"Therefore it must not be imagined that Christ died and was resurrected
more
often, nor must it be thought that in any other world without the knowledge
of the Son of God, that men would be restored to eternal life."

I take this objection quite seriously, as I do the theological (not the
scientific) objections to evolution that YECs make. I do think this is up
to God, whether or not to make other creatures in communion with God, and
whether or not to redeem them if necessary. This does seem to be a case of
idolatrous reason erecting a doctrine that goes well past the Bible. But
I'd like to hear from George Murphy (and anyone else) on this one.

My Reply:

If C.S. Lewis's Narnia and Space Trilogy books are any indication of his
general views on this point, one would have to admit that he did not have a
problem with the notion that God might repeat redemptive acts and other
form of communication with other realms of his creation. I doubt that he
would have written these stories if he had a major hangup with this
possibility.
