I agree with you 100%, and I’m Catholic, but also agree that the Bible simply doesn’t mention it.
Why the author had to come up with separate views for different Christians makes no sense as (and I don’t want to argue—but Catholics believe the Bible, too) all Christianity is based on Scripture.
What about mainline Protestants? What about Orthodox Christians?
I would contend that Roman Catholics, Evangelists, Mainline and Orthodox would all naturally have the same view, which is, there is no mention in the Bible about life elsewhere from Earth, and the Bible is focused on MAN’S relationship with God, and man is a being on Earth.
Exactly, Scripture tells us just what we need to know to establish a relationship with God and find salvation. How could an all knowing being give us a compendium of all there is to know? There are SO many things that we would LIKE to know that simply aren't addressed in Scripture. I would think that anyone who has done even a minimal amount of Bible study would know this first hand, since it's happened to me more times than I can count. I am quite surprised that any believing Christians would dogmatically think that extraterrestrial life is in conflict with Christian belief.
