God Versus Aliens
George Carlin once said the evidence for aliens/extra-terrestrials was stronger than the evidence for god. I think this is true.
This is the problem with god, in a nutshell:
So, my thinking is, there are many very weird things in this world and in history that just cannot be explained by natural events, i.e. the standard scientific view of reality and our planet and life here. Many people think these supernatural events can be explained by "god". Logically however, god makes no sense as an all-powerful deity that can perform magical deeds in response to humans.
What does make more sense for the origin of these super-natural events, appearances and actions is extra-terrestrials.
Given the vast number of stars in the universe capable of supporting life, it is a foregone conclusion that advanced life has developed elsewhere, probably many times over. Thus, it would be no surprise if they came here, for various reasons we both can and cannot imagine.

there must be dudes in our galaxy that have technology so superior to ours that they would seem like gods compared to us. and there must be other dudes in the universe whose technology is so superior to our gods that they are our god's gods.
damn, i am a profound genius. LOL.

"there must be dudes in our galaxy that have technology so superior to ours that they would seem like gods compared to us. and there must be other dudes in the universe whose technology is so superior to our gods that they are our god's gods." Probably!
the quote fails to mention the concept of choice - which includes the choice of humans to do evil.
that humans have the capacity to act in evil ways in no way disproves the existence of God.
likewise, that believers may be forgiven isn't proof of the existence of God.
In a way, the entire dark journey may be thought of as an experiment to see if humanity will make the choice to have Faith or not.
Belief in God is about Faith.
