You asked

can christian faith make room for many worlds theory?

The passage, plainly, with room to sit with it.

Romans 1:20

For since the creation of the world his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

The Apostle Paul, writing in the first century CE to Christians in Rome, argues that God's existence and attributes are evident in the natural world. This passage comes early in his letter, establishing a foundation for his later discussions about human responsibility and salvation.

What does this passage suggest about how we might approach new scientific theories that propose different understandings of 'what has been made'?
