If all the events in the Bible happened here on Earth. Beings on other planets would have no knowledge of the Bible or any other religion even though we consider it to be universal. Who do they worship or what religion do they practice. I'm taking inot consideration that there are billions and billions of stars with billions and billions of planets in the universe, so odds are we are not alone considering that all it really takes is water to sustain life.

Centuries ago, Giordano Bruno, a monk, said that maybe there are other planets out there. If there are, it's possible that there are different kinds of intelligent beings on them. And maybe, just maybe, they each have their own concept of what religion is about. And what the true church is. Maybe they each have their own saviors.
Wow.
Ouch.
That was too much for the fundies of the time. They tied him to a stake and burned him alive. Wonderful, wonderful Christianity. Always ready to enforce orthodox beliefs with murderous violence. The fundies in America would enforce their weird beleifs on the rest of us if they could. Thank God freethinking and Humanist ideas are still around as they have been since the Founders. Hopefully someday soon more and more Americans will realize how totally out of touch the absurb fundies are, and ignore them.

John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
So maybe the other sheep are on some planet (or lots of other planets) that we don't know about. The same God and the same Saviour but different "Bibles" because the stories would be different but with the same happy (for the saved) ending. And I failed science a couple of times but I'm pretty sure there's more to life than just water. Something in there about carbon, light, oxygen, and coffee.

Actually a very interesting question. I'd venture each 'alien race' would have a similar makeup of beliefs as we do on Earth... meaning, a variety of religions. Of course, there will also be the atheist aliens (say that ten times fast).

Well I know the beings of Tau Ceti 7 worship the Great Parsnip of Ixtar 9, but as for the others......well I just don't know.

Depends on their level of civilization really. If aliens did have a religion it'd be so vastly different then anything we have on earth, I suspect their Gods would look like them. And who knows, the aliens might be Atheists.

How would anyone know what aliens worship? Any answer would be pure speculation, especially when you consider that there is no proof that aliens even exist, let alone what they are like.

So say you ! If there are other human-inhabited planets and, I know there are seven of them then, God's messengers would have gone there too to reveal to them God's truth. If you believe in One God, then they can only believe and adore, Him, wherever they may be !

Depends on their karma. There are realms where sentient beings have the delicious karma to be able to practice the Dharma all the time, etc.
