Remember, it's just an opinion, but I think it's more likely that God is a reality, but a close second, given the two options, would be "aliens".
When you consider the literally billions of planets in the universe, if even a small number of those were capable of sustaining life, then the odds would be overwhelming that "we are not alone".

Is doesn't have to be one or the other, they can both exist. If the universe is as big as scientists say it is (I have my doubts about that, and the whole "moon thing". That's a joke. The moon is real.) then aliens and other life forms must exist, it's only logical. There has to be another planet out there that has livable conditions, we are NOT ALONE haha.
And then, if all these things exist, there's no way they all started from a few particles of dust banging together (aka The Big Bang simplified) how could the big bang have led to eyebrows? Or fingernails? How could that all be put down to chance? How come evolution didn't rid men of their nipples? They don't need them! LOL
If we all evolved into intelligent life forms, why are there such things as slugs and snails- I mean seriously what is the point to slugs and snails? Seriously? Why haven't they evolved? SERIOUSLY? That was so God's idea of a joke.
So that is why I think that there are aliens. There has to be. There is a God. Most definitely. Otherwise evolution screwed us over.

Alien life is more likely.
I cannot see how a god can possibly exist, god is a tool used by people to explain things they cannot.
But with Alien life, there is a possibility that out of all the planets in an infinate space, there might be one which has had a similiar chain of events to ours which has started to produce life.
I don't think they come here and land in wiltshire and make patterns in corn though :)

They are both real. To think that we exist alone in the great expanse of the universe is pretty naive. To think that all of this is created by fluke would be even more naive. This isn't the only universe, nor is it a singular plain. I think that God exists for everyone in the same way that aliens do. All things being equal...it's all relative to the circumstance.

I say Aliens are more likely to be real, because to me, god does not exist.

As God does not originate from this planet it would technically make God an alien.
Therefore if you think God is real, then at least one alien is real.
If you don't believe in God but in aliens, God could be an alien that you have yet to encounter.
In my opinion to believe that life (in whatever shape or form) only exists on our planet makes someone narrow minded with the universe being so vast with all the unexplored planets etc in it.

God. We have more 'evidence' (both historically and quantitatively) concerning the existence of God. Also, our existence partly hinges (at least to most of the world) upon God's existence rather than that of e.t. Furthermore, God's existence gives meaning and purpose to our lives, as well as the hope of an afterlife, whereas aliens just stimulate our imagination and kind of scare us. Overall, I think I just prefer God to aliens. However, they aren't mutually exclusive. Perhaps God created aliens as well... if not, "then it's an awful waste of space!"

God. Definately. There is just no way that anything can be random, the possibility is way too small. Even in cynical terms, without believing in God, you must admit that the concept of God has been recorded from the beginning of records, whereas aliens are a recent addition. God has to real, otherwise nothing anywhere can be.

Unlike gods (and if you say "god" then you need to specify which one), there are no theoretical barriers to the existence of aliens. The existence of aliens involves no logical contradictions, no supernatural powers, and can occur under purely natural laws as did our evolution on this planet.
I personally don't think any aliens have visited this planet, but that's another matter.
