The Baha'i Studies Listserv And I assume it is the various references in the Writings to extra-terrestrial "beings" and "creatures".
I would suggest people interested in the topic read Troxel's paper on the subject - http://bahai-library.com/troxel_extraterrestrials_exotheology Abstract: Theological statements on extraterrestrial life in Christian and Baha'i texts, and in the work of Giordano Bruno and Galileo. Notes: Abstract: This article discusses theological statements of the possibility of extraterrestrial life (ETI) in the universe in Christianity and the Bahá'í Revelation. The persecutions of Giordano Bruno and Galileo are used to disclose the dogma of the Catholic Church concerning ETI. Quotations from the Bahá'í Writings are given to disclose the exotheology of the Bahá'í Revelation. Author notes that this paper passed review by the United States Bahá'í National Center Literature Review Office in August 1996.
