, evolutionists—deceivers being deceived by Satan[xxxiv]—suggest that ‘life evolved on earth’ (i.e. it happened by accident). They then cunningly proclaim that they see evidence of life ‘out in space’[xxxv] (or, at the least, conditions conducive to life ‘out in space’[xxxvi]). They then claim that – ‘since we believe that life evolved on earth,’ and we see evidence of life out in space, that means that life also evolved out there. Finally—completing the circle— they conclude that, since we see that life evolved out there, that proves that it also evolved down here. (This is ‘circular reasoning’- a logical fallacy: “A” proves “B,” and “B” proves “A.”)
Demonic Guidance and ‘Aliens Down Here:’ If a demon seeks to influence a person—revealing their true identity and agenda—the person would, no doubt, reject any information, guidance or help offered. If, however, a demon presents itself as some kind of helpful entity—a good angel,[xxxvii] a spirit of nature (of a river, mountain, dead spider,[xxxviii] etc.), the ghost of a departed family member, or some ‘friendly space alien’—people would be (and are) far more likely to listen.[xxxix] If they do, they are listening to the most evil, hate-filled and deceptive beings in creation; each with 6,000 years of experience in this battle.[xl] Everything which then transpires between them is cleverly designed to keep them away from truth and away from Jesus. (F.Y.I. Demons are infinitely outmatched by the Holy Spirit—“God,” the third member of the Trinity—who is always present in every Christian.[xli])
THINGS TO NOTE:
- ‘Intellectual Beings:’ There is nothing in existence with ‘intellect,’ except God, humans, angels and demons. People should disregard all communications if they think a rock, river, rodent (or computer) is talking to them. (People will never put a soul into a computer! ‘Soul migration’ is a demonic fantasy associated with another lie – ‘reincarnation.’[xlii])
- ‘Dead People:’ When people die, they go immediately to Paradise (with Jesus)[xliii] or to a place of punishment (alone).[xliv] They are not hanging around, seeking to interact with us.[xlv]
- ‘God-like People:’ Demons want people to think that we can be like God[xlvi]—possessing supernatural knowledge and power—so we don’t think that we need God.[xlvii] They offer false knowledge (lies and philosophies intended to exalt us or denigrate God), and pretend power (affecting things in the physical realm—hoping to make us think that we did it). This deceit comes in a multitude of forms, under a multitude of names: witchcraft, magic, ki, chi, prana, mind-over-matter, supernatural positive thinking, positive confession; ghosts, familiar spirits, nature spirits, masquerading as good angels, space-aliens; crystal balls, talking boards, tarot cards, horoscopes, tea leaves, divining rods, etc., etc., etc.)
- ‘Abducted People;’ ‘False Memories’ and ‘Other Alien Encounters:’ Demons can implant thoughts, dreams and visions into a person’s mind, without the person knowing it.[xlviii] According to some reports, most ‘alien abductions’ are remembered while the victims are under hypnosis[xlix] (i.e. while they are most receptive to implanted thoughts, dreams and visions). Demonic deception—in the form of ‘alien encounters’—may not, however, be limited to the realm of the mind. God’s holy angels can manifest in physical form.[l] The evil ones may also have this ability.
- ‘Alien Philosophy:’ So called ‘extra terrestrial guidance’—information received from demons, masquerading as a little green men with scales (or in any other form)—generally lines up with ‘New Age’ teaching (a.k.a. Hinduism, ancient or modern spiritualism, etc.). This means, of course, that it disagrees with the Word of God—the Bible—on all of life’s most important issues.[li]
- ‘Dead Aliens:’ If space aliens actually existed, and they tried to visit the earth, the ‘822,000 year’ trip[lii] would have resulted in the younger generation being thrown out for asking, “Are we there yet?” The rest would have died from old age. (P.S. God can operate beyond time and space; physical beings cannot!)
- The ‘Rapture’ and the ‘Mother Ship:’ At some time in the future—possibly soon—God is going to “rapture” His children from the Earth. He will suddenly, without warning, transport all of His children to Heaven (enabling us to avoid physical death).[liii] Afterward, He will begin to pour out His wrath on the remaining inhabitants. (God is not unjust! He will punish sin; both here and in Hell!) This wrath—which is referred to as “the tribulation”—will be seven years of the most horrible judgment the world has ever, or will ever experience.[liv] During this time, however, even though Billions of people will be killed,[lv] many will turn their lives over to Him—accepting His death on the cross as payment for their sins—and spend eternity in Heaven.[lvi] (Even during His wrath, God extends mercy to those who will receive Him.) Regarding this future event—‘the rapture’—many Christians have wondered, ‘What will the world think, when millions of people suddenly disappear?’ There have been more than a couple of scenarios proposed as the answer to this question, but one holds my attention: What if Satan can deceive people into believing that the missing citizens have been abducted by aliens (and taken up to the “Mother Ship”[lvii])? Demons have achieved a degree of success, convincing people that ‘space aliens’ have contacted and, in some cases, abducted humans. How hard would it be to get the general population to accept this? Satan has abilities which we do not understand, (like causing fire to come down from the sky[lviii]) and he is the greatest deceiver in the universe. If anyone doubts that he could accomplish this, remember what he has done with the Theory of Evolution.
CONCLUSION:
The eternal God—the ‘Trinity;’ Father, Son and Holy Spirit—is family. This eternal God—who is described as “love”—wanted a bigger family. This eternal God has, therefore, created mankind for the purpose of making us His children, taking us to Heaven and loving us forever.
He has given us life, ‘in His image,’ so we can understand and relate to Him. He has given us ‘free-will,’ so accepting Him and loving Him back can be a choice. He has given us his Son to take the punishment for our sins (to uphold justice, while granting mercy). He has offered us His righteousness, in exchange for our wickedness. He has given us His Holy Spirit to convict us of sin; call us to repentance and into His family; and to guide and empower us to live our lives according to His will. He has given us His Word—the Bible—to explain all this. He has given us preachers (and authors) to call this to our attention. * * And He has given us ‘Satan’—rebel, deceiver, loser[lix]—to present us with alternatives to His offer. (For ‘free-will’ to exist, there must be options, and for options to exist, they must be presented.) God cannot present these options—these alternatives—but He can, and must, allow Satan to do so. So, the choice is before us: Accept our almighty, loving and eternal Creator—as Lord, Savior, Father and Friend[lx]—or miss the reason for our existence and spend eternity suffering for our sins in the pitch black sulfuric fires of Hell.
God cannot allow injustice to go unpunished, nor force us to accept Him and His sacrifice on the cross for our sins. He cannot overrule ‘free-will’ or force us to become His children! He has, however, done everything possible and provided everything needed to enable this to this happen. He loves us beyond our imaginations and He wants as His family!!! Satan has a million lies: (We are God! We can become God! There is no God! There are millions of Gods! Nature is God! The universe is God! We don’t need God! We are good enough for God!). God has one truth: (He—the Creator of Heaven and Earth—is the way to Heaven from Earth!)[lxi] The choice is in our (your) hands! I pray that you will make the right one!
[i] The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever. Isaiah 40:8 /// All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness . . . 2 Timothy 3:16
[ii] But will God really dwell on earth with men? The heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain you. 2 Chronicles 6:18 /// Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. Psalm 90:2
[iii] How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! 1 John 3:1
[iv] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27 / (Humans have been created in Gods’ image, with thoughts, will and emotions; intellectual and relational, with language, creativity, a sense of morality and a desire to be loved. / ‘In His image’ does not mean ‘visually.’)
[v] For this is what the Lord says- he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited- he says: “I am the Lord, and there is no other. Isaiah 45:18
[vi] Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned—Romans 5:12
[vii] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. . . The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. John 1:1 & 14
[viii] For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, 1 Peter 3:18
[ix] For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them. Exodus 20:11
[x] (((Two ways to calculate))) = = = = = (((Method #1))) Adam was created on the sixth day of creation week. (Mark 10:6, Genesis 1:26‑31) / There were 1,056 years from the creation of Adam to the birth of Noah. (Genesis 5) / There were 600 years from the birth of Noah to the flood. (Genesis 7:6) / There are an estimated 1,500 years ‑ based upon 25 generations from Noah to King David of Israel who’s kingdom existed approximately 1000 B.C. (Luke 3:31‑36) / There are an estimated 1,000 years from King David to the birth of Jesus (1000 B.C. to 0 A.D.). / There have been approximately 2,000 years since the birth of Jesus (0 A.D. to 2000 A.D.) / / Calculation = 1,056 + 600 + 1,500 + 1,000 + 2,000 = 6,156 years. = = = = = (((Method #2))) The Bible gives the lineage from the first man (Adam) to Jesus Christ (seventy-six generations) who was here in human flesh approximately two-thousand years ago. (See Exodus 20:11, Mark 10:6, Genesis 1:26‑31, Luke 3:23‑38). This indicates that the earth is only a few thousand years old. If we stretch these genealogies to their breaking point, we may get 10,000 years.

