The odds of other alien life in an infinite universe should be very high. Sentient life while less common, should still be well represented. Scientists and theorists have calculated mathematical probabilities of life and all points to it, but why has humanity yet to experience an encounter? Has it already happened but is forgotten? Is it a secret? Or, is it simply a filtering effect where the probabilities of life becoming sentient did not work out on other worlds like on Earth? Yet, still, is it merely too large of a universe for sentient civilizations to ever meet?

Theologically, Christianity is open to the notion of other life because one cannot limit God in His grand plan, but how would other life fit into the narrative of humanity? The video below looks at some theological questions that could arise.
