Why extra-terrestrials?

It bugs me as to why men of science would so fervently, if quietly, believe in UFO type aliens. It sort of all hit, if I have hit on parts of it before today. The first theory was that life came about of it's own accord, at random, on far away planet. God was, thus, deniable, since life is said to have originated here. Now, that worked for most of the low-grade scientists, and still does. But the sharper sticks in the bunch realized that the random generation of life on a planet, any planet, was beyond astronomically small to the point of impossible, so as to be an act of God. Which planet it originated on was irrelevant. Since we are dealing with the sharper sticks in the bundle, only 'virtual impossibility' is allowed these days, after the Titanic, man running a four minute mile, and the bumble bee now being allowed to fly by science, impossibility is not quite what it used to be.

In any case, with great doubts being cast on the possibility of life coming from non-life, oddly, it started seeming like, well, if the notion was passed on to some alien landscape where more was somehow possible, then it would all make sense. This takes care of some of the lesser sharp sticks in the science community. But the upper tier realized that no matter how close or far, the probability of life from non-life was just as remote. Further, no matter where you go, and how many alien civilizations or lifeforms, there would eventually be an 'origin' of life. The sharper of the 'sharper sticks' realized the notion of alien life was merely an intellectual stall in dealing with origin. So, what do they do? Of course, they develop the theory of unproven, unprovable alternate dimensions and the possibilities of breaches from whence life might be said to originate. Which, of course, and again, is a stall.

The brightest sticks in the group have to know that atheism is a fools choice. Especially the atheists among them. Either God not only exists but has created all, but most importantly life. Or something that is the equivalent of God has done so, a force, power, infinite unproven unprovable reality of infinite alternative dimensions. But what is worse, even then, it is being found that what was thought to be infinite, should it exist, is proving to be finite. Like a fish in a pond that keeps drying up without anything to fill the pond, save the last few sprinkles of hope before the drought, great thrashing occurs in that pool. The more the 'sharp stick' tools thrash, the more uncomfortable the 'duller sticks' are, as even they begin to realize the places to run are disappearing the more they work on things.

Vox is debating one of the 'duller sticks'. He seems still happily stuck on aliens. Many professors I have had also were satisfied with the 'alien theory' to, too busy or lazy to go further. Ah well. No, it just came to me and I had to chuckle as I see modern "science", once again, is driven more by an attempt to disprove God than anything else. And the farther it goes the more empty it seems and the more it undoes itself.
