We know that there are many planets that could have life. Some may have life forms like humans capable of knowing what is right or wrong or simply UFOs. Do you think that God the creator would also manifest Himself to other creatures in other planets? Would he transform like an alien or accordingly to the inhabitants of that planet? Is God focused only men on earth? What do you think?

There is a growing consensus that belief in a god is an evolved trait. Since evolution is a series of random events there is no reason to believe that life on other planets would evolve in the same way as it has on the planet earth.
It is an interesting question as to whether an organism that develops higher intelligence develops a concept of a creator. I guess we will have to wait until we meet ET to get an answer on that one.

This is for good reason. There has been extensive reseach on the temporal lobes of the brain and patients whome experience epoleptic fits in these areas of the brain. Many claim to have had a deeply spiritual experience which changes them, for there remaining years in some cases.
A scientist who's name eludes me right now created a machine which stimulates the temporal lobes and simulates what these epoleptics experience. Because he's dealing with a pile of jelly containing one hundred billion neorons and ten trillion synapses some times these experiments can be hit or mis.. But its safe to say that it is highly probable that our interest in higher beings is pre programmed into our brains. Every civilization beleives in some higher being/s greater then themselves.
There is a great book on this "the spiritual brain"

Interesting question.
If God being the creator of all, I think would manifest himself everywere. God loves all his creatures, and god loves all his creations. So maybe god would manifest himself on planets with no life for that matter.. Sounds like a tree falling in the woods statement..
I am not a follower of faith But Thats just How I would assume it to be.

Yes God love so much all His creations and He could have His own ways on other planets to make his creations know Him. Maybe other planets had its own alien Adam and Eve. But do you think God would make other life forms close to human capabilities on other planets?

Its important not to rule out evolution in this matter, so Creatures with human capibilities would be possible depending on atmosphere. An earth like planet my form earth like creatures, but natural selection would determine what there capibilities are. So possibly.. I dont see why not.

i don't think, I know God has said himself that he has other sheep in other pastures that he is real to read in your bible John 10:16
