Christianity is not even the dominate religion on this planet. Why would it possibly be on others?
IF they have religions, they have invented their own gods....just like we did

I'm not too sure of your science. Yes, there are thousands of other worlds similar to ours. But intelligent beings? I've never seen any scientific papers on this? I think you're confusing philosophy with science.
But assuming you are right. There would be no Adam and Eve, no Devil and no Christ. So, pretty similar to here...
William F answered:
"There is no scientific reason to believe such a thing. It is purely conjecture - like the notion that if you wait long enough life might just spontaneously rise up out of ground."
As I said above, this is philosophy not science. But life springing out of the ground is science. It's not possible to prove but that does not mean it is false. It also doesn't mean that it is doubted. A scientific theory is almost never proven. They can only be disproven. They rest on the supporting evidence. Life being created by a god is religion. It is not a scientific theory. And there is no supporting evidence.

Question: Do these intelligent beings really exist? Do you have proof?
Atheists argue that, if we were to say that God exists, then the burden of proof would be on us. Well, in the same way, if science tells us that there are probably thousands of worlds similar to ours with intelligent beings, then the burden of proof is on the scientists, otherwise we will be justified in assuming that these intelligent beings do not exist. Let's use an oddly familiar hypothetical example.
Suppose I were to say that there was a teapot in space, fixed in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Also, let's say that I said that this teapot is too small and too far away to be observed by the most powerful of telescopes. Let's say that I am fully confident that this teapot exists, and, therefore, I think you should be, too. After all, the teapot is too far to be seen, but it's there. Furthermore, it's not like you can produce any proof that this teapot is not there, so let's say I think that only an idiot would not believe in this teapot.
Is it there? Of course it is, if I say so, and science would be crazy not to believe that it's not there. Right?
In the same way, let's say that science says that there are intelligent beings out there, as you presume there are. Can they produce any proof that can be widely accepted in society aside from eyewitness evidence and peculiar-shaped objects? Eyewitness evidence and peculiar objects, of course, fall far short from the physical evidence required for science, or for even the general public, to accept it. But the aliens still exist. Right?
In your world, I suppose they do.

In the beginning god created man in his own image, and he saw it was good.
The bible doesn't say on day 23 god became bored and dissatisfied with man so he let man kill and maim each other willy nilly and tried again to get it right on another planet far far away.
The bible story kind of precludes the existence of other intelligent beings, but it doesn't completely rule it out either. Since we are made in god's image and why would god decide that was a bad idea, intelligent aliens it would stand to reason would look just like us. On the other hand maybe aliens are some kind of lesser creatures god created later out of boredom so intelligent or not they would be as to us as the other animals.
As far as all the rest, Adam, Eve, Apple, Snake, Sin, etc... who knows. But if what we believe is true, that we are his most beloved creation, and Christ is his ONLY son, the existence of intelligent aliens becomes a theological problem of "biblical" proportions, because if we got that part of the story wrong, what else of what we believe isn't exactly right either.

The Adam and Eve tale, like most of Genesis, is fiction. There were an original male and female progenitor of the species, but they never saw each other -- they lived 250,000 years apart. There may indeed be thousands of worlds similar to ours, but it is at present unknowable whether life has arisen on any of these. Life seems to have arisen fairly early in the earth's history -- probably within the first few hundred million years of its formation, but the mechanism for this remains a mystery. The notion that God created Jesus to intercede with God on the behalf of sinners is just as silly as it sounds.

LMAO...I LOVE the idea...
Jesus does the whole 3-day resurrection thing, gets back to Heaven...
"Jeesh, that was a tough one. Thought that lot of peaceful pink blobs would NEVER crucify me. Hey Dad, what's for dinner, I'm starving!""
"No dinner for you tonight lad. Got a rush job in. The Vatraklethos of Mirabel 6 have suddenly got their act together, and need to hear me."
"What?! When did that happen? They were crawling about in the slime when I left!"
"That's evolution for you, innit? C'mon, get your halo polished and be off with you."
"Oh but Dad!...Can't I just have a quick bacon sarnie? Thirty-three years I've been without bacon, and now it'll be back on the breastmilk before you can say 'I am the truth, the way and the bloody life...'"
"Move your butt, Junior, some of us have a universe to run you know..."

It doesn't surprise me that there are other worlds. I firmly believe in the Spirit. What I do not believe in is most of what religions tell us. Anything in the universe is possible and we will always question what is happening on the other planets.
There is thoughts that different planets are existing at different levels of understanding. I tend to agree with this. Where we fit into this equation I have no idea but it is interesting to think about.

The story of Adam and Eve is an allegory and not to be taken literally. The real seeding of this planet was by an ancient star race for the purpose of settling an issue that started millions of years ago.

...If these beings are so intelligent, how come they haven't figured out a way to contact us yet?
...A fun fact to know and tell - TV extraterrestrials (aliens from outer space) are always more intelligent than we are, but aren't nearly as good looking.
...As to your real questions, Christ died for people, us. Salvation is available to all who will believe on Him.
...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved. Acts 16:31
...Whosoever will, may come.

One of my ideas is that if we are alone it's a better chance that we sprang to life from a pool filled with chemicals struck by lightning. If there are Thousands it support Devinne creation.. That "accident couldn't have happened over and over again the odds are to overwhelming.... Jim

Actually, from reading Genesis, it appears that God spent more time making the sun, the moon and the earth than he did the rest of the universe. This would indicate that he crafted the solar system to host life and if life is found anywhere else, it is just dumb luck and evolution.
