Why is it not mentioned in the Bible??? Unless we are the only intelligent life in the entire universe. But this universe is waaay to big for me to believe that.

Because th bible was written by ignorant people. They didn't even know about life outside their own neighbourhood, let alone out in space.

Does the Bible mention every species of animals on earth? All plants? Everything that exists? No, and you know those things exist even though they are not mentioned in the Bible. The Bible can't tell you about everything, it's impossible to explain everything that exists and happens in a book, especially since men don't know or understand everything so they can't explain it all.
I think the universe is so huge that it's highly unlikely that we're alone. There must be some form of life somewhere out there. Whether it's anything similar to any form of life on earth or "intelligent life" I have no idea. But I find it likely that there is some life somewhere else in the universe. I also think it's unlikely we'll find out for sure any time soon.

The Bible doesn't mention cheesecake, but I ate one last week (well, not all of it, because that would be greedy). Is the Bible wrong because it doesn't mention cheesecake? No, because mentioning cheesecake would have had no relevance to the various messages being conveyed by the Bible. Extra-terrestrial life isn't mentioned because a) it might not exist (we don't know) and b) if it does, the inclusion of extra-terrestrial life in the Bible would probably had no additional significance to its message, which afterall is about the salvation of the human race, and not martians.

The bible states that the God created many worlds, this could mean life on other planets or was this the terminology of the time to represent other nations/areas on earth? Great question lets hear from others.

It doesn't mention that drawing to an inside straight is a bad idea in the Bible either but it is.
The Bible wasn't meant to be a comprehensive encyclopedia of everything. Its a guidebook for living your life in a manner proscribed by God. That works the same whether we're all alone in the universe or whether its crammed full of aliens.

You can only believe in life on other planets if you believe in evolution, but if you believe the Bible that only God can create life then it would not be strange that life only exists here, since God only created it here. And if you believe in evolution then the Bible is a pack of lies so why would you care what it says?

There may be intelligent life on other planets—but if so, the Bible doesn't mention it. If there is, it is because God put them there (just as He put us here), and their purpose is to glorify and serve God (just as ours is).
While it's interesting to speculate about life on other planets, it's important to remember that God is everywhere, and although our planet is very small, God has not forgotten us. He made us, and He provided for us by making the world so it would sustain life. Never forget the opening verses of the Bible: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. ... God saw all that he had made, and it was very good" (Genesis 1:1, 31).
But something happened to the perfect world that God created—and that "something" was sin. Adam and Eve walked with God—but in time they gave in to the temptations of Satan, and they turned their backs on God. And when they did, sin—like a lethal cancer—destroyed their fellowship with God and brought death to the human race.
But God did not abandon us! God loves us, and He was determined to bring us back to Himself. He did this by coming down to earth in the person of His Son, Jesus, who died so we could live. Do you know the God of the universe in a personal way? You can, by opening your heart to Jesus Christ today.

There is NO life on other planets, period. The bible says that Eve is the mother of all living. I think all the planets and space was made by God for us to enjoy, thank you God. Do not believe anybody if they say that there is life on other planets, nobody has ever been on another planet.

So far no news about a living being in another planet. At least believe until then.

It does say in the bible that there are things that we don't know because our brains aren't able to comprehend it. Maybe that's what it was talking about.
