I am a former christian, back then I would have said no God created everything that we seen and that is that. No if, ands or buts about it. but if you really think about it there are billions and billions of other galaxies out there besides our own, so logically it would be safe to assume that there is a good chance that there are some type of other being on a different planet out there somewhere. But I don't sit around and say "yes there is definitely a whole nother solar system with human like intelligence out there."

From the book, "Easy Journey to other planets" by A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Foundr-Acharya of ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness).

Materialistic science may one day finally discover the eternal antimaterial world which has for so long been unknown to the wranglers of gross materialism. Regarding the scientists' present conception of antimatter, the Times of India (Oct. 27, 1959) published the following news release:
Stockholm, Oct. 26, 1959-Two American atomic scientists were awarded the 1959 Nobel Physics Prize today for the discovery of the antiproton, proving that matter exists in two forms—as particles and antiparticles. They are Italian—born Dr. Emillo Segre, 69, and Dr. Owen Chamberlain, born in San Francisco.... According to one of the fundamental assumptions of the new theory, there may exist another world, or an antiworld, built up of antimatter. This antimaterial world would consist of atomic and subatomic particles spinning in reverse orbits to those of the world we know. If these two worlds should ever clash, they would both be annihilated in one blinding flash.
In this statement, the following propositions are put forward:
1. There is an antimaterial atom or particle which is made up of the antiqualities of material atoms.
2. There is another world besides this material world of which we have only limited experience.
3. The antimaterial and material worlds may clash at a certain period and may annihilate one another.
Out of these three items, we, the students of theistic science, can fully agree with items 1 and 2, but we can agree with item 3 only within the limited scientific definition of antimatter. The difficulty lies in the fact that the scientists' conception of antimatter extends only to another variety of material energy, whereas the real antimatter must be entirely antimaterial. Matter as it is constituted is subjected to annihilation, but antimatter—if it is to be free from all material symptoms—must also be free from annihilation, by its very nature. If matter is destructible or separable, antimatter must be indestructible and inseparable. We Shall try to discuss these propositions from the angle of authentic scriptural vision.

Nothing is impossible with God. If He created the angels and the planets and all the universes out there, it's quite possible there are other life forms as well. Maybe they obeyed God from the start and are still living in paradise, not arguing about God because He is also walking with them there as He did in the garden with Adam and Eve before the fall. Who knows?

Our knowledge is limited. As such, we cannot say if life exists on other planets or not. The first verse of the Quran:

1. All Priase to be Allah, the lord of the Worlds. (Chapter 1)

therefore, there amy be many other Worlds, but we don't know.

Not yet, if ever.
Things regarding God's purposes have to be completely squared away, before anything like that could become a reality.

What Is God's Purpose?
- God Does Have a Purpose!
- A Very Good Purpose!
- God's Kingdom of a Thousand Years

I believe in some form of life on other planets, but no idea what, if any, religion they would follow. Come to think of it, I don't even know what "they" are! It seems unlikely there'd be all those other planets in the universe and no other life-forms.

Divisions In Religion Is Only For human Beings... because We Have Free will..
If I Ask You what is the religion of your Pet? is he a Christian? Muslim? HIndu? What?
anything other then Human Is MUSLIM !

Do You Know why?

Because Islam Means Peace (as You all Know)
Islam Also Means "To Submit One`s Will To God Almighty"
and we know all the creatures do the things they are commanded by God..

so in this sense Every Living thing Is Muslim!

If there are other life sources it is my feeling that they were created by God. Genesis 1 shows that God created the heavens and the earth. HEAVENS...space, planets, etc. etc. But..I doubt that there is life other than on earth. Lets not get too wrapped up in what's going on or not going on, way out there. We have more than enough problems right here on good old earth to try and straighten out first.

Well i am muslims and Islam means submission to god....... Anyways, we say abraham, moses, jesus....were muslims since they practiced islam. They them selves would've said they were jewish....if you can get what i'm saying there.

I'm not sure if i believe that life exists on other planets, i don't doubt it or really believe in it, and by the defintion i gave above, i'd say teh believers are muslims. They woudln't practice islam the way its practiced here. They would've had their own prophets...messengers.....way of doing things.

Going bakc to the muslim view....the proper way of practicing religion was they way jews did during the time of moses, then after jesus, the christian way, then after mohammad, the way its done now through islam. SO yeah, i think their practices woudl be entirely different.

I believe in the possibility of life on other planets. Belief in that usually is drawn from science. Since science and religion don't always see eye to eye, then I don't know. I don't think so.
