Keep in mind the drake equation deals with intelligent life which is intelligent enough to build a radio telescope. I would hypothesize we will find Extraterrestrials life in our own solar system on moons such as Europa or perhaps in the polar ice caps of Mars.
You're specifically asking about God vs. Extraterrestrials.
The point is, the existence of extraterrestrials can be tested and independently verified. The existence of God can not be. Therefore, equating that you can't prove extraterrestrials exist any more than god exists is untrue because one can be proven, and the other can not. |
Actually, FoxMulder said there is more
evidence to prove the existence of aliens over the existence of a creator god. I said what
evidence is there to prove the existence of one over the other. To me, a mathematical equation is not actual evidence of the existence of one or the other.
Again, I believe in the existence of some form of extraterrestrial life, but there is no more evidence to prove it than there is to prove the existence of a god.
