Previously unknown lifeforms does not mean they are alien lifeforms. It means they are unknown as of now. They have to be fully tested and proved alien. Planets with conditions life could exist? Yes, but has life been found on other planets yet? No. So your argument is moot.

I have the solid faith that on a certain planet aliens exist and I know they do not believe in god.

See, I told y'all. Aliens = demons. How predictable was that?

First of all - please don't say things are "retarded" or people are "retarded." It's offensive to those who are mentally handicapped. Second of all - I think you are a bit confused as to what an atheist is. An atheist is someone who does not believe in theism - or God or gods. Atheism has nothing to do with the supernatural. There are atheists that probably believe in the supertnatural and atheists that don't - those beliefs are not defined by their atheism. Thirdly, aliens are not automatically classified as supernatural beings. Usually, when people refer to aliens, they are referring to lifeforms on other planets. Think about it this way - if there was a planet that had life on it - to them, we would be aliens. If there are lifeforms on other planets - it's possible that they could be just like us. It doesn't take a belief in the supernatural to believe in the possibility of aliens. I believe in evolution and I believe that this could have occurred on other planets, not just our own. I believe that there very well could be forms of life on other planets - I do not believe that they would be supernatural - and this has no bearing on whether or not I believe in God.

Once I was in love with a demon. All this talk about demons brings back her memory. My eyes fill with tears. Please stop!

No, it's to do with the 'balance of probability'.

Where in the Bible does it reference to the possibility of another alien life form?

According to Genesis;

24 And God said: 'Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind.' And it was so.

25 And God made the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good

It seems that the Bible only refers to and assumes that there is only life here on earth.

Angels are described as extraterrestrial beings and they fit in just fine. in fact, they are dsecribed as having witnessed God's creation of the earth and reacting by shouting in applause.

Quote:
''When the morning stars joyfully cried out together, and all the bands of angels began shouting in applause?”—Job 38:7
Being present at that time takes their existence back approx three to four billion years. That doesn't exclude their having witnessed the creation of other life sustaining worlds and having done the same-of course.

Well, mormons have E.T. covered anyway:

And worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten. --Pearl of Great Price, Moses 1:33

It would seem that way. But the Bible also mentions principalities and evil forces in high places. And also mentions outer darkness. Which we know is outer space. It's left up to the interpretation of the individual what you believe. I believe these aliens exist. But I believe they are none other than demons in disguise.
