The only thought I had was that if one could show that God only made men in his image, then since rationality is part of God's immage, there may be alien life but not rational life, elsewhere. (Or, I guess there could be men elsewhere.)

| I guess this is essentially my position too. IGod certainly could put His image on other creatures. I don't honestly know how much help the Bible is on this subject since it deals with this world only. Anyone ever read Perilandra?
