How would each religion view this?

Being of an earth based religion, your imagery is beautiful and something to be very thankful for. Since there is no dogma in my beleifs I cannot speak for anyone but myself and I think it's awfully pompous to be so egocentric and ignore the possibilities that are out there. Whatever the Divine is, I don't ume for an instance this planet is the only one teeming with life. It would be a huge waste of space.
