This is basically the same reasoning which causes me to be an atheist. However, I would nevertheless concede that despite both numbers being incredibly small, there is probably slightly more likelihood of an eventual proof of ET than there is of an eventual proof of the existence of an all-knowing all-powerful creator. But that's not really saying very much and IMO whatever sum of money is being spent looking for ET, it is too much.
Over 500 million life capable planets in this galaxy alone and there are many billions of galaxies, and you say there isn't much likelihood? Arguing from ignorance anyone?
Pick up a book and learn something.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
