Since I have not been to nor have I received communications from or about life on other planets, I cannot intelligently respond to your first question. According to the Bible, Christ died to save us all. If you would allow a little speculation on my part, however, PERHAPS Carl Sagan was right when he said that if there is no life on other planets throughout the universe, what a terrible waste of space!

Could it be that we, that is mankind, will eventually move out into and occupy all that space as we discover and then populate planet after planet, as we "boldly go where no one has gone before." Matthew 24:31 does say that the angels will gather God's elect "from one end of heaven to the other."

Just speculating, mind you, but in eternity, we humans have been here a very short time; and in eternity, another billion centuries will still be a very short time. PERHAPS there is still time for US to fill a lot of that "terrible waste of space" Carl Sagan mentioned. As we move from dying planet to new planet throughout whatever time we have left, we will spread the gospel of Christ who died on the cross on Earth for the sins of all mankind, "from one end of heaven to the other."

By the way, when we still believed the world was flat (not me, personally), we had no idea that one day we would carry the gospel to someone on this side of the world, did we?

"Live long, and prosper."

Christ died on earth about 2000 years ago. As far as intelligent life in others parts of the universe, none has been found as of yet. God's revelation says nothing of other worlds either way.
Anything is possible but the conditions necessary for life as we know it are pretty rare, even in such a vast universe that we find ourselves in.

there is a parallel to this question already in history. it was argued that if the earth was spherical and people inhabited the antipodes (southern hemisphere) they would not know of christ, and this could be a problem for the supposed universality of the sacrifice. apparently most people have forgotten that this was ever a problem these days due to all that aggressive missionary work. obviously the christians' next great missionary work should be to set up a big radio beacon and beam the bible to the stars.

Actually I've thought about this too. Billy Graham I was told said something like, earth is the one place that sinned. I don't know if he really said this or not. In some ways it does not matter. I along with everyone else will some day stand before God.

I have asked that question as well. But, I never get an answer.

Also, is the god/gods of those intelligent beings the same christian god we have here?

If not, are they friends with each other... "Gods Club of the Universe" or something...

Or are they aware of each other's existence?

So many questions, no answers.

All other worlds had a tree of knowledge of good and evil. We were the only world that ate the fruit.

I have thought about this, and if there is I think it would come down to this. Did their version of Adam and Eve fall in the garden?

Until the life is found and we ask, we will never know.
