"What does the Bible say about 'aliens'"?

 The Bible says nothing about aliens or creatures from other planets. The concept of aliens would not fit well in the Bible. In fact, it would be absurd.

Ro 8:20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;
21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the WHOLE CREATION groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.
* Creation (verses 20) was subjected to futility or inutility - Inutil in Bisaya! Creation right now is handicapped.
* Creation (verse 21) is in bondage to corruption - subject to decay.
* The whole creation (verse 22) groans - it is grieving.
If this is true then the aliens somewhere in outer space are living in a habitation wherein it is inutile, handicapped and groaning!
All because of man's sin!
Why would a God of justice do that to them? Absurd.
2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the HEAVENS will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
HeavenS (plural) refer to our atmospheric and interstellar heavens where we see stars and other heavenly bodies. If it is true that there are aliens living somewhere in outer space, this says that one day their habitation will be burned up!
All because of man's sin!
Why would a God of justice do that to them? Absurd!
Maybe they've sinned you say? That can't be. The Bible says that it's because of man's sin that the whole creation right now is affected.
If they sinned as well then the Lord Jesus Christ would have to go to their own planet and die for them too! But the Bible says that sometime after He resurrected He went straight to heaven, to God, never to die again.
You see, it becomes absurd right? It does not fit well with the Bible.
The belief in the existence of aliens are more in line with the theory of evolution. These scientists who espouse evolution are banking on the idea that if life could randomly evolve here, well, it might have evolved some place else in the universe. Hence, the aliens.
