I'm going to bump my own thread with another serious question on this subject:
I am asking this from a Christian perspective but I do invite all other opinions and beliefs.
If we can, simply for the sake of arguement, assume that there was or is life on other planets do you believe God sent his prophet (being his son or whoever) to these planets to spread His teachings? I assure you I am not being sarcastic in this thread by any means whatsoever.

My reasons would be that God explains Himself in Genesis. He created the heavens and the earth. He also mentions the firmament, etc. So I would say the earth is the arena for His pleasure. He seems to say that He made the stars/firmament for the earth, as well as the sun, and moon.
Furthermore, if He did create life on other worlds, He does not say.
If He did, I don't think we would get a surprise "visit" some day. Knowing His attributes from the bible, He would have prepared mankind for such an event. I think He loves man too much. Don't you see the chaos this would entail? Just my thoughts. Will be interesting to see what else comes down the pipeline here.

well, you'd have thought he would've gave up here and gone elsewhere with a new canvas.
If at first you don't succeed try try again.
but i don't think if ET came here they would believe in god, anyway if they came here with all their warp technology and stuff, and made us look stupid with hard evidence of how the universe was actually created would we still believe in god?? i think i've gone off track here

This makes sense because the worlds population is growing exponentially. Apparently souls from other planets may reincarnate here. Their goal is to get out of the life cycle, or at least reincarnate on a better planet, one that is more spiritually developed that is.

As far as I know the Bible doesn't get into it. I could be wrong though.

There could be. I think that if there is life on another planet, it wont be aliens, but humans.

Originally posted by checkbaiterFair enough but, as mentioned in the movie Contact it seems like an awful waste of space (the millions of other galaxies, planets, etc) if there was not some sort of other form of life.

Here's just an idea and something to ponder: What if the Christ was actually a visitor from another world that was called "Heaven"? What if Jesus was actually an alien and the Bible was actually some sort of textbook of how mankind should behave?
