However, I believe you are drawing a rather flawed conclusion regarding other planets and the possibility of life elsewhere. The lack of biblical details concerning non-terran events does not mean that those events did not happen, IMHO. Additionally, the quotation of the bible regarding God sending his only son to earth does not preclude life elsewhere. It only precludes that his son (human male child) has not been there - which would be entirely likely if some non-terran life form was not human, would it not? Even the verse from Genesis regarding man being created in the image of God doesn't mean life is terran only.
Also, please understand I am not debating the validity of your beliefs, or the bible. I am debating your interpretations of inferences.
This is a flawed argument. It is the same as the Catholic who invents hundreds of doctrines about Mary and says that just because the Bible doesn't say them doesn't mean that they aren't true. When the bible puts the rest of the universe at the feet of the earth regarding creation, that is all it needs to say. One must reject the whole 6 day creation and substitute some theistic evolution theory to allow any possiblity of importance to the rest of the universe.

All I can think to say is that this is like saying, "So other than that, Mrs Lincoln, how was the show?". It is surreal.

You are probably quite uncomfortable with the 6 day creation interpretation. Atleast, I assume this. There are certainly a lot of church goers who no longer believe this.
