Are there any Christians out there who believe in aliens? What to y'all think about the idea that there are many many earths just like us or maybe different from us? What if there's another earth with an Adam and Eve who didn't eat from the tree? Don't you think it's possible that our earth is not God's only creation?

God created the entire Universe. It would be a colassal waste if we were the only ones in it.

true believers in God do not believe in aliens...(at least aliens as you might define them)
the idea of having many earths & in turn many adam & eves & that with the vastness of the universe, it would be such a waste if there are only us that are alive... have fascinated atheists and agnostics and other ists for a long time...
but what usually (but not always) happens is that cosmologists & physicists & scientists & all other ists (who started as atheists or agnostics) become convinced that as they begin to study the possiblities and they begin to understand the odds of our earth having all the conditions that was necessary to support human life & they realize that these odd are so astronomically mind-bloggling...
they come to the conclusion that there must be a God (a supernatural agency) that placed everything in motion (& imagine to think that there can be another earth out there somewhere in the vastness of the universe--that would truly blow their minds away)

Any thing is possible for God. Although I don't believe in Aliens. Maybe the other planets are there for some reason. But I think we are the only humans, living right here on earth.

The problem with aliens (and this is sentient aliens--there's no real problem with microbes or mushrooms or whatever on another planet, although they're not all that interesting either) is the redemption story. Christ became human and died on the cross to defeat death once and for all. Assuming there was an alien race, then He would theoretically need to become alien and die there as well to defeat death, which doesn't really make sense, for Him to be fully human, fully alien, and fully God, and for Him to need to die to defeat death twice even though the Bible says He defeated death on the cross once and for all.
Now, if there was another planet where the aliens didn't sin, then they wouldn't need to be redeemed (C.S Lewis' Perelandra series deals with this). I would think, however, if those aliens were perfectly good, and had the technology to travel across space and reach us, then they would be required by their good nature to aid us, and so would have revealed themselves to us. Since they haven't, I'd assume that either they don't have sufficient technology (which, since we don't have sufficient technology either, makes this a moot point), or that they don't exist.

It's possible, but the Bible is completely silent on the matter. We've had no evidence of this being true. But I'm "agnostic" regarding alien life form. I don't believe it can be proven one way or another. (Unless of course they show up and prove themselves.)
It doesn't help or hinder my faith in God if alien life exists. Good question, I just don't really have an answer.

They could be from different worlds,but are they sinless,did Jesus die for them too?I'm more inclined to think that what the ancients called Angels and Demons,are what we are calling Aliens and UFOs.Poeple talk about the small"Greys" who are not nice and the tall "Nordics"they call them cause they are blond and they are nice.Angels,Demons,neither?

Who are we to be so self important to think that there can't be any other life out there? The universe is huge and will go on long after we're all gone.

I suppose it depends on how big you think God is. If you believe he can do anything he wants then yes I suppose it's possible

I have no idea, but I won't begin to put limits on what God does.

With God anything is possible! We can't rule that out!
