As a matter of fact, yes, I do have thoughts.

And on this subject, no less.

THIS THROWS THE PROGRESS OF THEOLOGY BACK 200 YEARS.

In this case, it could be an improvement.

200 yrs ago, the possibility of life on other planets was commonly accepted,
and presumably by educated Christians as well.

However, I don't know about what they thought about the salvation of such
extraterrestials. (Would the big word for the topic be 'Exosoteriology'?).
