Please provide evidence - I guess that most of the world population would be eager to know.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

God.
Intelligent alien life may exist, but I don't believe we'll ever know for certain.
Yetis?! Pfft. Once you've seen one yeti you've seen them all, really.

BlackCat is right. I see no evidence that there are.Comment

All of the above.

God. Without God no little green aliens and no us to wonder about little green men. Yeti? Ditto.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

That doesn't follow. I just said that they do not appear to be a matter of probability. Probability at least potentially describes the compound effects of many known or anticipated factors to produce a variety of known or anticipated results with a certain frequency. So, the probability of alien life can be calculated (roughly) as the probability of life emerging on any given planet, of that life progressing from simple to multi-celled, yadda yadda; there's a whole theory or theorem or something (Planck's, is it?) describing the things that have to happen for spacefaring aliens to occur, all of which could be calculated. I don't know it that well and I'm on dialup, hogging the phone lines, so I won't go into detail, but it is a matter of probability--at least in theory. The Yeti/Bigfoot is hypothetically an animal like any other, somewhat akin to an australopithecus. Rules of probability might apply there as well.Originally posted by Japher
So, Elok, you think if you believe in God than you have to believe in ghosts?
God, if God exists, would not exist as a result of variables we are familiar with, as God is not an effect from our perspective but an ultimate cause. If God is an effect, He/She/It is the effect of variables we cannot know or guess ("What are the odds of Shiva and Shakti having coitus (p1), times the odds of fertile union (p2), times the odds of...").
Ghosts are somewhat different, in that if they are an effect they are the effect of unknown/undescribed causes. Barring our ability to detect and measure ectoplasm or something like that, they're an unquantifiable question mark.
And yeah, I just fed a troll. It beats working.Comment

Yup, humans has put a man on the moon, so of course interstellar flight has been proven to be possible wich proves the existance of small green aliens that of course all are eager to visit our planet

The choice is "Intelligent Alien Life Capable of Space Travel" not interstellar travel.

I find it surprising the four times as many voters believe that intelligent aliens are more likely to exist than God.Comment

What is really depressing is that there actually is people that have voted on god
