Life and modern questions
What does the Bible say about aliens?
The Bible says nothing about life on other planets. It does say the heavens declare God's glory and that Earth's story centres on Christ.
What Scripture says

“The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.”

“For the LORD who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and didn’t create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited says: “I am the LORD. There is no other.”
Colossians 1:16
“For by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been created through him and for him.”
Psalm 8:3-4
“When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained, what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?”
