Other religions didn't have an obligation to "go to other
planets to find extra-terrestrial life".

That's not what I asked.

I thought that's what you asked. Please clarify since I obviously
didn't understand.

And it's not even true, in the
broadest sense. The LDS believe that if they follow their
doctrine, they'll each get their own planet.

They also believe that American Indians are descendants of Hebrew
settlers of the Western Hemisphere.

It doesn't seem
to have held them back.

It doesn't seem to have moved them forward either. I don't know of
any LDS who actually *has* their own planet.

Perhaps they should reexamine their doctrines?
