I happen to think there is plenty of proof if you have eyes to see. If you don't then you can't.
Please offer some of this proof I can see with my eyes, as all I see is people asking me to take their word, or take in on faith. That's not proof.
You are linking believing in alien life with believing in the Biblical Genesis story. That makes no sense at all.

Exactly! Now of course "alien tech" magically negates that fact. But in reality, we live in a universe governed by the laws of physics.

Universe is big, and so big than there big quantity of chances that we are not alone in the universe. We have to stop to focus on our existence, centralise the humanity.
I think people doesn't want to admit that we are not alone because they don't want to know a "race" more advanced than our.

Sure it does.
The Bible holds that Man is the finest of God's creations, and that Man is made in God's image. If another race of being were to show up, that was more advanced than Man, then it would certainly put the gospel in a dubious light, and cast serious doubts on the rest of the claims in the book, would it not?
It is certainly linked, to those who would follow that faith, vs. those who pick and choose how much of it to believe.
Personally, I don't think that any of Man's ideas about religion are accurate, but you have to concede that the existence of a race seemingly superior to Man could certainly cast doubt on the claims of many religions.

I think the evidence that aliens are or were coming here is unconvincing.

So your saying anybody who doesn't believe that there is other life in the Universe is a religious nut? You said your not trying to call anybody names, but you obviously just did. Try wording your sentences a little better next time. Also, these "religious nuts" could say the same about us "scientific nuts", who every time see a ballon in the sky, have to yell UFO!
Who everytime here about a comet passing by earth by a million miles, say that its a UFO invasion. By the way, I do think their is life in the Universe.

Hello y'all, Skate again with a question. I've seen many around here who believe in ETs, just like me, and then those who don't believe we've ever been visited in the past, and/or now. That leads me to wonder, who on ATS actually believes all that, what I call NONSENSE, that the world is only 4,000 years old and that we are actually alone in this whole universe. You'd have to be a religious nut to believe that really. I'm not trying to call anybody names.

Surely you don't believe these ideas are mutually exclusive. What, precisely, does believing the world is 4,000 years old have to do with us being alone in the universe and never having been visited? You're setting up an argument that is facile at best. Whether or not it is true or not, the following is logical:
1. Do you believe we are alone in the universe? No.
2. Do you believe we have been visited by ET? No.
3. Do you believe the Earth is 4,000 years old? No.
None of these questions proves or disproves the others. They are entirely separate issues. To tie them together is what is nonsense here. It's a non sequitur. One does not follow from the other. It's an absurd juxtaposition.

Ask yourself this question: What, precisely, does believing the world is 4,000 years old NOT have to do with us being alone in the universe and never having been visited?
It doesn't matter what the answer is. I'm just saying. There's people who believe that our world really is so young and that we are the only people in the universe. It completely works with each other and I don't know how you're getting confused, if you even are. You're confusing me.
