The Bible doesn't definitively state that the only life is the life on Earth, angels, and God, but it can be inferred.

If there is extraterrestrial life--in the way the article is referring to--that life would end at the end. Such extraterrestrials, if intelligent, would not have souls. God died for Mankind, and by God becoming human Mankind was given a way to salvation (kinsman redeemer).

Wowzers. God died? So when Christ was in the tomb, there was no God? Doubt it, eh?

So you stand there and call these theoretical beings kafir, as the Islamonuts do. Who made you Pope?

Damn good thing the weak force is 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times weaker than the strong force, and if it were 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,001 times or 99,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 times, the universe couldn’t support stars, planets or life.

(36 digits of precision - and this is almost inconceivable to be an accident if there is only one universe and the universe is random)

There is no conceivable reason these values are so precise.

Everything else we know of in physics allows a few percent variance (1 to 5) and stars, planets, and life could still exist.

Infer away those who know the mind of God; just don’t count on being even remotely close. God applied this value to the entire universe.

False prophets know everything. That is the easiest way to spot them. Please explain to me why God applied this value to the entire universe. Also, please hint as to how big you think the universe is.

I need a good laugh.

Couple of points here.

First of all, if there is extra terrestrial life, it doesn't automatically mean intelligent life. In fact, if life is as common as some think it is, I'd imagine lower forms would be far more common than sentient ones.

Secondly, if we did encounter sentient lifeforms, I think we'd do well to assume that they did have souls. Because if we assumed they didn't and we were wrong, we open the door, at minimum, to not telling them the Truth as we've received it. But we also open the door to unspeakable atrocities. It's easy to turn a blind eye to the suffering of a person whom you don't believe has a soul. See Roe v Wade.
