On the other side of things, if you believe in a God, you're not likely to believe in aliens as a lot of religious folks like to believe that the universe was created with humans in mind. Everyone knows that in the grand scheme of things, we are stranded on a tiny grain of sand in the middle of an endless sea, and it took billions of years for us to even show up. Odds are we aren't the only life out there. Hell, there may even be small life on Mars.
But..The little grey men, that's right in our wheelhouse. I don't understand the difference, really, I mean it can't be historical evidence if you subscribe to any one of the hundreds of thousands, probably millions of Gods that have come and gone over the years, one having just as much likelihood of existing as the next, but even for those with a more gray view of it, what is stopping you from believing in vampires and werewolves? My reasons are that there is a very noticeable lack of evidence supporting their existence, but that's also why I don't believe in God, The Boogieman, Bigfoot, little green men and Captain Crunch.
