This paper addresses the recently renewed discussions of the possibility of multiple species-specific incarnations of God in the societies of extraterrestrial beings (if they exist) on exoplanets. It gives a scientific, philosophical and theological assessment of some of its claims, arguing that the problem of extraterrestrial intelligence contributes to the hermeneutics of the human condition on Earth. The authors formulate their negative position on the hypothesis of multiple incarnations in the context of modern cosmology and Orthodox theology
