An implicit belief in life we don’t know about was an uncontentious part of church doctrine for a very long time. The basic gist is the understanding that Creation is not parsimonious. It is joyfully over-abundant. Then, why wouldn’t there be life everywhere? Tangentially, i think the more important thing to remark on here is how that fundamental approach which proclaims that the world is not zero-sum has shifted, especially in modern times. I’d suggest that it’s not a positive shift.
