Know thou that every fixed star hath its own planets, and
every planet its own creatures, whose number no man can compute. - Baha'u'llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah’)
Regarding the passage on p. 163 of the 'Gleanings'; the
creatures which Bahá'u'lláh states to be found in every planet cannot be
considered to be necessarily similar or different from human beings on this
earth. Bahá'u'lláh does not specifically state whether such creatures are like
or unlike us. He simply refers to the fact that there are creatures in every
planet. It remains for science to discover one day the exact nature of these
creatures.
