The universe is a vast place. So, why would God create such vastness and only put intelligent life on our tiny, blue planet? Conventional wisdom has it that if alien lifeforms were ever discovered somewhere in the universe - and especially intelligent extraterrestrial beings - that this would prove the Bible is false and that God does not exist. But this is simply not true, as it assumes several things. Of course, the question of life elsewhere is currently one of great speculation and is currently without proof. However, IF this ever turned out to be true, there are several possibilities, from a Christian perspective, as to how God might deal with intelligent, alien creatures. Of course, this is one huge IF, as presently we have no evidence of any alien life on other planets (or even of very simple lifeforms). And, of course, the Bible is silent upon this topic. But, as one ponders whether or not God MIGHT have placed intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, there are some interesting possibilities and speculations about the subject - see here as Hugh Ross' Reasons.org notes the various possibilities and theological questions concerning possible intelligent alien life: https://reasons.org/explore/blogs/impac ... ristianity
