Question Christian Only: View on extraterrestrials
Does it state anywhere in the bible that we are the only intelligent life that exists? What if it's found that there are numerous "earths" floating around in the universe? Would that fact contradict your beliefs? I'm just curious.

The only "extraterrestials" that I believe in are angels and demons.

I'm open to the possibility. I do not propose that "We Are Alone" as any article of the faith but rather to point out that those who insist "We Are Not Alone" do hold it as an article of faith...because there is nothing else to go on. Their arguments are purely aesthetic, beginning with phrases like "Surely, you don’t believe" or "How can a universe this big." I think that is more telling.

Either way, it wouldn't change the plan of salvation.

It would mess up our religion if there were not numerous other earths floating around the universe.

I believe that the Church has some basic policies about extraterrestial contact, such as whether they have souls or not, salvation and so forth.

I have looked on the internet, and I have not found the written policies themselves.

The statistical likely hood is, that one day we will have to face up to the existence of extra terrestrials. They of course will have the same problem.
Religions that can not adapt or change in the face of this reality, will have serious problems.
I do not feel that Christianity has a major problem here, except for those that insist that we are made in God's image.
We may have to conclude that God unlike us does not have a fixed image. Or that the Bible is in error on this fact.

I'm assuming that you consider ET's to be beings that only exist in an otherwordly realm (my apologies if I'm wrong). Do you believe that God and Satan are ET's too?
