If there is, why doesn't God mention it? But then again, it is hard to believe that in the whole universe, we are the only life.

lol because god decided to leave details out... oh wait no this was written by man who had no idea of life on other planets. ... yet another sign that either god is hiding stuff from us or this book is nothing more then written by man.

God does not answer to us. So if He mentions something its because He wants us to note it. Maybe to Him its not important for us to know the answer. Besides the present earth will be burnt up.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
2 Peter 3:9-11
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Revelation 21:1-3

No it doesn't. It wouldn't really be pertinent to the people that wrote it thousands of years ago anyway.
Funny enough, I've seen Jerry Falwell say that he thinks it DOES mean that Earth is the only life anywhere....but, then again, he probably still beleives the old theory by Ptolemy that the Earth is the actuial center of the universe!
There is absolutely NO WAY this planet is all the life in the universe...we already know that it only requires water and certain degree of warmth for life to exist...and there's plenty of evidence of water even in our own solar system.

1) That is certainly one theory. Among many.
2) As I tell my students time and time again: Scripture is not a "science book".
3) It may be hard to believe for you - but it's the subject of a very well written scholarly work by Peter Ward (see below).
4) For every Carl Sagan ("Billions and billions...") there is a Peter Ward ("Rare Earth: Why Complex Life is Uncommon in the Universe.")
Do some reading. It's really a fascinating subject!

Thats because the Bible was written by men who had no inkling of an idea of other galaxies and star systems with planets revolving around them.
Thats why I keep hoping for aliens to show up. Maybe that will help shut Christians up when they see another life form that doesnt look humanoid but is intelligent. So much for that "made in his image" stuff...

Good question. The bible doesn't have all things in it. God had man put in it what He thought was important at the time. We also don't see any mention of China in the Bible, but that doesn't mean China doesn't exist.

I doubt there is life on other planets, but I couledn't prove it with the Bible. I could deduce it, but I could be wrong. (For instance when the Bible says death came into the world with Adam's sin, Jesus the second Adam, descended humanly from Adam, conquered death - all this is limited to this planet, and could imply that there is no life or death elsewhere - but it doesn't necessarily mean that.)

The Bible is concerned only with man and his relationship with God. The Bible does not tell us everything that we want to know, but what God wants us to know.
