This is an interesting thought that popped into my head. Of all the planets and solar systems out in that vast space, is it possible that God created other worlds with people like us or similar to us and maybe creating new worlds everyday, and repeating the Creationism thing every single day?

It's so weird and cool to think that there are other worlds may have God have created.

I mean, we're here... Why wouldn't there be other people?

Is there other life in the solar system, I think so yes. Nothing to prove that fact, but the probablity is there.

Did a God create them, maybe, but again, there is no proof of such an assertion.

The probability of there being intelligent life on another planet is pretty damned good. The probability of it being a 'god' that put them there approaches zero so closely that it might as well be zero.

I would dispute the "intelligent" part... Look how long earth took to get an intelligent creature... and that may have been a fluke.

Do the math for yourself. *shrug* Just for sake of being generous, call it...life on one in a million habitable planets...and sentient life on one in a million of those.

The planets are inhabited

The planets of our solar system are inhabited with intelligent people who worship God the Creator Who sent them some apostles out of themselves to teach them there is no god but God alone without associate or equal.

This is with the exception of Mercury and Venus on which life once existed, now has been exterminated.

All this was written by the late interpreter of the Quran and the Bible: Mohammed Ali Hassan al-Hilly at 1947 in his book: The Universe and the Quran, and in the later versions.

I have translated this book, which I shall display on the web as soon as possible. This book has also been published in Beirut by al-ilmiyah www.al-ilmiyah.com

the final holy book from Allah is the quran and the final messenger from Allah is Muhammed Peace & blessing of Allah be upon Him
and his message was reached to us and to the jinn
and they are more Intelligent than human and they can fly to any planet and they can be invisible and they can see us and we can not see them

but some animals can see them such as wolf
and i believe that there are no other people than us and them

more than likely, are they similar to humans? possibly in some solar systems.

life can be interpreted as an accident. a planet must be a certain distance from it's sun etc for life as we define it to evolve or would appear similar to us and the planet must be composed of the same or similar elements which is also likely considering the vast universe. our lives are so fragile. what is most interesting is there are lifeforms which are much hardier than us that can survive extreme conditions or temperatures and even anaerobic. we are not.

even the human species is an accident since if it were not for the extinction of other life, we may not have progressed this far.

another thing to consider is we tend to think in terms of our own timeline but there may have been other species in other galaxies that have already evolved even to advanced technology and have already become extinct. their sun and planet already died and gone and we would never know it.

Sure, I've considered that. I don't know if I've considered that he did a literal "Creationism" somewhere else, but I guess I can't rule it out. It would be intriguing to find a world with intelligent beings that was created by God within the last 6,000 years when our world and us took billions of years. I wonder what such a discovery would say?

C. S. Lewis sometimes seemed to indicate that if God created other worlds many of them are likely better than us. In fact part of why he disliked conventional science fiction is he feared mankind could spread degenerate/fallen ways to beings living in idyllic innocence. (Although slightly different starting in the late 1950s some on the Left started writing stories expressing concern that the "conquest of space" was just another form of imperialism with the same abuses that befell many indigenous peoples)
