Yes, Bruno got burned at the stake for saying, not only that the earth was not the immovable center of the universe, but that other stars had other planets with life and that God would have to send an ‘alien Jesus’ to those planets for their spiritual redemption.

Now that you say it that way, it does seem a bit odd that gazillions of planets would have Adams and Eves that behaved exactly the same way.

But what really got the Church knickers into a twist was that Bruno thought some worlds would fail to disobey God and not be expelled from the garden, precluding the need for an ‘alien Jesus’.

No sin == No Jesus.
