(The other option of God's only son paying for all the different sins by incarnating in all the different sentient lifeforms is ruled out by the biblical teaching that Jesus is still supposd to be a human even in heaven.)
Something to think about: If Jesus can be human AND God at the same time, why can't he also be a member of any number of other sapient species as well ?

I'm not an expert on the incarnation, but maybe it has something to do with him having a human mother.
Since Mary is only the mother of the human Jesus, I can't see how that could possibly interfere with other incarnations. It sounds like you're setting an arbitrary limit on what God can do.
