Atheists serious question: do you believe in aliens?

If aliens are probable, where do you think they come from, it not like they can evolve from nothing, and all the advance technological crap that people reported they have is just a load of BS. Why all of a sudden we don't hear anything about them anymore.

I don't believe aliens have visited Earth. There might not be any other life in the whole galaxy (Milky Way). But it's basically mathematically impossible for there to be no life anywhere else in the universe. There are trillions of galaxies. It's not possible to travel to any of these because they're too far away and the universe is too big. Do you seriously believe the universe is EMPTY? Why would there be trillions of empty galaxies doing nothing? Why would God do that?
I think aliens are at least plausible, because astronomical spectroscopy has demonstrated that the necessary chemical elements are fairly ubiquitous throughout our galaxy. The fact that life has emerged here suggests that it's likely to emerge elsewhere. I also suspect there is so much unexplored volume within the galaxy, it's perfectly reasonable that we haven't we found any aliens yet -- which is why I think it's still plausible that we eventually will.
There is evidence that life can develop on a rock spinning around a fiery ball of fusing matter. Not so much evidence for gods. I do not believe in aliens, but I think they are more likely to exist than gods, especially one specific god.
