Lifelong Christian had to face the facts

True, because the statistical likelyhood for the existence of aliens is high. Not conclusively high, but enough to say they are more that just possible. On the other hand.....

So you have faith that aliens exist, because it more likely they exist than they dont?

I will qualify what I mean by "aliens" to avoid any confusion. Alien is any form of non-earth based life, this includes bacteria and the like. But no, I don't have "faith", I just consider that in a universe the size of ours the statistical chances are high. But for the moment unproven. Faith doesn't come into it.

True, but until you DO have said evidence, claiming that god does exist is foolish to say the least.

Indeed. I dont say there is a God, I say I think there is a God, which makes a big difference.
The universe is very complicated, (Complexity = designer) so surely on the balance of probablity, God is more likely to exist?

Chaos theory shoots that idea right in the foot.
