If there are intelligent beings on other planets, then they would have been affected by the fall of Adam because the whole creation was affected (Romans 8:22). So, these beings would have to die because death is the penalty for sin. One day their planet will be destroyed during God’s final judgment, but they cannot have salvation because that blessing is given only to humans. If intelligent beings lived on other planets, they would suffer because of Adam’s sin but would have no opportunity to be saved through Christ’s sacrifice.
When Jesus Christ stepped into history, he became the God-man. The Bible calls him “the last Adam” and the “second man” (1 Corinthians 15:45, 47). He became the second perfect man (Adam was perfect before he sinned), and he took the place of the first Adam by dying for the human race. As the first Adam was the representative head of the human race, so Jesus became the new head, the last Adam. So, there can be no other Savior, only Christ. Jesus now sits in the heavens, still in human form, on his throne next to the Father. If Jesus stepped out of his human form, we would no longer have a Savior. He remains the God-man forever. But note, Jesus didn’t become a “God-Klingon,” a “God-Vulcan,” or a “God-Cardassian”—he became the God-man.
It wouldn’t make sense theologically for there to be other intelligent, physical beings who suffer because of Adam’s sin but cannot be saved. So, my point is that I don’t believe in aliens.

There is No Way In Hell We are the only sentient life in the Universe. BTW the Klingons k**led their gods and the Vulcans follow the logic and eschew emotions as taught by Surak. The Cardassians I am not sure of. what their religious views. Not all UAP or UFO's are explainable by our current science.
