If so, why? If not, why not?

If the Bible "stands for all", why does it discuss the earth (and no other planet) on 99.9% of its pages?

Besides, the Bible was written by men, and there are no "men" on Sigma 15-B

Most definitely. Which kind of makes "intelligent beings" an oxymoron.

There are other intelligent beings on this planet who have an alternative scripture. They're called Muslims.
We atheists find both Bible believers and Koran believers puzzling.
There are also intelligent beings who prefer other sacred texts, such as Hindus and Buddhists.
Who knows whether intelligent life on other planets would be into sacred texts the way people are on this planet?

I'd assume that, like us, there'd be a range of religious texts doing the rounds - along with the resulting abuse, hate, wars, and all the other ills.
Their own Bible, most likely - OUR Bible, probably not.

I doubt it. It takes a strange level of awareness and advancement to be able to ask why things happen without the knowledge to answer or courage to say "I don't know."

They are a little more advanced and do not need something as primitive as a bible.

Answer: Not if they're really intelligent. If they exist, and if they were "really intelligent", then they wouldn't ascribe to the religious myths.

It depends on their intelligence,
they might be so smart they are gods themselves and their laws would be their bible
or
they could be just like us

Yes to both questions because God is on all planets.
