evidence. Alien life is a lot more likely to have absolutely nothing to do with our galaxy, and so is a lot less likely to be evidenced from our perspective.

Responses:

I think the main difference is that the existence of aliens is falsifiable, whereas the existence of God is not. - nubby Jul 9, 08:41 14
- how is it falsifiable? You can't search the whole universe. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 08:42 12
  - ....yet. -- nm - znufrii Jul 9, 08:52
  - We can't now, but theoretically it's possible to do so. -- nm - ty97 Jul 9, 08:43
  - plus lots of people have brought forth what they call evidence of God/miracles/etc. -- nm - zork Jul 9, 08:43 2
    - We can't hold nubby to other people's interpretations of faith, only his own. - ty97 Jul 9, 08:45 1
      - but it'd be fun. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 08:46
  - If aliens exist, there is evidence to be found. - nubby Jul 9, 08:43 6
    - So your falsifiable statement should be "Aliens do not exist." -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 08:47
    - how does one prove the proof that God exists? -- nm - zork Jul 9, 08:44 3
      - I *just* said that it can't be done. -- nm - nubby Jul 9, 08:47
      - He never said you could. - spamlet Jul 9, 08:46 1
        
        :) -- nm - oblique Jul 9, 08:49
    - maybe someday, but it's not like we know what's currently going on in the far reaches of the universe. -- nm - Andie Jul 9, 08:44
- you have no faith in aliens -- nm - CQ Jul 9, 08:42
