“And if there’s life on other planets,
Then I’m sure that he must know,
And He’s been there once already,
And has died to save their souls”
- Larry Norman.
Don’t actually have an opinion on life on other planets, or how such a hypothetical lifeform would interact with the Creator of the universe.
Nothing in the Bible explicitly rules out such a thing.
On a more rational point — it makes no rational sense to think we will find intelligent life.
Because: Suppose there is at least one other intelligent lifeform. Then, you’d have to postulate that there were thousands. The chances that we would be the most advanced of thousands is extremely small.
Which means some other intelligent life is way ahead of us. They would have discovered us by now. And, if they are way ahead of us, and discovered us, they would have communicated to us, just as we would have to them. But we’ve heard nothing.
Or, they would have destroyed us. But we are still here.
The chances of their being one intelligent lifeform evolved from nothing is exceedingly small. The chances of us being the most advanced is much more exceedingly small, if there are any others.
Which means some other intelligent life is way ahead of us. They would have discovered us by now. And, if they are way ahead of us, and discovered us, they would have communicated to us, just as we would have to them. But we’ve heard nothing.
Maybe they have discovered us and just aren’t interested. Do you try to communicate with ants? Or a bacterium? That may be how they perceive us. In 1977 the “Wow! Signal” was detected, and there is still no adequate non-ET explanation for it, despite 37 years of advances in science and technology since then.

Reagan to the UN in 1987 - “In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world”
Libs laughed at that and said it was the meanderings of a senile, old man. Then again, maybe he was hinting at something the govt knows without coming straight out and saying it.
