First Atheist I found to be consistent. Either it exists or it doesn't (1 or 0). Therefore the probability of Alien Life is not any better than the probability for God if you are an atheist. For me as a theist God exists and Alien Life can exist even if no evidence of it is at hand. I have more respect for an Atheist who draws conclusions consistently even though I may disagree with them.
The probability that anything in particular exists are 100% or 0% because things exist or they don't? Do you really just say that, because you've just missed the whole point of weighing uncertainty.
In any case, life exists here and similar planets exist elsewhere, therefore the probability of alien life existing is much greater than zero. So far there is no evidence of god or anything analogous to god, therefore the probability of god is low.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
