Interesting...
Life elsewhere has similarities to religion, in that both involve faith
without conclusive evidence :-)

Not true at all.  Life elsewhere can be conclusively proven.  All
we need is one such example.  Religion cannot be proven.

Prolly not, but Jesus -could- come back, if he were the son of God.

There
is evidence to suggest that life elsewhere does exist.

What the hell is it?  I don't keep up on these things.

There is
no evidence to suggest that anything in religion is true.  These
two items are polar opposites.

Or would be, if there is evidence other life exists.

Someone who believes in ET's without proof is guilty of faulty logic,
just like someone who believes in a god without any evidence.  But
someone who believes that ET's are possible has not violated any
rules of logic.

I am unfamiliar with the rules of logic that might lead to the
conclusion a god is not -possible-.  What force might prevent a god's
existence?
