Yes, a Superman comic appears to mainly be a work of fiction, and isn't evidence for the existence of "alien" beings. I'd more than happily argue against having "Truth, Justice, and the American Way" dictated as moral law. I wouldn't like to see people threatened with eternity in the Phantom Zone, in an attempt to scare them into believing in Superman or following that moral law. I wouldn't like to see The Adventures of Superman taught in school as fact. I wouldn't like to see Supermanists dictating who we can and can't marry, or have sex with. Etc.
However, a Superman comic also isn't evidence for the non-existence of "alien" beings. Even pulling out thousands or millions of sci-fi "alien" beings and showing them all to be fiction, will never have addressed whether, or not, "alien" beings actually exist. And, I'm sure not going to bother labelling myself over every different sci-fi "alien", just the single bare bones fairly abstract concept behind all the stories.
Thanks for having me.
I think that Huxley was an agnostic atheist.
