Logics not withstanding, which is more believable?

I think just about every single miracles, creations, events, inventions, etc... can be attributed to either God, or Alien depends on what you chose is more believable.

If I were to say God created man, well, who's to say that we're not some Alien experimentations? What if we were to find out that we're in an ant farm, breed and allow to exists only for the purpose of entertainment for higher beings? Let's say that creationism is something that we've came to agree on as far as origin of man. How can we agree on what actually created us?

Alien, or God? One in the same?

I believe we evolved more or less along the lines of evolution, but some of our technology and knowledge comes from alien sources.

if we are an ant farm, and They paid attention to such details such as *****, I would like to know when the next experiment sign-up is.

Think about it.

Your first two options are essentially the same:

Some unknown unidentifiable being did it.

beings you mean.... as in multiple aliens.

Cause if it was jsut one alien, that would be our god, but if it were multiple aliens, they would just be aliens.... hmmm interesting....

And also: I think if I saw an alien I'd be able to identify it.

between God and aliens, i believe God is a lot more believable. aliens would be detected by radars, radiowave detectors, etc...

God doesn't have to be detected to be there.

Your choices could use some work. I believe in the Theory of Evolution, yet am extremely sceptical about abiogenesis being the origin of life.

So you do agree that there is a possibility of Alien created us, because there is only room for one Creator. And if Alien created us, wouldn't that being know how to get around any "detection" mechanism we may device? In essence, the Alien being too can't be detected so it can very well be a God, by definition.

Aliens could be considered a god, and a god could be considered an alien....

I don't have faith in god or aliens, but I certaintly don't have faith in their non-existance either.

why no option for evolution and alien? because i refuse to vote until that option is added.
i believe in no real deity, however I believe there is a possibility aliens have aided in certain things throughout history, however, I base no beliefs on that, and only exercise the alien theory as a mere idea to have fun with life in my head, whereas I hold science's life theories much closer.
i have many absurd ideas about life, most of which I completely expect not to be true but think of them to merely fill in the emptiness that happens when merely following the scientific answers to life. but then again, i view religion as merely a way to fill in the gaps too, because the human mind seems to require answers to everything. so in theory, my ideas about life are no different than having a religion around them, except no one practices my ideas. ;)
