Whose their God? Same God? Why isn't that written in the Bible or the Quran or etc? Why is all of the beginning begins with us?

Okay I missed a word in my title question from typing so fast.. Here is the title question "Do you think there are other living creatures who can also THINK other than us?"

who knows? but if they think, maybe they don't have a god. maybe they don't need one like humans do.

Yes, I'm positive somewhere out there in the vast stretches of space there's intelligent life. And no, they would not be worshiping the God of the bible; I'm an Earthling but even I don't worship him. You have to keep in mind that the God of the bible started off as a tribal God, indigenous to the Middle East. His followers over time converted many other people into worshiping him. Unless you were to have contact with alien worlds, they would have no knowledge of the God of the bible.
Now an alien civilization would not have anything similar to the culture or religion as we know it here on Earth. In all likelihood they would look nothing like humanoids. If they had any Gods, they would surely envision them to much like their own kind.

Wheat worships the same Flying Spaghetti Monster that we do.
Corn tends to worship the Terrible Taco.
You need to better define what you mean by think. There are certainly creatures that can do many things which require part of what people would term thinking including some that were once thought exclusively human like tool making or planning for the future. There are also creatures who exhibit actions which seem to be based on emotions similar to those which we have including humor and charity.
It's not in the bible because the bible feels that we were given dominion over those creatures.

The Bible has many referneces to "stones crying out", "trees clapping", all of Creation singing praise to God! Read Job 12.

Yes, all animals think, how to hunt, when is their partner in heat? etc. The difference between us is that we think with a conscious. We do things with a full understanding of right and wrong. Animals just make decisions based on survival.

No.
There are NO space men, no flying saucers, no Vulcans, no Kilngons, we're all there is until I see proof.
I know an atheist who once went on and on about E.T.s and Roswell, etc., and I asked him why don't the flying saucers just land during the Superbowl so everyone knows they're real. He had to pause and think about it, then he said "Maybe they have a Prime Directive not to interfere like on Star Trek". I almost fell out of my chair in disbelief. It's all sci-fi!

Humans are the only ones who think there's a god. All other life forms are better than we are for this. A lion is less likely to call you stupid than Pat Robertson the Farting Preacher.

Interesting.
But I doubt definitly there are more creatures living somewhere.. afterall the universe is expanding day by day.

The bible does mention other creatures (they live in heaven).

I thought all creatures could think...even goldfish.
But yes. There are probably those even more intelligent than us :)
