ATHIESTS...Why will many of you consider the existence of aliens, UFOs,ghosts?

Question

I don't understand how so many athiests will consider the possibility of beings existing outside our planet and even in the spiritual realm but won't consider the possibility of a Creator of humans and our universe who loves us and whom we can have a relationship.
Is it really more believable that intelligent little green men are going to someday take over the world than to believe in a God whose evidence we see everyday all around us?

Most of my friends are either atheist or agnostic and nearly all of them believe in one or all of the above.
Most of you believe in intelligent life or some sort of life outside our planet. You have no proof of this, yet you believe.
Everything has a creator, nothing just popped into existence itself, especially not the amazing creation we exist within. Not only can we see evidence for God all around us in creation, in our children, answers to prayer, miracles but we have evidence in the bible, in thousands of predictions proven by SCIENCE and ARCHAEOLOGY to be written hundreds of years before they occured- with many yet to occur.
But because it would interfere with the way many choose to live their lives, they wont consider the possibility. Im not trying to ram anything down anyone's throat, just expressing my point of view (which also happens to be the TRUTH) as most people do on these message boards. If you actually look for the evidence it is there. Read Skeptics Search for God

Answer 1

I believe that there is a possibility that there is life on other planets. We just do not have the scientific technology to prove it. Who said that aliens were green? I most certainly did not.

I do most certainly believe in ghosts though, but I have had experience, I have had my proof.

I was not given the full chance the have that relationship that you speak of, and boy did I try. It was people like you that try to shove their religion and beliefs down ones throat that made me become an Agnostic Atheist. I've no time to go into that though.

Answer 2

Well when looking at this question you must observe a few things.

Religions claim that there is a vast, omnipotent, omnicient god that created and is maintaining everything in the universe. That's a big claim. There is not a shred of evidence to support such a theory.

Aliens are not as big. If you can consider the vastness of the universe, billions of light years long, and consider how many galaxies and planets there are, then you question how is it possible that like doesn't exist on other planets. While the chance of life is so low, it is made up for by the fact that there are so many billions of planets out there.

Anyone who believies in ghosts and such are stupid.

Creator who loves us and we can have a relationship? You love the idea so much don't you? Someone out there, bigger than you apparently, looks after you, and loves you, and that makes you feel good. But you can get that same exact feeling by being loved by other humans, and they'll at times do more for you than praying or whatever.

EDIT: Terribly sorry but I did not fully answer your question.

The possibility that there is life on any given planet is very low. However, if you go to every planet and search it with the same possibility, then you will eventually end up with a planet that has life. It's like rolling dice. You might not get it the first time... or the thousandth time... or the millionth time, but statistically you will eventually roll those 10 6's.

You are absolutely correct on that: Nothing just pops into existence. Not now in the universe we live in, at least. Since we live in such a univers it is hard to fathom what a universe unlike ours is. It may have completely different and changed laws of physics. Perhaps the universe that gave rise to our universe allowed for the creation of matter under certian circumstances, during an incredibly fast expansion. It's better than saying someone pointed a finger and it went BOOM!

How many of your prayers are actually answered? How many sick children have you prayed for that ended up dying? A study was done in which patients for a certian procedure were split into three groups: one was prayed for and knew about it, one was prayed for and did not know about it, and the other was not prayed for. They had the exact same rate of deaths and complications and etc. How many of those prayers did God answer? In reality, you could sit there and pray... or you could become a doctor or scientist and actually try to help the person.

Answer 3

My teacher is always talking about how there is such a thing as aliens and "other dimensions" but she doesn't believe in God.Scientists say how some astroid came out of nowhere and created Earth.If that's true,where did that asteroid come from?Whho sent it.Possibly,God.He took 6 days to create the universe and on the 7th day he rested.The bible doesn't lie.The bible says ghosts dont exist.Even if "Little Green Men" take over the world,we probably won't be here because God is coming quickly(Revelation 22:20-21)

Answer 4

I don't believe that aliens are little green men that are someday going to take over the planet.. but I do believe that there are life forms out there on other planets. If organisms can grow, survive, and evolve on this planet, why not others too? Sure, we don't have positive proof just like with gods and ghosts, etc.. but it's about the science of things and it is very likely that "aliens" exist.

Answer 5

no im sorry dear i dont belief in nothing its sad cause sometimes people want something to belief and everything they find is just not what their quite looking for .on a whole if there is a planet like ours then there is another somewhere but i dont think there is a god im a bit of an evoltionist so thats right out some stuff is believeable who am i to they there wasnt a man who believed in some thing so much that he would die for if thats the case then im sure there must of been cause people do it everyday and its really a shame to die for something you shoul dbe able to live for it dieing is some thing we should be able to control much more so than we are right now, no i dont think there is a god i dont think there is little green men and i dont except any form of reincarnation, just a planet full of people doing what they want and others doing what there told and other doing what they have to and others doing stuff cause they really have nothing better to do

Answer 6

I have seen ufos, I have no idea what they were, however their speed, & maneuvering were so much, much more advanced than what we have, that they could not have been from here. This has nothing to do with little green men taking the world over. I do not believe in "ghosts", IE, dead people floating around. But there are many strange things that we cannot account for. There is the same amount of evidence for a god that there is for unicorns. None. Man created god in order to convince him\herself that death is not real.

Answer 7

Who said I believed aliens were little green men?

I think it's arrogant not to assume that if there is life here there ISN'T life somewhere else in a universe this size.

Will we ever see it? Probably not. The distances are too great. That life might be nothing like our's. But consider the almost infinite number of stars.....I think it's logical to assume that life formed somewhere.

I don't believe in UFOs or ghosts. They seem just as silly as God to me.

It isn;t even the concept of a higher power that I find silly...it's the Christian concept of God that I find incredibly silly. I also find it immoral in many ways.

Answer 8

I think that life is probably not all that hard to start. And even if it is with trillions of stars it makes life, even intelligent life, elsewhere a statistical sure bet.

Now I don't think they are coming here now. I am not worried about little green men. I don't believe in ghosts. I really don't believe in much spiritual outside of using a few relaxation techniques. And I see no measurable evidence of god. Good feelings just don't cut it.

Answer 9

because there's a huge difference between intelligent life on other planets and an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, onmibenevolent being that created all of existence...

As for the ethereal realm (which, if I'm not mistaken is simply another name for the astral plane of existence), it does make more sense to have another plane of existence that overlaps our own than a god.

God is simply stretching one's brain to the extremes. As for that proof we see everday, can you give any examples that can't be proven otherwise by science?

Answer 10

First of all there is a big difference between believing in the possibility of intelligent life outside of our solar system. Considering the number of other star systems and galaxies I think its quite likely life has developed elsewhere. Do I think they are kidnapping drunken red-necks and doing anal probes on them? No, I don't. I also don't believe in ghosts or other supernatural phenomenon. I don't know a single other atheist that does either. I would suggest you find some atheist friends so you will know what we are about.

Wait! AUUUGGGHHHHH! I see a little green man above me! Oh no! Please don't take over the earthGazoo!
