Tom Flynn does not believe in God. He’s less willing to say the same about aliens. “Given the evidence we have now, I think it’s more likely that a dispassionate observer would conclude that intelligent life elsewhere is possible,” said Flynn, a science fiction writer and editor of the humanist magazine Free Inquiry. “Now that’s a very different thing from saying little green men are visiting Earth in UFOs.”
For atheists, the idea of aliens seems real. Religious people doubt it.
