Re: Are Aliens Real?

Money love you said: If there are aliens they are watching our television and want nothing to do with us.
I can accept the possibility of aliens. The probability of them visiting us is nil considering the incredible distances they would have to travel. That life exists elsewhere in the universe is to me without question. Intelligent or self aware lifeforms? Maybe. It's all conjecture. There is no proof. I cannot imagine however that the wonders of this world could be a singular event. Given the mind boggling expanses of space to me its a given that there is life elsewhere. To assume its humanoid in any respect is ridiculous. Theres no x-files aliens or klingons out there running around. If we were to find intelligent life it would probably be intelligent in the way that a dolphin is. Organised social groups and language development but completely held hostage by the environment it evolved in and unable to build a magic spaceship that travels faster than light and visits other planets but doesnt stop in to say hi.
These are the statements by atheists that seem to contradict their idea that there is no possibility for God to exist. So just to clarify, Monkey love, you are open to intelligent life, possible self aware life forms, open to the possibility of aliens, but closed to the idea of a God existing? You even say that life existing somewhere else in this universe is without question...this seems to be a contradiction in thought and I was wondering if you could comment on it because perhaps I am missing something. Furthermore, you also say that to assume its humanoid is ridiculous...how is it ridiculous as most atheists believe in the theory of evolution? If you believe in evolution and the scientific time model as to how long the universe has been around, wouldn't it make sense that a being could evolve more than humans? Seems silly to think evolution only began with our planet, with the pre-existing timeline of the entire universe. I don't see how you can claim science as your reasoning and yet cancel out other humanoids and God ? Just doesn't make sense to me. Let me know your thoughts.
