It doesn't, but the Bible does say plenty about Jesus Christ. Such as that He died once for us and will not die again. As such, if there are aliens out there that need saving it won't be Jesus saving them by dying for them. So :I don't think the Bible says anything about this. So, it's all speculation.
Well, if you want to say that satan, angels etc are physical aliens from other planets, then I cannot agree. .
I look at it like this. If there are alien beings on other planets, they were obviously created by God
I also believe they would be similar in form, with some differences relating to their environment. Remember, man was formed from the dust of the earth, and any alien would be formed from the dust/substance of their world. And in some way we'd both reflect the image of God. This also means... they would equally be as capable, or perhaps predisposed to being evil, as we are.
True. Which means that like the Angels and like Adam and Eve - they had choices to make.
Many of the angels in heaven chose not to sin. Just as the planets (except for this one) chose not to sin.
Adam and Eve were predisposed to good , not to evil. God created them without any defect. Just as He created the Angels without any defect.
I believe it is possible that an alien race didn't fall as human kind has. However, I think it is equally possible that they did, which could be very very bad for us should our civilizations encounter one another.
I look at it like this... we encountered civilizations here on earth we didn't know about when we began exploring the Americas. We, the invaders, were far more advanced and leveled nearly all opposition. Not to mention, smallpox and our diseases wiped them out by the millions. Alien civilizations might very well exist... and the last thing we might want to do is invite a large scale encounter with them.
So that tells us that while your conclusion is correct - all things considered - as to what would happen if God did not step in and interrupt the encounter. The Bible tells us that He did do that very thing instead of letting it go to its natural conclusion
- Well we know some of them fell - because we know that 1/3 of the angels fell.
- We know that the ones that fell- came here - because Rev 12 and Job 1 (and Rom 5) tell us that.
- We know that God took charge even in that very bad situation and has not allowed evil angels to "Take over the place" as even Satan admits in Job 1.
Agreed that something bad would happen. The Bible describes angels as a more capable, more advanced race of sentient life - than humanity and when you read about their power and wisdom in the Bible it is clear that the 2 humans in Eden, or the 8 humans at the end of the flood - or tiny-humanity at any point along the way - was always "easy pickings" for them. God did not allow a total take over.
So what we have is the supernatural element that God adds - changing the balance of power (on a planet already invaded by evil angels).
Well we know some of them fell - because we know that 1/3 of the angels fell.
Are you equating alien civilizations with angels?
I believe angels are an entirely different form of being created by God in Heaven before the Creation was created. Alien would simply life forms created on other planets as a part of the Creation.
Angels are not God - they are sentient life created by God and are not from earth. That is all I need for the term "alien life - sentient life outside of earth".
And they address the issue of sentient life , not from the earth, that is fallen. That came here - that has already invaded Earth, that is more advanced than we are.
I know some people like to think of them as not part of the created universe - but I don't see how such speculation is logical given what we know about both the Universe from science and the angels from the Bible.
If these are alien beings from another world why do they fly around teasing us about their existence but strangely not willing to sit down, talk and develop a relationship with us? Why is it that they and their craft seem to blink in and out of existence? Giving credence to the theory that demonic beings can change their appearance but cannot maintain this transformation indefinitely?In the article below -- Angels are listed as a class of alien life... intelligent life that is not God and that did not originate from Earth

So, you believe what we call "alien life" to be angelic beings?
Well by saying worlds it follows that it also means galaxies, and solar systems as you need them to have other planets. However i hope you do note that the bible stops short of saying "God created the worlds and then He created life on them".Yes and no.
But "no" I don't believe that all sentient life in the universe is merely angels - Heb 11 says "God created the WORLDS" not just "this one World". The equivalent our "Adam" shows up for each one of those other worlds in Job 1 when all the sons of God gather and Lucifer/satan is there representing Earth.
However i hope you do note that the bible stops short of saying "God created the worlds and then He created life on them".

You are just assuming that and not even recognizing that you are assuming it. Not a good way to back up an argument or pov. Also in your reply you had to preface worlds with 'home' so even that acknowledges the point i made.In the Bible there is no such thing as a world with no beings on it. Stars etc yes - but when it uses the "World" term it means a place with beings on it. No exceptions.
Even we today have a similar distinction between a planet and a home "World".

You are just assuming that
Well, Venus, Mars, Jupiter etc are all worlds, none of which have any life. You are clutching at straws & you must be the only person in the world (ie earth) that holds the opinions you espouse regarding worlds, aliens & spiritual beings, founded on assumptions no one else makes.That is merely a fact. It can be easily tested by finding one single reference to some world that is not inhabited in the Bible. The Bible mentions no such thing. Actually that is not true since I offer the obvious test of that stated fact.
If they do exist and eventually appear they will most defiantly be fallen angels. At least two Christian ministry’s speak about this and the encounters through out history. The government has been involved at least since the 1940s. You are aware of the alleged encounter and treaty President Eisenhower made with these creatures?In the article below -- Angels are listed as a class of alien life... intelligent life that is not God and that did not originate from Earth
What Can the Bible Tell Us about Mysteries Like Aliens and UFOs?.
Here is a Baptist news webite looking at the same question
With all this talk of UFOs, what's a Christian to think? – Baptist News Global
from that website
"Thus, Christians are once again having conversations about what it would mean for Christian theology if we receive confirmation of alien life beyond earth. Obama even speculated this week that “new religions would pop up."
Heb 1 says God created "the world" through Christ.
He created it and all life on it - in 7 days according to Gen 2:1-3 and Ex 20:11
Heb 11:1-3 says He "created the WORLDS"
From the Bible it appears that only this world fell into sin. So whatever sentient life is how there - it is not composed of sinners and therefore is not harmful, which means it is not separated from God the Creator -- according to the Bible.
On the other hand both Matt 24 and Rev 13 - along with 2 Thess 2 tell us that Satan deceives the entire world at the end - by amazing signs and wonders. And Satan is most certainly an alien that is "hostile"
