Alien Life and the Creator: E.T. meets J.C.
Quite a perplexing scenario! We of course have several million questions! Assuming that our Creator is real, I would think that He deals with each type of life that He has created in a manner unique to the issues. Humans needed salvation due to the first freely yet wrongly chosen option. Dolphins, on the other hand, either have no problem accepting the Creator or have no awareness of Him. I suspect the former. No, I have no proof of any of this==it is all speculation. As for other galaxies, I would believe that God is big enough to deal with all universal life and is the Creator of such life. Along gthese same lines of thought, what happens hypothetically on this planet once Jesus returns and all have had their choice?
Another level of responsibility and relationship with God, perhaps.
One more sidenote: As for the book,(Bible) if and when we take it literally, we must realize that He wants us to take it to heart literally and not intellectually. Case in point: Pharisees tell Jesus that He breaks the law by healing on Sabbath. Jesus points out that they may be correct intellectually, yet deficient internally(in the heart.) Thus...as for God relating to the universe...I say...what would the universal Love and Truth of such a reality be? Not so much what the exact method of logic and application.
