I'm having a problem seeing how Christians can believe in the Bible and intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. It would be an amazing coincidence if every planet had the Bible. So can people believe in the Bible and aliens? I guess that's my first question.

I'm a christian and I don't believe in extraterrestrial intelligent life because the bible says he created the heavens and the earth for us.

I'd say there's a difference between 'believing' that there's an alien race out there and imaginining 'what if?'
I see a lot of scientists say they believe in extra-terrestrial life without a shread of evidence, but take the trouble to belittle Christians (Not Muslims, Jews, or Hindus, mind you) for believing in God.
I think anyone, without hypocricy, can imagine what it might be like within God's design for an alien race to exist without a firm dedicated belief that they are out there.

You can believe in just about anything and the Bible as long as you accept that the Bible has many myths written a very, very long time ago by men of an earlier time who didn't know all we know today.

I read this great sci-fi book about a Crusades Era town in England that was getting all geared up to fight in the Holy Land when an alien ship lands. They take the ship and load it up and leave Earth. They get lost and through their arts of warfare, bravery, and blind luck carve out an empire that is contacted by Earth in the far flung future. I'm not Christian, but it was a rollicking romp. (rollicking romp?). I forget it's title.

Yes, the New Intergalactic Standard Version.
My family is alien :we are from another country.
The possiblility of intelligent life on other planets does not bother me or my faith in Christ as the One Savior and Lord of the Cosmos at all. Be well and prosper.

Intelligent life...that is something I certainly wish was on this terrestial planet. I do think human intelligence can not comprehend all the answers to the numerous questions, even if one's I.Q is 141. It is certainly feasible to believe in a creator God who creates other planets and people to inhabit them.

The Bible tells of God making the Heavens and the Earth, but it missed out "other" Earths and peoples!
But aliens are as ambiguous as religion itself.

Most of the aliens that I know have bibles translated into the languages of the countries that they were formerly from.In other words Polish people who are not yet citizens have Polish language bibles.

Aliens have to travel light so they carry around the highly edited version proposed by the infamous Jesus Seminar.
It reads, "Dear people, What can I say. Love, God"
