How do you see life on other planets fits in with Creation? For lib Christians I know it won't be a problem.
The Bible is entirely silent on the issue of life on other planets. Please tell me how I'm wrong.
Well, there are ways to read the text. Earth might mean all planets in the Hubble volume. Many mansions might refer to other planets with Christian societies. It's a lot of interpretation, but we can't possibly know without going out there and checking it out and then referring to the text again. If life is found, and I assume it will be, it will not bother anyone very much. In fact, it will be a hot topic around dinner tables for a couple days. That's about it. Old sermons will have to be slightly rewritten, which ought to be done more often anyway.
Not to mention you would have a hard time explaining to me why if there is water on Mars and they find microbe life on it why hasn't anything evolved from that? While life on earth has sprouted into millions of different creatures.
Us: The angels? The animals? Or perhaps other intelligent life in the universe?
I might opt for the latter, as rare as I think it is.
