Do you believe in aliens? Do you believe in God? Would your belief in aliens contradict your belief in God? I don't know the answer....I do believe in God. I think it would be very selfish and self centered of us to assume that we were the only planit in this whole vast universe that God decided to populate with life.

I do think that some wheres in the universe there is another planet with life and that the government already knows that aliens exist its just that they are covering it up and they don't want the general public to know about there existence.

I believe in God the father almighty who create heaven and earth. That HE help us in our daily needs and answer our prayers. But I can't also deny the fact that sometime I like to believe that there are aliens who would like to explore our planet. And that's what i get watching extra celestial movies ^___^

The universe is so vast that the chances are so small there isn't other intelligent life, its uncountable. Thee have to be more intelligent species out there, and for any person to suggest there aren't is just stupid and arrogant.

Thats the one thing I truly think about when people compare God to alien arguments. Many people I've encountered do not believe in aliens because God created humanity in his own image only (or words to such extent). I always question them on the following: why no belief in aliens and a belief God created humanity and life on earth only? More importantly, you do realize by saying god didn't or couldn't create life on other planets you are actually limiting the Almighty? This almost always gets them thinking. Many considered my argument seriously, along with my religious relation to other scientific occurrences on Earth. A couple of hardline followers don't even acknowledge my assertion, but that's okay.
I find its much better to keep knowledge and possibilities open even if one has adopted a religion. The key to religion is not just self-guidance, answers to questions, and atonement for mortal sin, but the discovery/introspection of the self, society, the world and eventually newer questions in all of these things.
