I have sent this out before, but from a theological perspective this is most interesting! The James Webb telescope has found lights on the night side of a planet orbiting a distant star! This would indicate a civilization at least as far along as ours in the early part of the 20th Century. Could intelligent life be widespread in the universe? I would find it most interesting if some pastors would address this issue from their pulpits!
What might such critters living on a very distant planet look like? Like us? Or something we would consider "monsters"? And what about "salvation" for them to gain eternal life when their mortal life is over? Jesus died on the cross for us humans here on earth.
Well, most fascinating questions!
