What can be said from a Biblical viewpoint? Man was told by God to ‘multiply and fill the earth.’ (Genesis 1:28) At the same time, he was given intelligence and an insatiable desire to know more about his context, including the biosphere, the stratosphere, and beyond. That context includes our tiny solar system and the stars beyond. Thus, King David was inspired to write some three thousand years ago: “When I see your heavens, the works of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have prepared, what is mortal man that you keep him in mind, and the son of earthling man that you take care of him?”—Psalm 8:3, 4.
The Hubble telescope recently transmitted an image of the giant galaxy M87. It was described as a blob of light that consists of two trillion stars! Can you imagine that figure? How far away is M87? Fifty-two million light-years from earth—“relatively close on the intergalactic distance scale!” Let’s face it, man and the earth are so infinitesimal compared to the unimaginable vastness of universal space!
What the Creator is doing and will do in all that endless space is beyond our present comprehension. Regardless of man’s ambitions for outer space, an issue has been raised on our planet that must first be settled by God’s intervention.—Revelation 16:14-16.
What is that Issue? The issue is the choice between rule by God and rule by Satan. —Genesis 3, Job and 2 Corinthians 4:4.
Additionally, those who claim to have been contacted by or to have seen Aliens have a common experiences, saying they are youthful and beautiful in appearance, and they are kind and full of compassion.
They have little trouble with language, speaking clearly in the language of the listener.
Their appearances are accompanied by brilliant light.
They are usually the same height as humans.
They express concern about the plight of humanity and the planet.
The explanation is that wicked spirits, or demons, are evidently behind many such “encounters.” As the Bible says, “Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:14)

No it does not, but fundamentalists will say we are the only life in the universe because in Genesis it states God created Adam then Eve (from Adam) then all the plants and animals on this world. Therefore nothing anywhere else.
However I am not the only christian who believes there is likely to be life elsewhere in the universe.

Look up the word "host" in your Bible concordance for a possible lead. It says at one point that "I will gather my 'hosts' from the four corners of the universe...." Either it is a reference to other beings on other planets or a reference to the earth as the universe. Since the earth has no corners and we have no clue as to the shape of the universe, I take it to mean the universe as we think of it.

Not relevant.
Like the New Testament updates the old one so will the second coming update it again for when we reach the next level. Right now we are just coming out of the Age of Empires marked by the fall of the Soviet Union and loss of all the great European Empires.
Even if there is, we are simply not ready for that yet.

It neither supports or denies the exist of physical life on other planets. It does support the existence of spiritual life in the realm of heaven.
The Bible was never intended to be a manual of science but on God and how to relate to him, so there are many things having to do with science, astronomy, etc that get no mention in scripture.

Please expound on your question and I'll be back in a little while to re-address it. Right not it's imcomplete.
Thank you and I'll be back.
Edit: Ok, I'm back, but no further information on your question. I can only think you mean are humans the only ones that exist in in the universe. We do not know this because the new scrolls have not been opened yet. After Armageddon those that truly love God and his standards, and some who were never exposed to his standards, will be exposed to the new scrolls which includes new information about most everything that we currently lack knowledge of. Do you know if you'll be part of the new system when this old one is destroyed after Armageddon?

No, but hey I went to a 7th day Adventist church and the preacher said there were 99 other planets with life on them, when I asked how the hell he worked that out he referred me to the bible passage where the Shepherd leaves his 99 flock of sheep to go find the lost one, I don't know if all 7th dayers believe this though

Hello and yes it does, in two places, in Hebrews 1:2 and 11:3 it uses the word "worlds" with a "s" and in Job 1:6 there was a meeting somewhere in space where the Representatives of other worlds came to meet with God. www.itiswritten.com God bless

The Bible doesn't state one way or the other if there is life on other planets .

None of the Bible writers addressed any issues arising from a modern model of the universe; it would never have occurred to any of them to even wonder about life on other planets.
