Well first let me say that I've been interested in astronomy for 40+ years. I used to believe in evolution and rejected anything about God. After becoming a Christian I had to re-learn my whole world view. So I searched out the bible to see God saying glorious and amazing things about the Cosmos as I'd heard Carl Sagan say so many times. So what do I find:
Gen 1:14 Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. 16 Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. 17 God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
So little glorification from God of the universe. It tells me a lot about the glory of the universe vs the glory of God. The fact that it seems to be a side note on the 4th day shows the lack of importance of the cosmos compared to all the rest that the bible says about God and His plan for man.
Does it really make sense from the perspective of some distant planet made on the 4th day that there is a plan for life and salvation etc?
There's a very simple answer, really: For us, that distant planet circling around a star is just a curiosity, and the light from its star does what God says in Genesis - provide light for us....
...and our planet and sun do the same for them.
Our bible was written for us - when put on sheep skin some 3300 years ago, it was for the benefit of a nomadic people with little in the way of scientific knowledge - why would it necessarily have to include detailed acknowledgement of life elsewhere? Weren't (and aren't) our challenges here on Earth enough to keep us busy trying to make ourselves less imperfect, without dragging aliens into the mix?
As Schroeder shows in "Genesis and the Big Bang," the Bible accurately traces through the history of the Cosmos (or, more precisely, science proves what God said in the Bible). But how can you say that it is impossible that there is a similar Bible for aliens far from here? Again, don't limit God. Their Bible could detail the same opening sequence of cosmic events, including the creation of other stars to shine light on THEM, and then just have a different set of Patriarchs and Matriarchs (or whatever, depending on the nature of their biology), plus the events that followed - as would make sense for THEM.
