Well yes, even if there are hundreds of billions of inhabited worlds - who is to say how common the development of intelligent life is?

It took a few billion years and a few mass wipe outs of life before conditions were favorable for the rise of (semi)intelligent life here on Earth.

I think, if and when ETs are definitely proved to be real, most of Cristianity will adjust to it.

I totally agree, of course

Doubtless ...

Do you agree that it seems a bit fatuous to constantly harp on fraud, waste and abuse in DOD when there are whole departments that are 100% fraud, waste and abuse?

I think the Christians’ rabbi died only for the Klingons around Uranus!

C. S. Lewis’ Space Trilogy was about something like this. Not so much Jesus dying for non-terrestrial life (that was, at least for this solar system’s purpose, only an earth thing), but about how Jesus might relate to life on the other planets.

True. But the muslims will have an easier time adjusting.

They'll just expand jihad to a new frontier.

Giordano Bruno, 1548-1600, figured that there must be many more inhabited worlds than this one, and that there must be a pathway to salvation offered up to any that had the intelligence to recieve it - thus many billions of Christs to offer salvation to many billions of worlds. He was burned at the stake for heresy.

He was burned at the stake for the heretical beliefs of "Multiple Christs" and "infinite universe". All Christians have always held to the belief that there was one Christ that died for ALL.

In addition to $1.5 billion being spent on a plan to invent roll-up beef jerky

I'm trying wrap my head around the idea...it takes 1.5 billion to do someone any beef jerky company can do for 1 % of the cost...

...and why do you need roll up beef jerky in the first place...?

It’s actually 1.5 Million, not Billion, but who’s counting?
