Life on other planets in other Solar Systems and Galaxies??? Maybe, Maybe not.
While no one can be totally demonstrative on this subject, we can make a few observations with some degree of intelligence.
Hebrews expressly tell us that Jesus is the complete atonement for ALL sin. He has reconciled the entire cosmos back to God. He is the complete Atonement for EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING. With this in mind let's discuss life on other planets.
It is possible that God created life , just like life we have here on this earth, on other planets in other galaxies in other solar systems. Possible.
( Aliens from outer Space is a totally different subject.)
IF, and this is a big if, God created life as we know it on this earth on other planets, I believe He did so AFTER Adam and Eve's creation on this earth.
After the "fall". After the "original" sin.. After the atonement. After the salvation of the entire cosmos.
If this is so, then these people would have no need for 'another' atonement since Jesus' life, death, resurrection and asension covered ALL things. Those people too.
They could be living out what God intended for Adam and Eve to accept originally.
The Tree of life. Life. Eternal life.
Again, if this is possibly true, then I believe it would have occurred AFTER Adams's sin and After Jesus life , death, and resurrection and ascension to the Father.
So, there are many philosophyical and Theological implications to this question and I do NOT pretend to know the answer.
What do you think. Post your comments. If you wish.

Synchronistically, I just bought "The Eerie Silence," a new book by Paul Davies, a physicist who writes in layman's terms and is not afraid to express himself theologically. The book rethinks the issue of alien life and intelligence. I'm looking forward to reading it, and I'm glad to find you are interested in the subject.
