Life on other planets etc

Regarding the teaching that “every planet its own creatures”, it may be important to consider the meaning of the Persian/Arabic word “khaq”, which is translated as “creature” and can signify any created thing, animate or inanimate. Also, the writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha state that even “minerals are endowed with a spirt and life according to the requirements of that stage…even as He saith in the Qur’an, ‘All things are living.’” Furthermore, Shoghi Effendi stated that “the creatures which Baha’u'llah states to be found on every planet cannot be considered to be necessarily similar [to] or different from human beings on this earth…It remains for science to discover one day the exact nature of these creatures.” from http://www.onethread.org/arise/?p=132 n__n
