(a) God specifically created Earth and humanity, thus there's no need for think that similar forces would do the same thing elsewhere.
(b) Adam's Fall affected the entire universe (which is why it's such a mean place), and Jesus only appeared once and for all here on Earth to offer salvation (because that's what the Bible says), thus extraterrestrial aliens could not possible be saved because they don't know Jesus, thus all of them would be going to Hell, and why would God do that?
Well, great, now that that's settled we can shut down SETI and most of the space program and save a little money. Thanks, Ken!
(I have to say that the thing I am now most looking forward to from contact with an extraterrestrial intelligence, should such a thing happen, is not the technology boost or anything like that, but watching Ken Ham's head 'splode.)

“We’ll find a new earth within 20 years” | Around the World with Ken Ham
I’m shocked at the countless hundreds of millions of dollars that have been spent over the years in the desperate and fruitless search for extraterrestrial l
Of course, secularists are desperate to find life in outer space…
I wouldn't say that. It would be nice, but there's no desperation.
You see, according to the secular, evolutionary worldview there must be other habited worlds out there. As the head of NASA, Charles Borden, puts it, “It’s highly improbable in the limitless vastness of the universe that we humans stand alone.”
Um… Those two statements are contradictory. "Highly improbable" does not mean "impossible.' Also, "habited" does not mean what you think it means. Dictionaries are your friends.
You see, the Bible makes it clear that Adam’s sin affected the whole universe.
Not to me, it doesn't. Exactly where does it say that? And just what did the ancients think the universe was? Didn't it stop at the firmament, that dome over the Earth that the stars were affixed to?
I wish people like this would stop trying to tell me what I believe.
