They say that there are about one billion galaxies just like ours. It seems wrong to limit our God, who can do anything, to just one world and one species. What do you think??

It is hubris of the worst sort to believe that an infinite and loving Deity would create only two species capable of knowing and loving Him, ie, angels and humans.
Statistically, there must be at least 10 million planets in this galaxy alone which have the potential for sapient life. To accept that God would allow all this potential to go to waste is probably the sin of pride.
As for the answerer who said that any other beings would not have known Jesus, of course not. But you make some VERY unwarranted assumptions there.
A) You assume they too fell from grace. How do you know?
B) You assume that God the Son doesn't have the wherewithal to save them if they have fallen. How do you justify believing in an omnipotent Deity so weak He cannot save any species but our own?
Do I believe in extra-terrestrial sapient life? You betcha! But if they're a lot more technologically advanced than us, I don't wanta meet 'em. (see what happened to the Zulu nation when it encountered westerners)

Are you sure that "they" know what they are talking about. If there are other people on other planets the Lord Jesus Christ would have to go and die for their sins like He did for ours. God only created one earth were people can live. "They" never have proved that people can live on other planets. I believe God's Word over what "they" say anytime. Genesis 1: 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

I have no idea if there is life on other planets, but it is certainly possible that God created other civilizations. And if indeed he has then perhaps they haven't made the same mistakes we have or Jesus could have gone to them as well. I don't know that I believe in life outside of earth (besides the heavens of course) but the idea doesn't go against the Bible as far as I know.

If we can split open an atom and find all sorts of things inside meaning that infinity can go smaller, what's to say that infinity can't go bigger? I think God is limitless in all things. If we believe that God can be limited (meaning we are the only life in all the universe), then we truly are "Children of a Lesser God".

I read the answer that said that inhabitants of other planets is a product of evolution thinking. Why is that? Why couldn't God do the whole creation thing on other planets too? Would that make us jealous?

The idea that there is extraterrestrial life on other planets is solely an evolutionary one. They assume that since life could evolve here, it could evolve somewhere else. But life couldn't have evolved here, for numerous reasons, so it couldn't evolve somewhere else.
Kelly wrote that saying this limits God, but it doesn't, it demonstrates that we are a special creation. No other beings have the capacity to relate to God like we do.

Well if there were, we would have seen evidence of it. No. I don't think that life exists on any other planet besides the Earth.

it isn't wrong to believe in life on other planets according to Christianity. but if there is that would mean they never witnessed Jesus and therefor wouldn't have a soul.

I think that there are other lives on other planets. It would be so egotistical for us to believe we are the only one in this whole vastness of space.

There is no evidence that God created humans on Earth either.
