We are the focas of attention right now. All of Creation is watching The War between Good and Evil. We chose to be the battle ground when we ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and evil.

Your ego is almost as big as your religious fanaticism.

Why would the rest of the universe be interested in an insignificant planet, the residents of which are still killing each other in droves whilst destroying their own environment while they do so?

If a bemused alien looked down on Earth, they'd see a battle between evil and evil - with a few good people keeping well clear for the religious idiots killing each other. I'd prefer if we didn't encounter other lifeforms until we're a bit more civilised for fear of embarrasment.

There is a War going on Everyone in Creation is watching. This insignificant planet is the battle field. The battle field on which GOD will defeat the forces of evil. GOD will replace the Earth, with a new one.

One of my cousins had a baby die a few years ago and it makes good sense to me where this baby goes.It also makes good sense to me that those people you describe have the same fate.....however I don't know.

What fate is this? Heaven or hell?

This is why the Church is so obsessed with maintaining an earth-centric view of the universe.

I'm pretty sure the Church would attempt to convert the aliens that were not enlightened by the shedding of the blood of Christ.

The Church is focused on Earth because, for the moment, there is no other audience.

If you sin without knowing what you're doing, God takes that into account. But if you sin knowing full well what you are doing, that's a different story entirely. Merely hearing God's ;aw is a waste of your time if you don't do what he commands. Doing, not hearing, is what makes the difference with god. when outsiders who have never heard of God's law follow it more or less by instinct, they confirm its truth by their obedience. They show that God's law is not something alien, imposed on us from without, but woven into the very fabric of our creation. There is something deep within that echoes God's yes and no, right and wrong. Their response to God's yes and no willbecome public knowledge on the day God makes his final decision about man and woman. The message from God that I proclaimthrough Jesus Christ takes into account all these differrnces. ROMANS 2:12-16 THE MESSAGE BIBLE
(For as many as have sinned without law shall perish without law; and as many as have sinned in the lawshall be judged by the law; For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. Fir when the Gentiles have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the meanwhile accusing or excusing one another😉 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. ROMANS 2:12-16 KJV BIBLE

Of course by 'Law' St Paul meant the Law of Moses.

Do you keep kosher blindfaith? I mean, after all, you are well aware of
the Law. Do you keep the purity laws, too?

Another option might be that he has more than one child, as in one for every other inhabited planet, Some of them might even be girls!
Which kind of gets me thinking ......... If god really wanted to make an impact he should have sacrificed a daughter instead!
