Why is the question of the existence of extraterrestrial life laughed off by most religions?
There is vast amounts of evidence dating back thousands of years that warrant at least debate that our planet has been (and continues to be) visited by extraterrestrial beings, but the major "religions ' continue to reject and refuse to discuss this evidence, but they worship a God from the Heavens, and believe "Angels from the heavens" have and still do visit us, Is this ignorance or fear ???? Sorry i cannot understand why they are so negitively dogmatic on this subject. Can anyone christian/ islamic/ buddhist/ hindu contribute something positive ?
EDIT : Cherubvin , so we have "proof that God exisits ' ? we have proof that "two of every species of every animal,, insect, bird and fish marched onto an enormous wooden ark? Forgive me if i have offended you ,I thought my question was positive, and i am not sure that you have done your homework, because there is more evidence of extraterrestrial life than there is of the exisitence of the Ark, if you care to research it maybe you will have the "scales lifted from your eyes" as i was taught in bible college many years ago. I have learned over many years of talking to "God" not to simply accept what "men" interpret as "his word" but rather to seek the truth about our origins and the future of mankind. God Bless you in your journey thru life

Can you contribute something positive instead of generalizing about all religious believers and insulting....Christians have a saying: "Take the beam out of your own eye before you take the splinter out of someone else's." When you can be positive, you can then ask it of others.
As for the thought about extraterrestrial life...I say religious people, if they do reject it, do so for the very same reasons non-religious people reject that notion. There is no evidence of it. In order to make a statement like the one you are asserting, you need to provide proof instead of just your opinion. And there is no proof. You are free to believe as you want, but it is not nice to come here denigrating those you think might disagree with you. Are you absolutely positive all atheists believe in extraterrestrials? Be careful what words you put into the mouths of the general public. Nobody has to agree with you.

The idea of "extra-terrestrial life" was birthed in the 20th century. The religions were written way before that.
I have an idea. Why don't you read up about scientology?
Most other religions are so all-encompassing that they believe that God is not just from outside the solar system, He exists outside the Universe.
And they accurately predicted that the Universe is curved like an egg. The space time continuum is indeed curved.

Why? "extraterrestrial beings" have not were given one thing to do with faith. authentic faith is about the morals and ethics you utilize to make your ordinary judgements. It has not anything to do with extraterrestrial beings. Or do you recommend "Christianity"? Substituting the word "faith" for Christianity is amazingly short sighted of you. There are countless fake Religions that instruct no longer purely extraterrestrial beings exist, yet that they are coming for us -- sometime (appear up "Raelians". learn Scientology.) so as to be a authentic God, that splendid Being could have created all it rather is inside the Universe -- alongside with extraterrestrial beings, the planet they stay on, the solar they orbit, and the galaxy the position they stay. locate extraterrestrial existence would train God exists, no longer disprove it, nor would it not disprove faith. IF that extraterrestrial existence were progressed enough again locate us, there is a truly very good hazard that for the period of addition they have faith, because of the actuality the opt for for "god" could be outfitted in to each being clever enough to invent area flight. The existence of extraterrestrial beings sensible enough again to us would extra than likely train "faith" to be a necessary, needed pressure of a maturing society, no longer disprove it.
