The bible of the Jews, Christians and Muslims clearly states that God
made the earth and the heavens and then placed His image and likeness
into the Garden of Eden -- mankind.  It says nothing about supposed
other planets and unearthly peoples, and clearly states that the earth
is God's focus in all matters of creation, sin and redemption.

What if people existed on other planets?  What of their own creation
and status with God?  Are they still unfallen and living immortal
lives in an Eden?

The answer is that all of this would be a paradox, and God doesn't
operate from within a paradox.  Therefore, there can be no other
people of God in the universe, and SETI is a blasphemous activity
intended to divert God's people from the truth and therefore their own
redemption and self-understanding.

It is an activity of Satan and is to be abhorred as a creation of the
Prince of Lies.

In these final days, you must not fall into the godless trap of
SETI@HOME lest you lose your own soul.  Heed these words in the wisdom
of the Spirit and walk with God.

Religious thinkers have filled the web with pages warning about the
godless nature of SETI.  The URLs below represent a tiny fraction of
the outcry which is being raised.  Heed them:

Seti@home and Satan's hidden agenda have been dramatized in a new
movie called "Deceived" (http://www.deceived-themovie.com).  Even
Hollywood is starting to see the possible Satanic nature of S@H.

Be afraid for your very soul if you think that S@H is a noble effort.
It is a tool of the Dark One, and you are being ensnared.

Instead, I urge you to join the God fearing and to discard your work
units so that you may walk in the path of righteousness.

Chill Man! God created the Universe and all that is in it. You sound like
the old "the earth is the center of the universe" folks back in 1310. Life
is not all gloom and doom. Jesus himself said not to put burdens on people
that they cant bear.

Luke 11:46 And he (Jesus) said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade
men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the
burdens with one of your fingers.

John 10:16 (various versions)
10:16 "And I have other sheep that ye know not of"

10:16 "And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I
must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold,
and one shepherd."

Do you think that God limited Himself to just this one planet? If so, why
make the entire Universe? 
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth

Paul:
1:16  For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are
in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or
principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
1:17  And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Why don't we open our eyes and see what God has set before us? eh?
