A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Was just watching Jack Ryan Season 3 and seeing the display of force and their movements causes some interesting dissonance given what we know now.

It's at least heavily implied in many. It implies that he created everything and all living things on it only talks about creatures being created on earth. If the book is accurate (it's clearly not, but let's assume) and if it's divinely inspired, it should be aware of cresting life elsewhere also. It also calls stars/glalaxies/nebulas/whatever "lights in the dome of the sky" so not exactly a great start for it.

It being weird or wrong hasn't stopped it really before though, but it would probably create some kind of shift, especially if it's intelligent. In that case, are they deserving the same status as man? Are they children of God also? Why do they look different?

Christians don't even care what the Bible says let alone what it implies.
