No where has God said there were no other people/beings in the Universe. There was one verse where Jesus said "And I have sheep in other folds" Jesus usually called the people of Earth his sheep/fold. That would be an interesting subject. Would they also have a devil or anything else humans have plaguing them? What do you think?Hubble photo of deep space showing a small portion of the galaxiesHubble showing another field of galaxies, 2nd of hundreds

Atheists will be removed - I want to hear from Christians only
Not sure what you intend to be the convincing point. The universe is vast, that does in no way automatically equate to there having to be other life forms.
God is the creator of the Universe, it is a testimony to his greatness, glory and immortality, his inexorable wisdom and unfathomable depth of being. The stars for example, were made to showcase his glory and to be "signs for humans", as the Bible says. Such as navigating the seas by constellations. Other beliefs would directly worship stars, the created, instead of God, the creator, like a gamer praising a game in itself and denying the developer even acknowledge of existence. The Bible speaks of this as well in Romans, of how God saw how mankind blinded themselves praising dead things like mountains and forests, stars and the sun, and so he "surrendered" them to their blind ways. "They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen." - Romans 1:25
Could God have created other worlds with other life forms? He *could* but doubtful that he would. There isn't anything in the Bible supporting it. Reply

I practice a Christian faith and I do think it is possible that there are various forms of extraterrestrial life forms out there. However, I do think life is rare in the universe. That’s why Earth is the only planet in this solar system that holds diverse life forms on the surface.
In regards to all those “close encounters with the third kind”, I think they are probably both Angels and fallen angels mistaken for aliens. It’s also been claimed by some of these people that calling out to Jesus for help actually prevented people from being abducted by the “aliens”, heavily implying that those specific “aliens” are actually demons posing as “aliens”.

Not a Christian but still deeply theistic, though I used to be Catholic. I find it’s far more likely that there is other life, maybe even human like, on other worlds.

To showcase the depth of His majesty and eternal nature, all of creation is a testimony to God in different ways. I still don't see what your point is there. There isn't any actual argument scripture-based or otherwise as to the existence of other life forms, you're just asking "why do galaxies exist", rhetorically.
No, there isn't. And yes, it would be. But you can't build a notion of "isn't it so clear it's like this" based on, "nothing says it isn't so". The burden of proof is on you. If you want to speculate or even believe this might be the case, that is one thing, and that's between you and God. But it's another to claim it's almost obvious based on no proof nor indication but merely on an opinion.

Actually, that's the ultra deep field- they pointed the Hubble at the darkest section of the sky (well, space) and left the lens open for six months, and BAM! Another ten thousand GALAXIES.
Anyway, it's actually not that new of an idea- Pope Francis said years ago he'd happily baptize aliens, if they asked, and Giordano Bruno himself theorized that other stars are actually suns, which might have planets, which might have people living on them, way back in the sixteenth century (contrary to popular opinion, it wasn't this that got him burned at the stake, though it certainly didn't help his reputation).
Also, as I recall, there were a Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal comic about this: a typical alien talking to a human, saying "Oh, yeah, He comes by every two weeks or so. We gave Him a big box of chocolates when He first arrived. Why? What did you do?", with the caption "The good news is, we found out that Jesus is worshiped on other planets".

I can't say ther ar not other "people" on other place of the univers. But i will think they belive in a diferent way, because it will be a direfet world ther and God love to create things so maby he will create other people ther whit diferent fate and behaviors then us whitch will make them to know if it's the right way for them or not. Jesus tell us the forgivnes is our way. Who know what it will be for others?

What evidence do you have that Jesus said any of that?

The Bible says that stars are just lights on the nightsky, nothing more and nothing less. So yeah, of course I can look at that and clearly see that the only life around me is on the earth.
