I thought of something today and wanted to know everyones opinions. I'm not sure about other religions but I do know in Catholicism they teach that god created the Earth and all that inhabit it.

Now the question, if life was found outside of our galaxy life like us humans. Meaning they have the brain power to do anything we can. Would religions here on Earth claim that God Created them to? Did god create all life in every region of every galaxy? Our did god only create life on Earth?

I know not everyone here is Catholic or follows any religion at all, but this question can be answered by each and every single one of you.

I honestly have no idea how the leaders of religions would respond. Thats why I wanted your guys's opinions.

God created everything there is. I am Muslim.
 
Ok how do you think the muslim figurehead would respond to other life being found outside of our galaxy that had equal brain power to us humans?
 
According to the Bible, God literally created everything. That includes other galaxies and everything in it.
 
To strengthen its scientific credentials, the Vatican is organising a conference next year to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of the author of the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin.

Didn't see that coming.

"Among His (God's) signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth,and the living creatures that He has scattered through them :and He has power to gather them together when He wills."Sura 42,Verse 29 (42:29)
pretty self explanatory and if been accused of over analysing so look at it as it is.
"Not one of the beings in the heavens and the earth but must come to (God) Most Gracious as a servant.He does take an account of them (all),and hath numbered them (all) exactly.And everyone of them will come to Him singly on the Day of Judgement.On those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, will (God) Most Gracious bestow love." 19:93-96
this basically means alien life forms will be judged just as we are (intelligent life).
So far,we have learnt from the Quran that extraterrestrial life,inclucing intelligent life, exists throughout countless earths in the universe.But this is not sufficient to satisfy our curiosity.We want scientists to actually discover aliens.Only after we have found incontrovertible scientific evidence that aliens exist,will our (unbelieving) hearts see that the Quran was correct all along.We actually won't be satisfied till we meet an alien face to face.Is there any chance that in the future we will actually discover,through science,the existence of aliens and establish some kind of contact with them or even meet them?
To get some idea on this matter,we must return to Sura 42:29.We are told over there that the scattering of living creatures in the heavens and the earth is a "sign".What is a sign?Sura 6:104 says:
"Momentous signs have come to you from your Lord.He that sees them shall himself have much to gain,but he who is blind to them shall lose much." (48) Sura 6:109,"They solemly swear by Allah that if a sign be given them they would believe in it."
"Soon we will show them Our Signs in the (furthest) regions,and in their own souls,until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth" (41:53). (51) THERFORE,SURA 42:29 CONTAINS A PROPHESY THAT A TIME WILL INDEED COME IN THE FUTUTE WHEN HUMANS WILL DISCOVER ALIENS.
"Praise be to Allah,Lord of the Worlds." self explanatory i hope.
Who would be more superior- the unbelieving human or the faithful alien?The answer is obvious.Therefore,what's the use of debating this point?Status of a creature is relative to its moral conduct.Sura 95:4-5 states, "Surely We created man of the best stature,then We reduced him to the lowest of the low."
mmm yeah if aliens do come into exsistance islam shouldnt have reason to argue or be worried.
