Why?
lain: Why are you asking why?
Isn't that clear? I want to know why Nick thinks Adam's sin affected life on a different planet.
Why do you want to know that?

life potential.........

I see it as probable and inevitable that the universe is filled with life, there being millions of inhabitable planets, in the myriad universes and galaxies that stretch out across the vast reaches of space, especially when we consider the infinite potential of Creation itself.
See Extraterrestrial Theology
The Urantia Papers expand a universe-cosmology that includes such, 'God' being the First Source and Center, emenating forth 7 superuniverses, with thousands of universes within. The inhabited worlds therein are at various stages of development, all advancing along the ordained path of eternal progress and perfection. If God is a living Being of spiritual intelligence, energy, light, personality, will, infinite nature and potential,.....then the creativity of consciousness has no beginning or end.
Since 'God' is Infinite Spirit and a Universal Mind with no bounderies or limits, implications of life on other planets would be natural to the order of all life everywhere, unfolding its potential in every form and dimension possible, Life being a spiritual adventure with no end. Sentient beings on other planets would be following along the same universal laws and principles that support life everywhere, yet each planet, race, culture, community would naturally have its own distinctions and differences inherent to its own development and conditioning. We see this diversity even on our own planet with its various cultures, language, religious myths/traditions, etc.

Yep, the spiritual implication would be that God created them.

There is no reason to assume this.
Life on other worlds would be subject to the evolutionary development, environmental conditions of its own life processes and culture. How would Adam (and his actions) assumed to have happened here on this planet have anything to do with other worlds or even affect other planets?
It seems presumptuous to assume the religious 'mythology' and 'presuppositional beliefs' of one planet's religious culture applies to other planets when their history, culture and environmental conditioning would be naturally different, such 'diversity' allowed within the laws of divine providence.
The implication here would be that while the source and means of salvation/enlightenment/liberation is 'essentially' the same for all worlds (there being One Source),...the way such is 'conducted' or 'mediated' may vary among each inhabited planet.

If there is life on other planets then they have a great difficuty in surviving.

You been following Swedenberg who talked to men on Mars and also saw people walking together that did not realize that they were dead.

Flipper was predestined for God's porpoise.
Yep. They are stupid and get caught in tuna nets and turn into pieces of my sandwich. :TomO:
Kmo, the whole of creation suffers from the fall. You need to pay more attention in Paul's letters.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
Guyver is a classic example of saying..."it doesn't really mean what it says'.
Deleted response. No need to call names that classify ones intelligence as way below average.
So then you retract your throw away insult that was inaccurate on its self? I said the whole creation, you said nuh-uh. And now you know the creation is subject also. Not just people. Everything in the universe.

What is the spiritual implication of a cow in a pasture?
What would be the spiritual implications of cow-like life on other planets?
I like this question...
If a flying saucer landed and humanoid aliens emerged from it, what would be the spiritual implications then?
:think:
For me, I'd immediately wonder if the fiery chariot that took Elijah up into the clouds was just a primitive man's perception of flying saucer.

No doubt!
No, you're just trying to save face because what you said at first was so stupid.
Whatever.
If there is one thing that God demonstrates to everyone it's cause and effect. This is clearly seen both in scripture, in the universe, and in the laws of physics which describe it. There is no effect without a cause.
You're trying to say that Adam's cause would effect someone, or a theoretical race of beings completely unrelated to him, living in another solar system. Nonsense.
The creation spoken of in the scriputre is specifically addressing this world Nick.
Think outside the box for a change.
PS. Who gives a rip anyway? There is no proof that there is intelligent life anywhere in the entire universe except for one place....here.
