aliens' existence vs God's existence?

Question

Why do most people rather believe in aliens' existence than God's existence? When someone presents to the public about aliens, it is most likely believed than when someone preaches about God and His love.

Answer 1

First of all, it depends on the context in which you mean aliens. If you're talking flying saucers and little green men, that's just sci-fi garbage. But if you're talking about the idea of intelligent life on another planet, I'm all for it. Because we exist here on Earth, we know for a fact there is "intelligent" life in the universe. And given the vastness of the universe and the number of other stars, I don't think it's a stretch to believe life exists in many different places.

But when you talk about God and His love, you're talking about something that is purely hypothetical and based on faith rather than any true understanding of the universe. I don't dismiss the idea of a higher power, but it seems unlikely and there just isn't a way to know.

It's not a matter of which I would "rather" believe in; it's a matter of what makes more sense and seems more logical. Furthermore, I don't see the idea of God and life on other planets as being mutually exclusive - unless you want to believe this supreme being created all the universe but decided to put life on just his one little planet on the outer edges of this one galaxy out of all the other billions of billions of possiblilities.

Answer 2

Why do not we prove other gods as well then.

If Christian God is provable, then I believe a lot of other gods's existence are proveable as well.

We don't know much about Alien however there is possibility that there are the planet out there with life ( even if God throw die, there is high possibility )

however, to prove Christian God existance is difficult since Word of God was written by human. Rather than God.
- If it's word of GOD then should had written on the something that would last longer , by mean of no human can write, so it's the prove and prove that God is powerful.

Answer 3

Better yet, why cant both exist? There is more than one religion but all based on one supreme being. So why cant there be more than one planet of people all believing in one supreme being? Not everything in the bible is as it was written. I.E. 40 days and 40 nights is not literaly that. That is an expression used in the day to define a long period of time. It could have been a month or 2 weeks. Just saying that there could be more than one human tpye existence that all believe the same thing.

Answer 4

I have to disagree with your statement that more people believe in aliens than in god. I'm sure there are far more people who believe in a god.
But if you look at it objectively, there is more evidence to support the existance of aliens than of god. For example, there are many photographs of UFOs. Can you show me a photo of god? Hundreds, maybe even thousands of credible eyewitnesses describe the appearance of aliens in a very consistent way. Who can describe what god looks like?
I can't say I believe in gods OR aliens because I've never personally seen or experienced either. But I do have to say that, objectively, the UFO people are way ahead of the god people in terms of supporting their point with some evidence.

Answer 5

Because the statistical probability that there is life elsewhere is pretty much a sure bet. There are hundreds of trillions of chances so even very long odds make it nearly a sure bet. Further, because we are here it is certain at some level of chance.

Now, I have do doubt that they aren't already coming here. People have watched way too much Star Trek and underestimate how big the Universe really is.

On the other hand there is no reason to think that there is a god. There is no evidence at all, and there is no demonstrated example like there is for intelligent life.

Answer 6

It's easier to belief aliens because of the vast universe and all the planets within. There are trillions of systems with planets. We question the existence of god because we have no proof that he exist. But I will tell you this, everyone will turn to God at least one time in there life. When people reached the end and find a situation hopeless, they will turn to God for help. Isn't that funny.

Answer 7

It is easier for people to believe in aliens then God because they need not have to do anything with aliens, or change their lifestyles. If they believed in God, then they would have to make a conscious decision to follow Him or not. People know they are in the wrong but don't want to change. They fell if they run long enough then they wont have to make that decision.

Answer 8

If some aliens are more advanced than us, as no doubt many are, they will believe in God even more strongly than we do. Logic and our best thinking produces a fuzzy picture of God and keener minds would without doubt see Him in much clearer light. Aliens exist and so does the God of all beings in the universe which includes us and all advanced space travellers. Kapish?

Answer 9

I need evidence to agree with something.

There is no evidence for god.

There is no evidence for aliens, but the presence of liquid water on other worlds (oceans beneath the surface of Mars and Europa) and the Billions of planets in our universe makes it *possible* that species may exist in other places.

That's not exactly jumping to Star Trek, but it's possible. Look at Earth. It's obviously possible for life to develop in this universe, and other planets could meet the requirement for it.

Answer 10

Actually, I think that people are more likely to believe in the God superstition. This is strange, because aliens are much more believable than God. We have one example of intelligent life evolving and learning how to send stuff into space, namely us. On the other hand, there are no examples of any real gods and no evidence that there are any.

Of course, while the chance of aliens is quite high given the unbelievable number of stars in the myriad galaxies in the universe, it is still highly unlikely that any of them appeared in the tiny flash of time close enough to a tiny speck of dust where we reside to notice us.