[xii]In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth .Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning the first day. Genesis 1:1-5
[xiii]And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.” So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. God called the expanse “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. Genesis 1:6‑8
[xiv]And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” . . . Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation . . . And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day. Genesis 1:9‑13
[xv]And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.” . . . And there was evening, and there was morning-the fourth day.Genesis 1:14‑15, 19
[xvi]The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Psalm 19:1
[xvii]So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning-the fifth day. Genesis 1:21,23
[xviii]God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. Genesis 1:25,26,31
[xix]The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. Romans 8:19‑21
[xx] Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. Revelation 21:1,2 /// For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 1 Thessalonians 4:16‑17
[xxi] For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created for him and by him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Colossians 1:16, 17
[xxii] Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away . . . Revelation 21:1
[xxiii] At the speed at which the Apollo missions flew to the moon, it would take approximately 822,000 years to get to or from the closest possible location for life to exist elsewhere in the universe, if it did. After the sun, the next closest star to the earth (Proxima Centauri) is approximately 25.284 trillion miles away. A space craft traveling at the speed at which the Apollo missions went to the moon (taking three days to travel the approximately 252,711 miles), would take approximately 822,000 years to get to / or from this star. (252,711 miles in three days = 84,237 miles per day. *** 25.284 trillion miles / 84,237 miles per day = 300,150,000 days. *** 300,150,000 days / 365 days per year = 822,329 years). At faster speeds there would be other problems. If it turned out that there was no life around this star, the next one is even farther.

