“Well, Is there life in outer space?” His reply was there mathematically had to be. Not only did it have to exist but millions of times over.

The math on this seems to have changed. This is directly addressed through the Drake equation.

Also relevant is the anthropic principle that the universe has been fine-tuned to permit our existence. The leading secular position seems to be that there must be an infinite number of universes, and that we hit the cosmic jackpot. The intelligent design position is that our good fortune is not fortune at all, but God’s great design. You are free to choose what to believe, which, I think, was the whole idea.

If there was other intelligent life out there....would they not have the same creator / God. I do struggle with this question. I think YES but it does seem to go against some of the Bible. The Bible itself is against it but talks of it also like it exists.
