Well, a Father Funes says this.. says that just as there is multiple types of life on earth, so there could exist intelligent beings in outer space created by God. He believes some aliens could be free from "original sin" which I would call imperfection, a result of having choice. To me, it seems unlikely as it seems any thinking creature is bound to become imperfect in some way, being bound to choose something sooner or later which differs from what God/Perfection/Life chooses.. unless they are robots or forever very small children.. But! then again, maybe they've learned the lesson we are, and have graduated! I guess I do believe in more or less perfect extra terrestrials! As I believe in angels! Which I also think of as extra terrestrial entities! (Some of them the fallen/wicked ones!) - Any thoughts?

I have to refer to what the Bible says to answer this discussion...In the Bible God said that he had a people that was not of this fold..That tells me that it is very possible this could be true...I cannot be sure but this scripture certainly sounds that it could be true...

i believe there must be life elsewhere in the universe for does not christ tell us John 10: 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. )

Good point! I've always thought maybe this is the Jews and the Gentiles.. Either way I'm sure God had/has plans for the rest of the universe and not just tiny earth!
