We know life happened here, therefore it is quite probable that it has happened elsewhere. We do not know that any deities exist, so there is no reason to suppose one does.
I find the idea of alien life interesting in regards to the god concept because.
A: if there is alien life it devalues the 'specialness' of life on this planet.
B: If there isnt life elsewhere it means that the vast tracts of lifeless space are a big waste making god an incompetent at best.
