pete, the Hubble space telescope has already found several hundred planets orbiting nearby stars. There is no reason to supposed that life could not develop on other planets.

Life has developed here on earth in places you would never expect life could exist. Such as around the "black smokers" along the mid-Atlantic ridge. There is no reason to believe that it could not develop on other terrestrial planets like earth elsewhere in the universe.

It is not Biblical, because those who wrote the Bible were absolutely clueless as to astronomy, but to deny the possibility is to believe in a LIMITED God, not the Infinite, All-Powerful, Omniscient God that could have--and DID--create the Cosmos and all that's in it.

The god you believe in is a puny twerp compared to the Creator of the Universe as it actually IS.
