Why is it a “belief”? Either there are aliens, or there are not.

I'm good with either possibility although there is a severe lack of evidence that there is any other life than what's found on earth.

And I don't find any contradiction with my Christian upbringing.(God didn't reveal the Holy Bible in one revelation so why would He have to reveal all his works and wonders in one big wallop, either.)

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
