   Personally I would put the alien anal probing above the existence of any of the mainstream gods, after all the former doesn't fundamentally break many of the laws of physics the we already believe to be true. As a comparison, aliens and anal probing is like the fact that the local zoo has a unicorn and god is like the fact that the local zoo has a unicorn that can ride a bike and plays a mean hand of poker.

   I must agree with Jabster on this one. This is not to say that I consider the idea that aliens are coming to Earth to give us all anal probes is a likely one, but I'm willing to knock a few zeroes off the very large Exponent of Improbability for this one compared to the god hypothesis.

   Eh. I consider faster than light travel about as improbably as a god. YMMV

   To visit Earth from another star system, it is not necessary to be able to travel faster than light. But it is terribly, terribly convenient.

   I can't picture anyone traveling several hundred years to get here and then just probing our butts.

   But hey, that may just be me.

   Perhaps that's why they came.

   2 things with this.

   1. I think Kim Kardashian's ass would disagree with that statement. ;)

   2. Rather than travel several hundred years to get here, perhaps there's a wormhole or something that opens a portal to this area... who knows...

   Convenience is the mother of invention.

   Well nor can I but I can picture even less the setup as described for mainstream gods ...
