We must share this joy-filled, adventure-filled, abundant life with someone. So this is what we will do: We will create a family, in our image, with whom we can share this life. But in order to create free-willed creatures in our image, we must eliminate the possibility of relational betrayal (Sin). The only way to do that is by becoming one of the created creatures right along with them, sharing with them the life that we are giving them and experiencing the same things they experience. This way, they will know that they can trust us....."
If God has created any other "aliens" on other planets in the universe, he would have to deal with the issue of Sin in the same way as he has done so on this planet. But there is only one, only-begotten Son of God and he is Human.
That is why I believe what I do.
