I think it is highly possible that God did create life on other planets. Think of how Vast this universe is… Why would HE only put life on one little speck?

I don't know man, the Bible always seemed to say that we were God's chosen creation, so I can't imagine the existence of intelligentextra-terrestrial life. And Genesis states that the world is only a recent creation, I highly doubt there would be another species so advanced and great that they could reach our earth and hide themselves from us for so long.

Besides, as possible as it is that there would be intelligent life on another planet, it doesn't seem accurate from a Biblical perspective, and it definitely is not certain. The Universe is huge, but as far as my knowledge extends, I've never heard of another habitable planet or solar system besides ours.

Aliens would complicate things, unless of course they simplified things through God... but what's the likeliness of Christian Aliens "out there?"

Genesis 6 (KJV)

1And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

3And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

4There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

In the NIV the term “Giants” is called “4 The Nephilim.” Many people say that these “Sons of God” are fallen angels which pose as “Aliens” (a higher race of beings from another planet).

I think it is highly possible that God did create life on other planets. Think of how Vast this universe is… Why would HE only put life on one little speck?

This does not have any bearing on my Faith in Jesus as Messiah (and God himself) at all. God dealt with Earth in the way HE chose and the existence or non-existence of any other intelligent being in the universe has no bearing on that whatsoever. They (other intelligent beings) are under God’s authority as well for God created Everything!

I hope this helps to put things in a little different perspective.