[xxxv] The “Mars Rock” — A potato size rock found in Antarctica, believed to be a meteorite from Mars, contained microscopically small globules of carbon (1/1000 the diameter of a human hair) which externally resembled bacteria, as well as certain chemicals and minerals which Evolutionists claimed had resulted from once living organisms. / / The reality of it is: (1). The shapes were too small to be bacteria (too small to hold enough genetic information to be reproducing organisms). (2). Evidence shows that these shapes were formed at temperatures which were too hot for life to exist. (3). The chemicals found–which are sometimes produced by living things–are also found in soot and diesel exhaust, and are quite common in asteroids. (4). The minerals found–which can be produced by living organisms–can also be produced by processes which have nothing to do with life. (5). The ratio of two types of sulfur found in the rock is inconsistent with life. (6). Even if microscopic life had, at one time, been present in this rock, there is no reason to believe that it did not enter during the unknown length of time that it sat on the earth. The pattern of organic compounds is like that found in the surrounding Antarctic ice.

[xxxvi] People searching for evidence of ‘extra-terrestrial-intelligence’ often resort to a ‘search for evidence of water,’—recognized as a requirement for life—because they can’t find evidence of ‘E.T.I.’ Evidence has never been found for ‘extra-terrestrial water’ either.

[xxxix] Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. 1 John 4:1-3

[lii] At the speed at which the Apollo missions flew to the moon, it would take approximately 822,000 years to get to or from the closest possible location for life to exist elsewhere in the universe, if it did. After the sun, the next closest star to the earth (Proxima Centauri) is approximately 25.284 trillion miles away. A space craft traveling at the speed at which the Apollo missions went to the moon (taking three days to travel the approximately 252,711 miles), would take approximately 822,000 years to get to / or from this star. (252,711 miles in three days = 84,237 miles per day. *** 25.284 trillion miles / 84,237 miles per day = 300,150,000 days. *** 300,150,000 days / 365 days per year = 822,329 years). At faster speeds there would be other problems. If it turned out that there was no life around this star, the next one is even farther.
