Do the non-believers think NASA is playing GOD when we send our "Robotic Angels" to our planets and Moons?

But wouldn't believing in Aliens be really just believing in yourself? Or maybe I'm confused, believing in Aliens visiting Earth is the same as Christianity?

I hope the die-hard skeptics of the future remember to use the argument, it is a very remote possibility that Aliens could visit us with our current technology and knowledge of the Universe.

The link is believing in.... Faith for it to be real. That's all. At least believing in aliens didn't start a crusade yet.

I think the argument you're referring to is the one used in religious debates, when somebody says that you cannot prove God's existence because there is no physical evidence, then the religious guy defends himself by saying that you cannot prove extraterrestrial life's existence since there too is no evidence. This argument doesn't work on me though, because there are hundreds of billions of galaxies in the visible universe, each containing billions of stars, and the idea that we are the only planet that has developed life in the entire universe is insanely stupid. We are just one planet in one solar system in one galaxy, and the thought that we are the one planet that was lucky enough to develop life just doesn't sit right with me.

If we had the technology to travel across the universe in our lifetime, I know for a fact we would find other life out there. And there are thousands of eye witness reports of alien abductions, close encounters, as well as the thousands of UFO images/videos available on the internet. While many of these are fake, I really doubt that every single one of the thousands of eye witnesses are just lying about their alien encounters. With God however, there is absolutely no physical evidence to prove his existence. The only way to find out is to die and meet him or not meet him yourself, but IMO when you die your brain stops functioning, and you need your brain to take in information, to perceive your surroundings, to understand language, etc., so when you die, you die and that's it.

Heaven and Hell and all the stories in the Bible are waaaaay different than looking up into the sky on a starry night, don't you think? You usually sit in a church on pew, or pray, or read a bible in the comfort of your own home. You read the stories and you extrapolate what it means to you in your head. That is totally different than believing in Aliens. Maybe believing in the Nordics from Alpha Centauri or some crazy detailed alien culture like that, I can see the argument. But generally believing in Aliens, seems more like common sense, and not so much a faith based assumption.

We actually have physical things we can study in regards to life in space. We humans are capable of traveling great distances on Earth. That is all reality. Point A to Point B. We are humans, not dogs or cats, so we understand the concept travel.

Stories from the Bible, are just that stories, there are religious archeologist, religious anthropologist, and Universities dedicated to research on factual evidence of the stories from the Bible.

But not everyone is a Christian, and not everyone has a Bible. But everyone can look up at the Stars at night.

I just think it's a totally different ball park, apples and oranges.

The argument that believing in Aliens is a thing of faith, whoever is making that statement already has some sort of Christian based bias.

Who said the other planets were ours for a start? No I don't believe NASA is playing god, and never will compete with god.

It depends how you, yourself interprete the bible. I believe we were put here by aliens simply because that is the way genesis makes me think.

Maybe they are visiting now, but unless someone decides to tell the rest of the world they are real, then they are a myth just like the bible and other ancient writings.

the difference is that you don't need to believe in aliens
.. they are here

on the other hand religion is all about faith, some people have it some don't

[imho]

You have made a paradoxical statement. Unless you have actually visited or been there, you have no facts. And with your statement about the eye witnesses and such, how do you know this is not some ploy of a spiritual being trying to bring confusion to mankind?

How is believing in Aliens the same as Christianity, you ask?

...well, they're both fiction. One contains fairy tale stories with imaginary friends for deluded adults, while the other is about blue and green martians buzzing around the skies in saucers.

They are both nonsense. And they both make adults appear more silly than little children.

In the purest form they are the same thing. God/Christ and Advanced Technology, Aliens and Angels, Ascending and Abductions. They both are an answer to questions we do not have answers to. Answers about the future and the past. Where did we come from? God made us. Aliens engineered us. It is the same character, different name.

Christians believe that the leaders in the church have access to the holy spirit. Alien believers think that leaders in the government have access to aliens. They both use this to justify that they exist.

There are Christians, Muslims, Hindus. There are Grays, Reptilian, Nordics.

I am not a self described religious person. But I do believe in aliens. I also understand that to some extent I am fooling myself in thinking that one is foolish and the other truth. As a result I am open to both, but I feel one is far more likely and reasonable.

Believing in aliens is fact.Millions of people tell of abduction stories.Christianity is based on fiction.

Utter BS...millions of people claim to have had some contact with God, angels and Jesus...oh yeh and mary.

What do both have in common...both are completely full of it,,either lying or looking for attention...

That is the only fact here.
