The universe is so huge. Does the Bible (or equivalent) specifically say that aliens don't exist?

I asked this question before and I did not get any satisfactory answers so I will ask again.
I thought of this question when was thinking about Christ being a Jew along with all of his followers. But now they are just called Christians, not the Jewish Christians or something like that. I am looking for an explanation for all examples not just this one examle about Christians.
Thanks.

I always thought Muslims were people that went to mosques and prayed towards Mecca. But my Muslim friend said that anyone who submits to God is a Muslim. So you can be a Christian and Muslim, and God will still accept you in heaven for submitting to him. What is the truth?

And he started making the Ark; and every time the chiefs of his people passed by him, they mocked at him. He said, 'If now you mock at us, the time is coming when we shall mock at you even just as you mock now.

We will, certainly, suffice thee against those who mock -

Holy Quran

All big religions give same massage in different ways if one studies; most of the things which are sin in one are sin in all major religions. The difference is some religions’ people are more religious and others are almost nonreligious. Why do people think that if they change their religion something which is a sin in their religion would not be sin in other unless they make changes to religion or become nonreligious? Also, why do people ask that why people in your religion are not allowed to something, where as their own religion also stops them to do that? Why do they think that making changes or ignoring their religion makes them modern or something? (Please note I am talking about only the major religions)

Well the predictions in the Bible are head line news these days. The Bible says woe to any woman with child. I feel that way about those that have children now. They aren't being taught what's right and wrong. And they will be our future?

What I wonder is why does any man think that they are qualified to judge a womans decision to terminate a pregnancy.

When it is possible for you to be impregnated as a result of a brutal rape, then you may have a right to comment. Otherwise it is not the business of anyone else besides the woman involved.

I am a very strong Catholic, but I do not normally believe stuff like "the devil made me do it". However, I read somewhere in a book that the 20th century was a century given to the devil by God.

Apparently, the devil told God that, if he could have greater power over mankind, they would turn away from God. God gave him a century to do this so God could prove him wrong.

If this is true, does this mean that we may become a moral nation once again? That we may someday end abortion and homosexuals will no longer be mainstream to society?

Or are we doomed to live in a society where anyone's morals can be changed by some really good convincing?

If the babies grow up, they have an average chance of going to Heaven. How does Person Z ensure maximum goodness in this situation (according to the Bible rules, anyway)?

13 And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto them saying:
14 Arise and come forth unto me, that ye may thrust your hands into my side, and also that ye may feel the prints of the nails in my hands and in my feet, that ye may know that I am the God of Israel, and the God of the whole dearth, and have been slain for the sins of the world.
3 Nephi 11:13-14
If you are a Christian and do not believe in this verse, you have no proof of your own to refute the "Christ is not God" argument and are therefore following a false religion and God. And you can take that to the bank!

I am a lesbian and I plan to stay celibate forever. Could I get married in the Catholic Church to a gay man? The Church does not require eros (carnal love/attraction), but rather agape (literally, pouring out oneself) for marriage, and agape transcends gender and orientation. So, would the Church marry us if we followed all of its doctrines and dogmas, believed deeply in Christ, and so on?
I mean, I don't think that it is in any way profaning the Sacrament of matrimony, as agape is love too, just not in the way that current society is used to looking at it. By the way, in case you are wondering why I'd ever consider marrying a man, it is so that we could have a family and take care of children that would not otherwise have a family with a mother and a father. Sex, after all, is not really an important part of marriage, it's just a nice benefit.

Shouldn't you base every single part of your life on him read the bible all of your free time and pray. Go to church everyday. Follow every single word in the bible. Use any means necessary to spread your religion to others. Even by forcing them in to it. After all you are saving there soul for eternity they will thank you in the next life. Shouldn't you force the government to make biblical law the only law???(after all in your mind NOT mine God's law is perfect)

Long ago it was believed that stillborn babies never got to Heaven, they were in limbo for eternity because they weren't baptised.
Now we've decided that's not true.
And what about gay Christians? You can't believe in God and at the same time think you're going to Heaven if he says you're evil.

You can't pick and choose, people!
