At least with aliens it is clear what we're talking about. We don't have any evidence yet but it is a distinct possibility that we may some day come across some. We can imagine what that would look like. But who knows what it would like to discover a god? Would a really long lived and powerful alien be a god? No? Then what the hell are we talking about?
