Aliens are entities that in theory dwell on other planets. Their existence hasn't been proven, but the existence of some form of alien life - intelligent or not - seems probable given the size of the universe.
Alien life forms, if they exist, are likely to be radically different from terrestrial forms as a consequence of differing ecologies and different evolutionary paths.
Many fundamentalist Christians don't believe in aliens because:
- They maintain god created humans in His image so intelligent aliens with souls can't exist
- It says nothing of aliens in the bible.
Nevertheless, aliens, if they exist, could have a religion of their own, adding more gods to the list.
Some new religions claim that aliens with godlike power visited the earth and treat these supposed alien visitors similarly to the way other religions treat a supposed supernatural God or supposed gods. Raëlism is the best known belief system of this kind.
