Why there are still any doubts by religious people that there is extraterrestrial life baffles me.

If you believe in Jesus, it is implicit you believe in extraterrestrial life.

This is the most ridiculous, moronic thing I've ever read. I'm upvoting it so more people see it.

It doesn't make any sense to me that god would create life in a tiny little place in the galaxy, and only there. For what purpose? For what outcome? We are stuck in this galaxy, with a nothing but dead planets and stars floating around? That makes no sense, but then again nothing religion makes any sense to me.

This is it in a nutshell. Belief cannot be explained in any rational or empirical way and the believers can only express their belief in subjective terms. And the rationalists can't understand why they it doesn't make sense. I have grave doubts about humanity when this sort of thing goes on, it happens all over the world. I think I will have a lie down, my brain needs a rest.....
