Nope. According to the bible, we are God's only little pet project. Assuming you believe in God, I find it hard to believe that he would create one world (which didn't seem to take much effort on his part) and not create other worlds, just for kicks. I certainly would... but then again... I'm not God. Or am I?

Life on other planets? The godbots who wrote the bile - oops, bible - were a bunch of know-nothings who didn't even know that there WERE other planets. How could the inventors of a book of fiction possible speculate on something that they could not conceive being possible?
The reason the book of blood talks about the Earth the way it does is because the hash-smoking writers didn't know there were other planets and thought Venus, our nearest neighbor, was a wandering star. They believed the sun circled the Earth, or at least, that's what they _wrote_.
The babble - oops, bible - does not mention television, nuclear energy, evolution, computers, nor any include scientific advancement that helped our understanding. It is bereft of any scientific value.
A six hundred foot long boat is capable of holding every species of animal? Only if one has no concept of geometry.
Bats are birds and rabbits chew their cud? Only if one has never studied biology.
Pi is 3? Only if one knows nothing about geometry.

"Leviathan" and "behmoth" were dinosaurs? Only if one is desperately seeking to make the most tenuous of arguments for a non-argument. It is a better argument to say "leviathan" and "behmoth" were Tiamat and Ouroboros, since they were just as mythical as the buybull. (No correction this time, since you have to buy bull to believe in the buybull.)

If you want to see the word, "planets," the answer is No, but everyone pretty much agrees that angels are created beings that predate life on earth. And how about the book of Job 38:4-7 It asks, "Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth ... and the sons of God shouted for joy?" Then you have Job 1:6 and 2:1 which both seem to talk about an interplanetary convention where Satan crashes the gathering and suggests that he should rightfully represent earth. Then, in the NT you have Hebrews 1:2 where it says that God has "spoken unto us by his Son ...by whom also he made the worlds." Hope that helps.

It's not specifically excluded by Genesis. But considering that God took more time 'designing' the Earth Sun and Moon then he did the rest of our solar system and the other 10^22 stars in the universe, it would seem that Christianity more or less says there is no life elsewhere.

The Bible doesn't mention life on other planets. It simply says that "in the beginning God created the heavens and the EARTH." If there are beings on other planets He has a reason for not telling us.

Because the authors of the bible (humans) had no knowledge of the planets and other forms of life in the universe. This was before the advent of science.

The bible doesnt say anything about other life forms on other planets. It doesnt say it's possible. It doesnt say it's not. What it DOES say only pertains to the earth. It's all about the earth. And it's all about MAN.
On the other hand, if you believe, like Christians do, that God is all-powerful, all-potent, all-everything, then there's no reason why He or She wouldnt create other life forms on other planets.
But dont hold your breath looking in the bible for the answer to that one.

Is absence of evidence evidence of absence?
I like to think not. Just because it does not mention extraterrestrial lifeforms, does not mean it doesn't exist. After all, did the Bible mention every single life form on Earth itself?

No....Jesus died and rose again..one time, for us. If there were life on other planets, then there would have to be a whole new bible and Jesus would have to be sacrificed again. For Romans 6:10 says, "For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. "
