Besides, what is being agnostic but saying, "I don't know this to be true, but I believe(or lack belief in) it anyway?" Is that really any more defensible than claiming to know god does not exist?
So if you are a Gnostic in regards to the existence of God, what is your stance on alien life? There are thousands upon thousands of stories of encounters with God and encounters with aliens. However, I find more believe in the plausibility of alien life then God. It's interesting.
We have evidence that life exists in this universe and evidence of the vastness of the universe. Belief that something happened "out there" that we know happened here is more plausible than any supernatural claim for which there is no evidence.
Having said that, I'd be more surprised to find that life here was a one off occurrence in the universe than I would to find it happened elsewhere as well, but that doesn't mean I believe there are little green men running around Alpha Ceti Six.
