Alien Question for Atheists

[Catholic_Lady]

What would be even more amazing than the aliens have a christian like religion would be if they looked exactly like humans. It's a standard trope in sci-fi which we all take for granted but the chances of that happening are negligible.

I'd be blown away by that too, but there could be evolutionary reasons for that to happen. Fingers are neccesary for tool use, upright walking for distance travel, etc. So I'd be shocked for sure, but I'd say a Christian like religion I'd put it in the realm of so shocking as to be miraculous.

I don't understand the attitude of some atheists who are like "nothing can convince me"

Actually my burden of proof is quite low. I'd say about the same as the existence of any other sort of creature, maybe even less.

But the 'evidence' offered by theists falls way way short of that.

My bold.

Yeah. It's the same exact attitude as some religious folks take when they act like nothing could ever convince them that something about their religious beliefs is wrong. A person who genuinely seeks truth wouldn't turn a blind eye to strong evidence that points in a different direction as what they already think is true. I suppose people like that exist in all groups.
