I don't know about teleporting to another galaxy when we die. That sounds pretty James Bond/Star Wars to me, but, it is an interesting topic. Who know's? You may be right. I definatley think that there is another planet out there just like Earth and wondering the same things we are-is there life on other planets? Is there another "Planet Earth?" Why wouldn't there be? You can not tell me that we are the only planet, in the entire galaxy, in all the galaxies, in the entire universe, to have life. I don't beleive it. What I can believe is that it will never be discovered in our life time and, if it is, it will probably be hidden from us like some dirty little secret.

I think I can answer this one by means of an analogy.
In the gospel of Luke, the rich man who ignored and neglected the poor beggar Lazarus while he starved to death at his gate went to hell. While the rich man was suffering, he called out to Abraham, whom he could see at a distance, and asked for relief.
Abraham answered, "Son, remember that during your life you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. And besides all this, a great gulf has been placed between us, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us."
(This was the merciful, the compassionate Jesus telling people about what would happen, after He judged the living & the dead! He actually talked more about hell than He did about heaven.)
The Bible does speak of a teleportation of sorts, popularly called the 'rapture'. This will not be of the dead, but of the living Christians, those who have been forgiven before the final time of persecution and suffering that the whole world will go through, the 'end times'.
Paul describes it. "Listen, I'm explaining something mysterious: we will not all die, but we will all be changed-- in a flash, in the wink of an eye, at the last trumpet. The trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised never to decay again, and we will be made immortal." (First Corinthians.)
Jesus also referred to it. "The return of the Son of Man" (that is, Himself) "will be just as abrupt as the days of Noah. Before the Flood, people were eating and drinking, getting married and their children were getting married, up until; the day Noah entered the ark. They had no idea of what was happening until the Flood happened, and took them all away. That is how it will be at the return of the Son of Man: two men will be working outside in the fields; one will be taken and the other will be left. Two women will be working inside at a mill; one will be taken and the other will be left." Just before this He referred to sending His angels out to gather up His chosen ones.
Whether we die or are raptured, we must all face Jesus some day and give an account of ourselves to Him. He will gather up those who have asked for forgiveness and those who wanted nothing to do with Him, and separate them so that they can never reach each other.
I'll take that over visiting another galaxy any day...!

Actually, if you wait long enough, you won't have to travel very far. Another galaxy (I think it's Andromeda) is on a collision course with our own, and should be here in a few billion years or so.

If we can penetrate a black hole(that sound sexual) like it is alleged the aliens that visit us do, then yes. Our current technology is very primitive in regards to space travel. I would estimate another 200 years before we actually leave this galaxy(manned) and land on a planet or other floating orb. Id love to know whats out there. Good question.

I wish we could visit other galaxies. However death is just death, when you die that's it, it's over. Until then let's make this a beautiful happy world to live in with lots of love and caring for each other.

You could belive it if you wanted to, I suppose, but I can't think of a single reason to do so. I think you've been reading/watching too much science fiction. :o)
