Don't you think this strange that some people believe aliens but not god? [Spirituality & Religion]

I thought that God/Allah etc was a word for a superior being??

Given what we understand of the nature of the universe, and of ourselves, it is actually highly probable that there is life somewhere else out there, and we are but an example, and we can make a best educated guess on that end, without yet presented with the hard evidence, we can say that is likely.
The existence of god, on the other hand, has no evidential backing, and does not even lend itself to the probable.

@mougywolf: well yeah there's proof of god! Look at the Bible! God's CHILDREN wrote that book! There's a chapter in it that.. you know.. says god exists and stuff.. and it said that God made us and the sun and stuff like that! God did it and he made his children write the Bible as proof that you know.. like he exists and stuff

@mougywolf: haha you guys are funny. First thanks for answering I always like hearing what other people think and am opened minded and willing to see things from other people point of view. So here is my thoughts (the sane version at least :p )

You say your answer is based on what you know about the nature of the universe and ourself... but that is the first problem, what do you personally know about the nature of the universe or even yourself apart from what you have been told by others? You might have seen some experiments to back up a theory in physics or whatever but even you know we live in a world where if you look hard enough you can find information in bits and pieces to back up anything you already have your mind set on. In fact the word "fact" doesn't mean something is set in stone, it's just the most accepted theory and has not been proved wrong yet e.g ( it's was once a fact that they world was flat and that come from experts)

So don't you think that it's crazy that we accept without question these "facts" told to us by other people based on the effects of things we know nothing about
