What are the Christian views on extraterrestrials

Sounds a bit like Lewis, actually.

To be fair, Lewis’s Space Trilogy only touched on three planets, in our singular solar system. “We’re the worst of these three” is a lot less extreme than “we’re the worst of all of the zillions of everything in the entire Universe”.

Of course!

Damn, I haven’t seen that episode and thought you used AI for this picture, but with Google lens I found out that it’s a real still from a Futurama episode and has become a meme. I should be a writer for the series!

It seems like the whole debate is twisted by the statement in the Bible that Jesus was God’s only begotten son

I know a guy who only begat one son.

And two daughters.

Plenty of people have suggested that a ‘separate incarnation or a second sacrifice of Christ’ would be necessary, or desirable. The universe might be full of Jesus-analogs, administering to crab-people, spider-people, octopoids, bee-hives, and so on, as Olaf Stapledon suggested

The OP asks for Christian views. I don’t think Stapledon was a Christian, was he?

“So did all you guys have Jesus?”
“Who?”
“You know, Jesus, the son of God who appeared among us to redeem us from our fall.”
“What fall?”
“You know, when God commanded Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit and they did and God cast them out of Eden. So God sent Jesus to redeem us.”
“Wait… you guys ate the fruit… after God specifically told you not to…”

And of course about four Santa Clauses.
