How can people believe in aliens yet at the same time not believe in God?

Im not seeing the sense in that. I see most people here believe there is life out there. Where do you think those aliens came from? The chances of our existance were slim but the chances of it happening AGAIN is even slimmer. If aliens were real, would that prove God is real?

You sir, have no idea how big the universe is or how it works.

Even if the chance was 1 in a billion there would be hundreds of thousands of planets containing life... and that's only in the part of the universe that is visible to us.

Because aliens would exist in this universe, and we would probably be able to interact with them. God is supernatural and not of this universe. Merely a concept applied to things that have natural explanations.

In no way would finding aliens prove God exists. That's like saying seeing Rick Astley live in concert proves why chocolate tastes good.

This.

This:

Fun fact: Based on our understanding of physics, the larege yellow/white spiral galaxy in the bottom right-hand corner is too large to exist.

because the probability that life exists on other planets orbiting stars similar to ours makes sence . we can see the others stars in space. it is FACT that their are millions of stars in millions of galaxies. their is no fact or evidence for god.nimatoad2000

Evidence? We got that. Theres this thing called the Bible. Theres also the cross on that hill where Jesus died.

Nobody can see God. Everybody can look up at night and see stars. Please, just stop.

It's based on the probability of aliens existing. Also, it's a counter argument to the argument that if I logically conclude there is a chance for aliens to exist, I must also believe in God.

Sure there are plenty of good things that come from our strive of knowledge but look at all the crap that came with it. Wer'e ****ing up the planet, wer'e finding new ways to kill other humans (chemical warfare), and humanity as a whole is becoming lazier.

The fact that there are trillions of stars in our known galaxy isn't enough for you?

If aliens exist, they can be explained naturally. If aliens do exist, that does not prove the existence of God.Genetic_Code

Are you telling me there is a 0% chance that any of the info in the Bible is inaccurate or a lie? What makes you think this book was written to lie to the masses? Maybe your'e wrong.

[QUOTE="harashawn"][QUOTE="guynamedbilly"] That's true, but saying "it's cloudy, it's going to rain tomorrow" is a more likely scenario and more reasonable argument than "I have a special relationship with the candy-maker, gummy bears will fall from the sky tomorrow."deadevil666

Religion offers unity with your brothers and sisters. It offers second chances to those that think theyve hit rock bottom. It gives hope. Hope, unity, and redemption>> science and technology. Anyways if us humans keep trying to find answers we might end up doing something stupid that screws up everything weve been working for. Of course this is just slight paranoia and pessimism. I realize that lots of good has come the technology weve created. Theres also been a helluva lot of bad too.

Just because a book exists doesn't mean its true, also it has been a proven fact that Jesus existed and was crusified, it has not however been proven that a God exists and that Jesus was the son of God. :|
