(Isa. 55:8,9; Rom. 11:33,34) It would have to be based on what He has revealed to us.  Agreed, and we are granted reason to help benefit from these revelations.  Reason allows logical inference.  What is now revealed to us by His grace is that there are, very likely, more stars than the number of grains of sands atop every beach.   Once there was only one sun, then only one Solar system, then only one galaxy.   Now there are likely trillions upon trillions of planets, many in the habitable zone. Is it not reasonable to consider life, per God's plan and glory, to be a possible, if not likely, a result of our latest findings?  I consider such a thought a greater glorfication of the works of God if such is the case.  Gordon wrote:  What has He revealed to us that would enable us to decide whether or not He chose to place beings created in His image elsewhere in the universe?  Agreed, it is still speculative.  But, it is far less speculative than in the past.  Much is being observed that allows much greater plausibility for exoplanetary life.   I see no overwhelming reason to add any constraints upon life in the universe God hath wrought.   How do you see such possibility?
