Let me be clear. What I have seen in this discussion is several quotes from General Authorities (who may be wrong) stating there are no other Saviors on any other world, but that Jesus Christ is the Savior for all men everywhere, on all planets. I also see some wonderful logic used to interpret scripture to show there is no data on how things are done on other worlds.

Neither position truly makes sense. To say there is no information on other worlds given to the men of this one is not nearly the same as making conclusions of how similar those worlds are to our own. To say there was one atonement for all worlds throughout time and eternity demands the imagination to stretch to great lengths to consider it.

What I see is a profound lack of knowledge of the greater Universe. Is this world the pinnacle of all worlds, as some have said? The only planet righteous enough for the Savior to be born here, and the only one wicked enough to kill Him. Or is this world following the exact same pattern as every world before it? Does every world have a Satan and a Savior? Having never been to another planet or spoken with a being from another planet, how can I possibly know which of these is the truth?

Everyone posting seems convinced their interpretation is the only one, but I am no longer certain.
