It depends on the religion. In Japan there are over a thousand gods. For the Jewish, Muslim, and Christian religions, there is only one god.

---

Jews, Christians and Muslims would say there is only one God, whom they worship, and that all other gods are not real. However, John Dominic Crossan (The Birth of Christianity) says that it is not morally acceptable to say directly and openly that our story is truth but yours is myth; ours is history but yours is a lie. If it is not morally acceptable to exclude the possibility of other gods in a general discussion, then all gods must be considered. This means not only all the Hindu, Buddhist, Daoist and Shinto gods, as well as all other modern gods, but also the pagan gods of ancient times. These gods are no longer worshipped because Christian religious leaders forbade their worship, not because they are necessarily untrue.

If we accept that there is one God in the world, we should also accept that there are thousands of gods. The number is uncounted.

---

Both Greece and Rome had similar pantheons, with a dozen or so major gods and a larger number of lesser gods and demigods. These corresponded to many of the pagan gods, and to natural forces ascribed to these deities.

---

There is no grand total number of gods that people have ever believed in. The number even varies within faiths. For example, in the Hindu religion, some believe in 33 gods, while others reportedly believe in as many as 330 million gods. Some believe in one god with many facets of him/her, like a diamond with a million faces, any one of which can be worshipped without fault.

Some belief systems call for natural things to be worshipped, like animals, nature, or events, which further complicates the question.

According to Wikipedia, the definition of a god is: "supernatural creator and overseer of the universe". Included here in this definition are all deities, goddesses and supernatural beings. Arbitrary distinction between old mythology gods and modern gods is simply unjustifiable from a factual and historical point of view. From an impartial point of view, all gods are equal and none of them have presence over any others.

Since the beginning of recorded history, which is defined by the invention of writing by the Sumerians around 6000 years ago, we have cataloged over 3700 supernatural beings, of which 2870 are considered deities. Those numbers are most probably a very conservative estimate because we have no accurate information before 4000 B.C. and human civilization goes back 8 000 to 10 000 years ago. For the first trace of modern humans, Homo sapiens sapiens, we have to go a lot further back to 195 000 years ago. That means we have no direct evidence, or accurate information, about a believe system, if any, for 97% of the existence of the human species on Earth. We do have some indirect evidence from funeral rite performed as far back as 350 000 years ago which may imply the believe of some sort of after life and/or 1 or many supernatural beings.

Those supernatural beings are regrouped in the following subcategories:

AFRICAN GODS

AUSTRALIAN GODS

AZTEC GODS

CARIBBEAN GODS

CELTIC GODS

CHINESE GODS

EGYPTIAN GODS

FINNISH GODS

GREEK GODS

INCAN GODS

INDIAN GODS

JAPANESE GODS

MAYAN GODS

MESOPOTAMIAN GODS

MIDDLE-EASTERN GODS

NATIVE AMERICAN GODS

NORSE GODS

OCEANIC GODS

ROMAN GODS

SLAVIC and BALTIC GODS

SOUTH AMERICAN GODS

SOUTH-EAST ASIAN GODS

TIBETAN GODS

There is no accurate count of the number of gods, demi-gods and other beings worshipped by mankind over the course of the centuries. At the link are summaries of the names and abilities of about 3000 deities. The list does not include saints or other protective spirits that may be used in god-like roles in some people's daily lives.

It depends on the religion, there are religions that believe in none, 1, or more gods, there is no way to prove that there is a god or that there is no god. Just believe in your own religion, or no religion at all.

Answer

Most concepts of God involve monotheism, the belief that there is only one. Going by that concept, there would only be one God for all the 130 billion galaxies that scientists estimate to exist.

Define "god". There may be god-like creatures, but gods are typically defined as a) having created everything, or at least humans, the earth etc, or b) having been the very first things to exist.

Since there is no evidence to support A in the natural sciences, and B is a logical contradiction (how could a god-like being exist?) I'm gonna go with "no".

---

If there are inhabitants in other galaxies, and they cannot explain a phenomena (Planet-quake, volcanic eruption, solar storm, etc.), then they will definitely invent a god in their image, just to give some sort of explanation. They will offer sacrifices, invent rituals, elect an intermediary (Priest, Pastor, Immam, Rabbi or their equivalence), invent religion, build some sort of temples, etc..

But if the inhabitants have a more advance level of intelligence, then they won't need a god because they will know the causes of these Phenomenon. And they know that the only thing that is real is what's happening in the present moment.

"And they ask you (O Muhammad pbuh) concerning the Rooh (the Spirit); Say: "The Rooh (the Spirit): it is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of knowledge, you (mankind) have been given only a little." (The Noble Quran, 17:85)"

[Quran 41:53] "We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and in their own souls, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your Lord that He is a witness over all things?

Allah(Arabic word for God), is not in this universe. In Islam we say: "Allah is above the seven heavens." with other words; above creation, outside creation, no contact with creation, etc.

today science tells us: "universe is expanding", so this means there must be something outside this universe (since universe is occuping/winning space). Some say we call (this (not yet) occupied place) it "nothing", some say we call it anti-space and some say other things. But we know for sure universe is expanding (since the Big Bang). I know it because science tells this and the Quran "...We have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We who are steadily expanding it.... " (Quran 51:47).

We Muslims say this "outside universe" is the second heaven or Where God is (above creation). We do not know the conditions of the second heaven or how it is there. that is why this is also an opinion.

Today science tells us also that before the Big Bangthere was no time & space. time and space is inside the universe, but outside, there is not. you can know this because a few seconds after the Big Bang, the universe was occupiying/winning "space" and inside this space time existed and matterial, but outside there was obviesely "nothing". We Muslims are saying Allah swt is not effected by time, where He is, doesn't exist time or space, for 1400 years.

Today science tells us: "between the earth and the sun, there is nothing (a few moleculs maybe, but most of it is empty), and yet light travels in this 'empty-nothing" So you do not need something (around you like on earth) to travel in, to exist in.

We also see that the Earth and the Universe were one piece. The whole universe was one mass (giant cloud) in the "Big Bang-moment". Quran says this also: (Quran 21:30) "Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were of one piece, then We parted them, and we made every living thing of water? Will they not then believe? (Quran79:30) "..He made the earth (ostrich's)egg-shaped..".

In Arabic every word has many meanings. Sahih bukhari, Volume 9, Book 87, Number 141: Narrated Abu Huraira:

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "I have been sent with Jawami al-Kalim (i.e., the shortest expression carrying the widest meanings), ...Muhammad said, Jawami'-al-Kalim means that Allah expresses in one or two statements or thereabouts the numerous matters that used to be written in the books revealed before (or after) (the coming of) the Prophet.

I can go on, but it would be too long. So i believe there is only one God, because the Quran says so, and It would be total chaos if there were two or more gods. Because they would start a war or something.

The doctrine of the Christian Church and Judaism (which both have the same roots) - and I believe of the Islamic faith - is that God is the God of the universe, not simply of our galaxy. Cosmologically the Big Bang (or Creation - call it what you will) was a result Christians would argue, of an eternal God's creation. 'Eternal' means existing outside of time which explains a great deal about God - his omnipresence, his ability to hear prayer (no 'in box' filling up over time), his ability to perform miracles (no need to adhere to the laws of cause and effect) and so on. This also explains the need to create time at the moment of the Big bang as pointed out by Einstein in his special theory of relativity. Thus, if God was involved in the creation of 'Big Bang' then he was responsible for the creation of the universe and not simply a galaxy. Therefore God is God of the universe and not a galaxy.

Should, therefore, any alien (should they exist) worship a deity in another galaxy, is would ipso facto have to be the same God, whatever his name.
