If there is extraterrestrial life--in the way the article is referring to--that life would end at the end. Such extraterrestrials, if intelligent, would not have souls. God died for Mankind, and by God becoming human Mankind was given a way to salvation (kinsman redeemer).

Couple of points here.

First of all, if there is extra terrestrial life, it doesn't automatically mean intelligent life. In fact, if life is as common as some think it is, I'd imagine lower forms would be far more common than sentient ones.

Secondly, if we did encounter sentient lifeforms, I think we'd do well to assume that they did have souls. Because if we assumed they didn't and we were wrong, we open the door, at minimum, to not telling them the Truth as we've received it. But we also open the door to unspeakable atrocities. It's easy to turn a blind eye to the suffering of a person whom you don't believe has a soul. See Roe v Wade.

Bravo.  Darned good point.

Makes me curious about the "talking" bonobos, Kanzi and Panbanisha. At what point, if ever, does your point apply to semi sapience. 

Not trying to stir stuff...   They are monkeys (Pygmy Chimps), and barely more than trained  animals as is.

Really curious as to what we do if ever we end up with a bonobo "Monkey" ;-) Angelo that/who has a human type free will and an IQ of 65 or 70 or even 90.

It is purely hypothetical.

It makes me wonder where and if our responsibility based upon comparative intelect would lay.
