57:8.6 (660.8) It was at about this time that Urantia was assigned to the system of Satania for planetary administration and was placed on the life registry of Norlatiadek. Then began the administrative recognition of the small and insignificant sphere which was destined to be the planet whereon Michael would subsequently engage in the stupendous undertaking of mortal bestowal, would participate in those experiences which have since caused Urantia to become locally known as the “world of the cross.”
57:8.7 (661.1) 900,000,000 years ago witnessed the arrival on Urantia of the first Satania scouting party sent out from Jerusem to examine the planet and make a report on its adaptation for a life-experiment station. This commission consisted of twenty-four members, embracing Life Carriers, Lanonandek Sons, Melchizedeks, seraphim, and other orders of celestial life having to do with the early days of planetary organization and administration.
57:8.8 (661.2) After making a painstaking survey of the planet, this commission returned to Jerusem and reported favorably to the System Sovereign, recommending that Urantia be placed on the life-experiment registry. Your world was accordingly registered on Jerusem as a decimal planet, and the Life Carriers were notified that they would be granted permission to institute new patterns of mechanical, chemical, and electrical mobilization at the time of their subsequent arrival with life transplantation and implantation mandates.

The Urantia Book: A Cosmically Relevant Jesus Story
by Dr. Meredith J. Sprunger
Of all the possible challenges the Christian story might face, the discovery of intelligent life on another world will shake the foundations like nothing before. With the Christian story based on specific events within a specific culture on our planet at a particular point in time, how do human views of philosophy, theology, spiritual living and eternal life relate to lives lived elsewhere in an inhabited universe?
How does the life of Jesus on our world relate to the cultural evolution of what may well be a countless array of inhabited planets in our universe? With a theology of sacrifice based on the traditions of primitive Hebrew bedouin tribes, how do concepts such as salvation and grace assume significance on a world with a different evolutionary history than our earth?
This essay by Dr. Sprunger points in a constructive direction by linking the most recent thinking about Christian theology with the cosmology and eschatology outlined in The Urantia Book. It points toward a rational philosophy and theology while leaving open the possibility that every personality in the universe ultimately is oriented to life through a personal relationship with what we know as "the Christ."
While engaging in these theological speculations it is also important to appreciate the universal appeal of the revelation Jesus brought to our world, the revelation that the Absolute God of universes, Distributive deity, the Primordial, the Consequent, the Process—all are aspects of a loving heavenly Father who maintains loving personal relationships with every created being in the universe. "The Universal Father rules a universe of universes by the compelling power of his love. Love is the greatest of all spirit realities. Truth is a liberating revelation, but love is the supreme relationship." The Urantia Book
The foregoing Universe Christology is sketched in broad, impressionistic strokes. It is presented in the hope of stimulating creative theological thinking relative to a spiritual cosmology, which is harmonious with our contemporary knowledge of universe reality. Anyone interested in a more detailed consideration of religion from a universe point of view, will find The Urantia Book to be a highly informative and rewarding resource book.

Satire, dear friends
Being that the Earth solar system was the most pitiful place in the Universe, the Arch-Universal Overload sent his least useful subjects as inhabitants, hoping they would never return.
Contrary to all previous simulations of life upon cesspool Earth, the immigrants actually worsened the condition of the solar system by raising one egoistic monarch upon another.
After many aeons, the Supreme Monarch, Klipa Majora, succeeded in raising an army so to invade the home of the Arch-Universal Overlord. As all the other solar systems were peaceful, the invasion was quite a success and Chaos and Egoism became the law of the lands.
Outside of this Creation, Creator turned to Sun Absolute saying, "I told you, your idea sucked. I do hope you listen in the future. And no more of these fictitious Ur-antia books--after all Earth is not Ur-anus
