Oh. Islamic scholars have an openness about extraterrestrial life. Passages in the Quran referring to creation say the creation of the worlds (plural). Also, I don't believe Eden was a place on Earth. That is not necessarily to say it is a place on another planet though. The description in the Qur'an gives us the impression that they were sent to Earth from Eden. The paradise (heaven) we are promised is ussually described as a garden with rivers running beneath it. There are lots of other descripters as well that make it seem perfect and beyond anything possible in the world as we experience it. Some say the description represents a literal, physical place; some (me included) say the descripters in the Quran are imagery that is the best we can relate to with our worldly experience. Actual heaven is beyond our imaginations. D'ya think Robin Williams will be disapointed? Spaceship, huh? Cult nuttyness.
