The question is do you believe there are other life forms out there is Space. Do You think "God" only created Humans. With the size of the univerise, do you actually think we are the only intelligent life form out there?
If Yes give a reason why
If No give a reason why

CS Lewis wrote a trilogy that made an interesting point, what if God did populate other planets but didn't tell us about it because frankly it was none of our business. I can't rule out the existence of other life.

I'll start out by telling you i'm not Christian. I think it would go against Christian belief to accept the existence of intelligent life. If they (extraterrestrial beings) are intelligent and created by God, we can assume they have a soul. If Jesus died for everybody (with a soul), does that mean they go to hell for not hearing about Jesus because evangelists can't reach the outer limits of our galaxy? The only logical response to this is that it's possible Jesus (being God in Christianity) assumed the form of the extraterrestrials (like Christianity says he assumed human form), and died for them as well. My counter-objection to this is that it brings up the question: Was the history of the extraterrestrials the history as described in the Bible? The need for Jesus was a redemption from sin (Original Sin, to be particular) Did they have an Adam and Eve, a Fall of Man, Original Sin, a crucified savior, so on and so forth? If they did, that brings me to an understanding that there is no such thing as free will, because it is highly improbable that even two different cultures on two different planets in different galaxies would have the same history. Also, I believe some Christians would object to the existence of extraterrestrial life due to its not being specifically mentioned in the Bible. My personal belief, however, is that there is intelligent life created by a Higher Power (God, Allah, Yahweh, call the Higher Power what you will) somewhere else in our universe. I think the universe is just too vast for our tiny, little, insignificant planet to be the only planet harboring intelligent life. If there's no other life out there besides us, that's one hell of a waste of space. And I'm sure the other intelligent life is wondering the same thing we are.

Gen 2:1 tells us very clearly that "the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them." KJV
The host of THEM??
Yes, there is a host of life throughout the heavens.
And there might even be some similar to us because they came here and had sex with women and had offspring that weren't entirely like us.
Gen 6:4
There 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.
KJV

By "space" do we mean "outer orbital space?" For 'space' in the the physical-scientific sense defines also that volume in which we also inhabit. The Master of the Universe made more than mere humanity but an entire planet of created life forms. As to "life" in outer orbital space, then we cannot know for sure. Yet with signs of water on the planet Mars then who knows? The important question here is whould it matter to us if there was life outside of our native planet? Who is to question the divine will?

I believe that is possible for life to exist on other planets. We have yet to explore the entire universe so to claim that we are the only intelligent life in the universe is very arrogant. As for whether they do exist, I'm on the fence with that one.

I personally don't believe there are, but my reasoning is slightly uneducated at best. There really is no saying one way or another. I would think the Bible would at least elude to the possibility if it were true.

If there was other life on other planets then God would've had to have another Son to save them from their sins. I believe He only had one Son, Jesus.

don't know if there are any more life forms out there but would not be surprised at all if there is.
