An extraterrestrial would also be a creature

If extraterrestrial life existed, the first thing to remember would be simple: it would also be a creature. It would not be uncreated, it would not stand above God, nor would it escape his providence. This does not answer every question, but it sets a foundation. Christian faith can look at possible life outside Earth without turning it into a divinity, an absolute threat, or a religious fantasy. Enormous questions would remain: whether they would be rational, whether they would have a soul, how they would relate to God, and what place they would occupy in creation. But all those questions would begin from a basic truth: God is the Creator of all.
