Any knowledge that there might be a GOD of the Universe, yet they are open to the idea that there might be evidence of people on other planets?
People have said they have seen UFO's okay, but who nativagting the UFO's maybe it's GOD's Angels...And who would of created Aliens on other planets? Maybe Aliens are Angels? why is that not possible?

You miss one of the fundamental rules of science: supernatural explanations are not allowed. Before you dismiss that as closed-minded you really need to understand what the word supernatural means.
To answer your question, the matter of the existence of UFOs and the existence of god are based on probability. We know life can exist in the universe. The more planets there are in the universe the more likely it is that life exists elsewhere. There are probably billions of planets in the universe. Therefore it is at least not improbable that life could exist elsewhere.
Have you ever seen a scientist definitively claim there is life on other planets? Of course not. That's because, just like the claim of god's existence, there isn't any evidence to support it.
The fact that you've mentioned angels makes me think you're too young to understand anything I've said anyway.

While I do not discount the possibility of life on other worlds (aliens) I find it highly unlikely. You are so quick to think of aliens as angels yet discount the obvious idea that maybe your god was an alien from another world and life on earth was the result of either colonization or some strange lab experiment by these creatures

No... because the difference lies in the realm of probability.
With the way we know worlds and whatnot are formed, how they support life, and the size of the known universe, it's probable that there's life on other worlds.
When it comes to religion, there is no evidence outside of heresay and personal accounts, making it very IMprobable that there is any sort of supernatural deity out there, especially one as depicited by human religion.
As for those who say they've seen UFO's, they're in the same boat as those who say they've seen Angels, or God.
They're crackpots with no way to prove it, thus they're unreliable at best and outright liars at worse.
ANYTHING is "possible", but just because it's possible doesn't mean it's probable. And the real world and science work on probabilities, wheras religion works on faith and the faulty assumption that there are any certainties in the world.

You are getting it wrong. Science (and most flavors of atheism) do NOT discount the possibility that there might be a god outside the OBERVABLE universe. They merely state that the existence (or non-existence) of such a god is irrelevant and not needed to explain the observable universe, or to establish moral codes.
Scientists are only open to the idea of extraterrestrial life because there is plenty of OBSERVABLE evidence that suggests such life may be likely. If such life does exist, it could one day be observed. God, however, cannot be observed whether he does exist or not. That's the crucial difference. Most scientists think god is a waste of time because there is no evidence to prove either way.

Science has never said god doesn't not exist. Science has shown no proof of god existing. No religious sect has brought forth ANY proof that has stood up to the basic questions of scientific scrutiny.
Life on other planets is mathamatically provable. Just like if you throw a ball at a window and it bounces off eventually you will break the window it just may take a billions tries.

Actually, as an Atheist i'm pretty skeptical of UFO's and aliens as well. Who would have created Aliens was one of your question. They would have come about much the same way we would. Through years of development and evolution on another planet. They may be different because their planetary differences may be different, but I don't think we should discount life on another planet altogether. I mean, it may even be something simplistic such as bacteria.

Maybe we were taught about angels so that we wouldn't be afraid if aliens. But you're right, we are not alone and if God created us, He must have created everything else in the universe.

What if they are not angels?
What are you gonna do about that?
What if UFO's are not even real?
There is no proofs that god exist.There is proofs that other planets exists.No evidence of aliens yet.

No, most religions would press their views on you. Atheist don't care to we're to busy living our only life on Earth. Maybe there is a God, maybe not. Do you let that affect weather or not you're a good person?

your whole argument is completely circular and you're floundering deeper and deeper on the ASSUMPTION that there's a God.....well,comparing the 2,aliens seem to be a much more logical possibility that a creator "poofing" the universe! and no,don't even start on the "human eye argument" because that's just another step to DISprove your God!
