The God I worship is quite capable of creating, and loving, redeeming creatures every bit as wondrous as humans on a planet (or planets!) surrounding every star of the 100 billion in this galaxy and every one of the other 100 billion plus galaxies, too.
I agree, and I can’t understand how learning MORE about the vastness of Creation diminishes God in the minds of so many. The bigger, more incredible and wondrous the Universe and all that is in it, the greater and more miraculous is it’s Creator! Making ONE race of beings is acceptable for an Almighty Creator, but making billions of beings isn’t? We shouldn’t project our limitations-not to mention narcissistic need to be the center of everything- on God.
Hmmmmm ..?? The GOD I worship, created ALL humans in HIS image .. I guess that leaves out whatever weird creatures you find on your new planets.
Oh yes, Rush did mention that there is some sort of weird movie coming out .. may include a new group of planets.
Leave it to the Hollywood people .. they only create junk.
There may be planets with creatures who never fell, thus never needed redemption. C. S. Lewis wrote about that in his Space Trilogy.
