Looking at the sky on a clear night all the stars light years away wondering how many planets are out there and then back at my feet I remembering the news reports of violence in the world and How religion and some men teach we are the only life in the universe Created by God I now say.
Do you mean this is the best God could do. All the birds fish of the sea insects live in harmony No attempts of genocide of one bird or fish or insect because of your color or facial features.
We can dislike our neighbor because the country they come from. Or their religion,
To the edge of wanting to kill them.

Humans are the most intelligent form of animal. Among the highest form that our intelligence cannot be equated with other forms of higher animals and much more with the lower animals.
Other animals have no capability to acquire the knowledge we have. I believe we are so lucky enough that God had provided us with so much intelligence the mind could perceived based on our sensations. This is the beauty of it we must treasure and protect and make use in all goodness.
Thanks for asking. Have a great day!

If you are looking for an answer in Christian religion, here's one:
St 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."
Also, here:
Hebrews 1:1 & 2
"1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds"
And here:
Hebrews 11:3
"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

If you are looking for an answer in science, unfortunately that one has not been uncovered... yet. But science makes new and astounding discoveries every day, and so we cannot difinitively say that we "know it all" yet, else there would be no more discoveries, since there would be nothing left to discover. I personally believe it would be very arrogant to think we on Earth are the only intelligent life in the universe, somewhat akin to the old belief that the sun revolved around the Earth. That's just human arrogance.
Somewhere out there, among the trillions and trillions of star systems that are capable of supporting life, there must be other worlds where the happy coincidence that created life on this planet has happened before, and will happen again. In fact, in science, this theory is illustrated by the Drake Equation. The odds against such a thing not being true are... well, astronomical. ;)

God hadn't mentioned other creations besides the ones we know on Earth, so as far as we know, we are the only intelligent beings in the universe. However, there is a possibility that there are other beings that God created in the universe that we don't know of for a reason, which are intelligent. Let me add that there are still species not even discovered yet here on Earth.

Your question discusses the beauty and wonder of the universe that God created. It is a marvel that billions of galaxies each containing billions of stars were created from matter the size of the dot at the end of this sentence. Neat trick! But then you question God based on the un-Godly actions of Man. The evils you point out is the product of "unrestricted free will" granted to each of us by God. God's intention is that we would chose to know God, not by force but by our own choice. Free will can and is used for evil as well as good. So please differentiate between that has been provided by the grace of God and that which is done by man as an abuse of God given free will.

the super Bang concept is approximately what befell after the universe grew to become into created. the closest that the super Bang concept gets to the super Bang is one planck time. The call "massive Bang concept" grew to become into created to be derogatory to the thought. the super Bang concept isn't with reference to the super Bang. the super Bang concept is a Belgium Catholic Priest that asked the tremendously valid question, what if each little thing had a single commencing up? each little thing being area, time, be counted and capability, actually each little thing. it is not approximately advent itself, that grew to become into in simple terms assumed to have befell, likewise it is not approximately how the universe grew to become into created, it is not approximately why, it is not approximately what grew to become into there earlier, it is not a pair of singularity inspite of the undeniable fact that a singularity is presumed. All of those are in simple terms undefined interior the thought. The exciting project with reference to the super Bang concept is that each and each assertion we've had confirms it and not something has refuted it. basically Quantum Mechanics has extra helping observations.

No: You (plural) are not intelligent.
I'm sure there is plenty of other stupid life in the Universe that you could relate to though.... and then declare war on.
That assumes you could ever find it though.
The SETI project is an amusing one. It relies heavily on sending out simple signals to space with a comparitively weak transmitter and hoping that a civilization out there with technology well in advance of our own can pick up on it and is actually willing to reply. It is so entirely doomed to failure that I can't help but laugh.
Silly humans... ¬_¬
And let it be known that humans don't do much that other species wouldn't.... besides blaming their actions on imaginary sky-tyrants. You're all just another type of animal.

birds or fish may not kill for arbitrary reasons, but they DO kill, there is no empathy for their fellow animals, no compassion for what they may be going through, just pure selfish survival instinct. if humans behaved in the same way it would be a sad world indeed.
I don't think we are the only intelligent life in the universe. but I do think, at least in our lifetime, we're the only ones we're ever going to meet.
