To me it is a certainty that life exists elsware in the universe, with a high probability that some of it will be intelligent. Does that worry you, or do you accept it as fact?

no one can accept it as fact since it is not known, by any one, to be fact.
I am of The True Christian Faith. I have no problem what-so-ever with the concept that there are other life forms out there in the universe. I am personaly certain that there are. Are there inteligent civiliztions out there? I again think there could be millions of them.
The True Christian Faith is based on The fact of God's existance and what God has provided for mankind on this planet. I do not know what God has provided for any other seed he most likely has planted out there. I Hope to learn the truth of all of that one day.

I am a Christian but the thought of other life on another planet isnt offensive. I think it's rather exciting. I'm not sure if life exists on other planets and I don't ponder it often and don't worry about it at all. If we meet aliens then it was meant to be. God's will will be done. God bless!

I have a very strong Christian faith, and I believe there is life on other planets. Mainly because of THE ODDS: With so many different worlds out there, the odds allow for many of them to have life ... even intelligent life!
As for my faiths part in that opinion, the christian faith tells us to be humble and exercise humility... awefully arogant to belive that we're the ONLY life in such a vast universe (almost as vain to think we're the only one that counts on the planet). I think many people are afraid of there being life on other planets because then they may loose what they feel makes humans "special" or even "superior".
I can see no reason why faith should interfere with the issue.

C.S. Lewis, the author of the Chronicles of Narnia, wrote three adult science fiction novels. The first, set on Mars, was about an older society (I think there may have even been more than one sentient species) where the Fall never occurred. The second, set on Venus, is about a planet where a green couple are experiencing the equivalent of the temptation to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil
God is bigger than our minds, thank God. He may have created intelligent life on other planets. Cool if he did, fine if he didn't.

Not offensive to me--in fact look forward to it with the hope will be alive myself when life is found to exist on a planet other than earth.

I know that a few theists on this board have declared that if there were intelligent lifge out there that it would be our duty to convert them to (fill in the blank).
I've also seen some here insist that we are the only intelligent species in the universe and that any others we might encounter would actually be demons in disguise.
There are those that regard us as the sole purpose of the universe...then turn around in another question and talk about how humble they are...

I accept the premise that there is man on other planets. LDS scriptures (the Pearl of Great Price) clearly defines the fact that "worlds without number" did God create and the Christ atoned not just for humanity on Earth, but for all His creations wherever they may be.

No not at all, but I don't think that it is likely, even with all of the Area 51 conspiracy stories. I think that if there was intelligent life on other planets, we would already know about it by now, what with all the gazillion satellites we have out there, the space station, it is not uncharted territory.

I used to, but then I realized how silly that is. The same way God created not only Earth with its people, but also Heaven with its angels is the same way He could have created many other worlds with life too. The Bible doesn't really talk much about anywhere else, but maybe that's because it's just not necessary for us to know about other planets with life.

How is it that in all the universes and on all the planets that are out there that we are the only one with life, it doesn't make sence. I'm not saying little green men came and visited us, but there are countless universes and countless planets, why would we be the only one with life.... its to improbable.
