It's really stupid to believe aliens visited earth given the size of the universe.
What about the American people constantly complaining about aliens illegally entering their country? Explain this!
Fucking Englishmen in New York.
Those are 2 completely different statements.
It wasn't a refutation. It was added information.
Sorry I was not 100% sure so I figured I'd respond just in case.
Comments should come with this disclaimer. People get so upset when you continue the discussion for no reason.

I also agree with this statement, although it's well within the realm of possibility that life on Earth was seeded by an ancient extraterrestrial civilization. That's a timescale of a few billion years.
But it's still not as stupid as thinking that the supreme creator of the infinite universe has a personal interest in how you live your life.

I'd believe it when I see evidence. Otherwise it's just a possibility.
alien doesn't necessarily mean sapient, humanoid or even anything larger than a walnut. if you took life on earth as a sample of the universe it would be much more likely for an alien lifeform to be a plant or bacteria. and even an animal is more likely to be an insect than a mammal-like animal, much less anything humanoid.
(someone should look into the numbers my source is just vague memory at this point)

Also given the scale of time of the universe. We as humans have only existed for a small amout of time on the vast scale of things.
Countless alien civilizations may have existed and destroyed themselves, and may others may have not come into existence yet.

People who are interested in aliens and UFOs rarely solely make this argument. Often, they've encountered or somehow know of these aliens.
If aliens haven't been to earth, how come all the bigots keep bitching about illegal ones? 🤔

I think we should be looking inter dimensionally for alien life rather than extraterrestrial.

Logic in religion? That's your first mistake there.
I swear this post is straight from 9gag. It feels like it was made 15 years ago......
15 years ago it was mostly lolcats and rage comics.
Pretty sure 15 years ago was like...1998
Me too buddy, me too.
Fffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

Why won’t you get the vaccine? “Because idk what’s in it.” Why did you get Chinese dick and hair pills? “Because I NEED it!”

Well God is an alien, by definition.
He's supoosedly everywhere, but i don't think he has any papers, he's an illegal alien
Deport Jésus (Christ)!
No anti authoritarian rebels allowed here. Probably ms13
If god is anything, why not crab
My experience with random processes: on large scales, things either happen 0 times or many times. So I find the idea that life exists in only one place pretty implausible.

A lot of Christians will say no to believing in Aliens but because they believe God created humans and gave us the universe.
Or in a similar vain, because aliens aren't mentioned in the Bible they don't think they are real.
Does the Bible mention Mario kart
I'm not at all saying this is how I feel.
I was raised a Christian and considered myself one until I reached the age of reason. So I have some insight into how they think.

Well I've never seen air. Nor oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, the list goes on and on. I've never seen Ukraine, but I do believe there is some awful shit going on over there.

Maybe god wasn't capable of creating aliens...
God is all powerful, but only up to and limited too creating one sentient life form

In my younger years I tried to make sense of the ‘God created humans’ thing by envisioning lots of aliens species with lots of gods, each catering for their own pets. Then I wondered if these gods would compete over who had the best pet, or would go to war with each other.
That why I don't believe in Bird
People worship all kinds of concepts that they've never seen.
