Sometimes I think this is so far fetched but then I think, "Isn't it kind of arrogant of us to think that in all the planets in all the billions of galaxies that ours is the only planet God created intelligent life on?" God is so great, I have to say no to that. What are other people's views on this?

I don't believe that God created life on other planets because of what I read in the Bible. The Bible says that because of Adam's sin, the whole universe was cursed. At the end of time, God is going to destroy the universe and create new heavens and a new Earth to replace what was corrupted by sin. If there was life on other planets, why would God have to destroy them because of Adam's sin on Earth. Doesn't make sense. This is the only planet with life.
Also, if there is intelligent life on other planets, than they must be sinners, because the Bible says that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Now if we have sinners on other planets, than Christ paid for their sins on a Cross in Judea, on planet earth. Doesn't make sense. We're it, the universe's only forms of life.

"And worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten" is a statement clearly defined by God about His Son in the Pearl of Great Price (Moses 1: 33-34). The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe that other worlds were created by the Lord and did inhabit them. No, Jesus will not have to die again on any other planet to save mankind. He died on Earth because He had to experience the most basest and wicked generation of His time to sink below all so that He would rule above all. This Earth was chosen as the mortal birthplace and as the first event of resurrection because it is the most wicked among all His creations (Moses 7: 36, PofGP). The Lord's death, great Atonement, and ultimate sacrifice was for all mankind on all the planets and earths created by Him. That is why the Atonement is such an infinite sacrifice on His part.

God didn't create life. The universe created life. Self-replicating molecules changed into self-replicating molecules with membranes. Self-replicating molecules with membranes changed into self-replicating molecules with membranes that can think. Self-replicating molecules with membranes that can think and needed answers created god.
I think there's life somewhere else in the universe. There are over 100 billion stars in this galaxy, and an estimated 125 billion galaxies within the universe. I doubt this planet is the only rock with self-replicating molecules.

Well, if God exists, of course he could create life on other planets.
Since God doesn't exist, the question itself is pointless.
I find it extremely arrogant that Christians think that God cares about an insignificant planet in a backwater corner of a galaxy among billions of galaxies among the universe which is possibly just a bubble in the multiverse.

Assuming that a god exists who created life on earth, then yes, it is entirely proper to assume that this god created life on many other planets in the universe. Unless gods are assigned to particular planets.

It's possible, I suppose. I can't recall anything in the Bible that says that we are the only life in the entire universe. I don't think that being a believer in Christ means that you can't believe in life on other planets. However, I do not believe that aliens have been visiting, abducting people, creating crop circles, and mutilating cattle (for what reason would they travel across the galaxy to slice and dice a few cows?).
I would be very interested to hear their Genesis stories, and wouldn't it be just fantastic if they were Christians, too? THAT would certainly bring about a fast and furious dialog amongst Christians and nonbelievers.

No, I do not believe he created life on other planets.
We are his only creation, just to show how loved and special we are and I am sure that he probably would have admitted if we were not alone.
Besides, Jesus died for our sins here on earth, so what about the sins of others on other planets, or did they never sin and are still sinless??
This leads to a lot of other questions.

God was invented on this planet, just like Allah, Yahweh, and all the Greek and Roman gods that are now dead.
If there is life on another planet, somewhere deep in the universe, they will likely have a different concept of religion, and certainly a different name for their god.

Of all the planets, stars, etc. in the universe God (Jesus) ransomed humanity on little planet Earth around 30 a.d.!! Earth (humanity) is the center of God's plan, where Christ (GOD) will return to Judge creation (angels, humans)>

I think so, Jesus said there are other "flocks" that we don't know about. It is arrogant to think we are the only intelligent life in the universe. In a ancient writing it was wrote that "God dwells in the Plaides near the sons of Orion" we know where the Plaides are but do not know who the sons of Orion are.

No. After seeing the big mess here, he is certainly doing it differently on other planets.
