I am Denko (´・ω・`)
I get asked this question a fair bit, and I give the same answer; I don't know and I don't care whether I ever do find out. Everybody has theory and/or some "explanation" but the harsh truth is that in the grand scope of things, we know jack shit. Unless you were right there to witness what happen, the best thing you can do is guess. Thing that bothered me with a lot of religions is that for the minor details that they couldn't explain, they kinda made up as they went along and then stated it as uncontested truth, when all along they should have said "I have no idea."
Oh honesty, everyone talks about how they need more of you and then avoid you like the plague....
Do I believe in aliens? Nope. There's only theories and educated (but more commonly uneducated) guesses at best. Even if there were aliens, they wouldn't be some insanely smart super race that benevolently taught us random shit. They would be small organisms that have adapted to their planet; like protozoa or bacteria. Hell, I'd even go so far as to say you may have something that may have evolved to the point of indigenous wildlife, but not super smart green men that want to be taken to our leaders to butt probe them. Of course I accept that I can be woefully wrong on all of this, but I take into account that if the 2012 and Y2K scares taught us anything, it's that people have seriously overactive imaginations and create far scarier shit than you'll find in real life.
God? Well for many years I believed unquestioningly that there was a god. I'm at a point right now where it's a thing you cannot prove or disprove so I see it as something that just simply is. So I guess I'm moving more and more back towards agnostic as opposed to christian. Some certainly helped spark evolution, and nobody knows what. People are too prideful to admit the fact that they simply do not know for certain, hence why you have religious fundamentalists and militant atheists. They are two sides of the same coin in my book.
Astronauts I find more credible than anything else. They document everything they do, run tests, and present their findings to the rest of mankind. No mysterious wrath of god involved there; just truth as they find it.
