This is what I believe too and for the simple matter that God does not duplicate His creation. Everything single thing He has created is unique. There are no other beings created in His image. We are special to Him. There is the spiritual realm and the material realm. End of.
You’re going to be in for a surprise one day.
Why would God be limited to an image that looks like us?
Why would God be limited to images we can even perceive?
Why would God feel compelled to try to explain to primitive peoples anything beyond their comprehension?

Of course, there is that intriguing statement in John 10:16. I don’t pretend to know what it means for certain.
We are now up to two trillion galaxies. That is staggering. And we know its even more than that.
No one would like to move to Mars more than me, okay maybe Elon.
Its becoming clear to me that we (humans made in the image of the Holy God of the Bible) do not have authority outside of this Earth which he has given to us.
Can we hurl our bodies out there and get to the Moon, Mars, sure, even Titan and the asteroid belt. After that it gets a bit dodgy with timelines. Even a solar Zeppelin craft hovering in the atmosphere of Venus at a permanent 68 degrees is possible. A cave on the South Pole of the Moon with a crater filled with frozen comet water nearby, sure. That should be our goal right now.
Earth has protective shielding, we would need to take everything with us. Enough for a single person is difficult, for a colony it is significant.
Sure lets keep planning. I’m not opposed to going.
Gravity and the effect on our eyeballs after a long trip may be impactful. Heart damage like the Apollo astronauts experienced? And we wont be able to walk after we spend nine months traveling to Mars in zero G. We will need artificial everything just to live, not thrive.
The radiation protection by Earths magnetic field will be gone. We will have to take everything, oxygen, warmth, power, water, food, radiation shielding, everything. Hopefully even weak gravity spinning in a huge craft. And God protect us if even a garden sized rock impacts our craft moving at 1/10th the speed of light.
I believe this is why we see UAPs/UFOs in space, from Zechariah 5:1–4, a flying scroll measuring 20 by 10 cubits (about 30 feet long and 15 feet wide). Representing God’s judgment and curse of the law going out before us. How far can we take our fallen nature out into the void?
You could be right of course, but there are millions of different lifeforms on earth, not just one. Of course, we're at the top but God created many different lifeforms on earth so I'm open to the possibility that there are others out there, not that we're anywhere close to being able to visit them and maybe never will be.
