Do you believe that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe?
Can anyone here (besides us zealots) answer a question, or challenge to their reasoning seriously? oops thats 4!
1. Want to? I want the truth. If I had to pick, I would say I wouldn't want god to exist, but it isn't a matter of what I want but what is true. If someone proves that god exists, I'll believe.
2. It is certainly possible, considering the number of planets out there it is likely that at least one other would be capable of supporting life, which could concievably evolve intelligence after a long enough time. I would say that I don't know, but it seems probable.
3/4. I'm not sure what you are asking. It seems to me that, taken literally, your question is a rhetorical and sarcastic remark saying atheists are intellectually dishonest.
