Ummm...As to "why," asking God "why" He does things is a fool's game, as Job learned. Presumably God might make other intelligent beings for the same reason He made us.
With regard to why He didn't tell us about having populated other planets, why should He have told us anything? Was He obligated to? Is it possible that you might stand before God one day and say "God, you made real live Tralfamadorians and you didn't tell us! That's not fair!"
The Lord doesn't owe us insight on this matter. For that matter, He doesn't owe us our next breath. Perhaps he did populate other planets with other beings, just as he populated the earth with us. On the other hand, maybe He didn't. Either way, the prerogative and the power to do so are all His. He is not bound by our extrapolations from Scripture.
Excellent points.
It seems to puny me . . .
that it's exceedingly plausible . . . given . . .
1. that God has been busy about the rearing, training, purifying . . . of "rulers and reigners with Christ" . . .
2. All Creation earnestly waits yearingingly groaning in expectation and ?hope? for the manifestation of the sons of God . . .
why wouldn't 90 or so purported races of ET's Scriptural: "WATCHERS" be interested in observing the climax of history as we've known it into the GRADUATION events related to the installment of said "rulers and reigners" over said other planet critters?
I'd be interested in the traning program and goings ons related to my future bosses!
Of course, God has them on a short tether vis a vis their dinking around with us here.
I don't know what percentage of said ET critters are simply fallen angels/demonic forces 100% in satan's control and employ; what percentage are bona fide ET's, WATCHERS merely sucked into satan's influence and manipulations toward aiding his END TIMES efforts . . .
But clearly, God has it ALL in His hands for working out HIS purposes with ALL of HIS CREATION. And that's more than pretty good alright 100% fine with me.
How many times have you read the bible? Please be honest.
