1. There is no evidence that "other" (extraterrestrial) life exists.
2. There is no evidence that other life cannot exist.
3. Yes, it would be retarded to affirm there cannot be other life.
4. And it would be just as retarded to affirm that there are here, spying on us.
5. Zeta Reticuli is "the star" from which the Greys come (in the hoax). The hoax can be traced back to Germany in the 1850s, although the identification of Zeta Reticuli as their home is more recent. Today, we know that Zeta Reticuli is a double star with no known planets (yes, it has been checked) and with one star spurting out UV rays at a dangerous level.
6. Yes, religious people (but NOT all of them, only some English-speaking ones) have been pushing the idea that God cannot have children in other folds (contrary to a direct statement in the Bible).
7. Most religious people do NOT think the world is less than 4000 years old (the Biblical God was invented 4000 years ago, but that's a different story). The few who believe in "Young Earth" think that it is at least 6013 years old (from a calculation done by a paranoid, anti-papist Calvinist bishop), with some Young-Earthers willing to go as much as 120,000 years old (depending on their interpretation of "day" in Genesis)
7a. The "Hubble Law" (used to determine an estimate for the age of the universe) was developed by astronomer Hubble, in cooperation with a mathematician, Father Lemaitre (a priest) the same guy who gave the original idea for the theory we now call Big Bang (he did not call it that).
7b. The Nebular Theory that describes how the Solar system developed from the multi-billion-year gravitational collapse of a gimongous cloud of gas and dust, was started by a theologian (Swedenborg), in the early 1700s, a century after the Church-rejected "Chronology" of the aforementioned Calvinist bishop.
In summary:
No evidence "they" exist.
No evidence they cannot exist.
All we have, so far, is wishful thinking (both ways).

At the moment, we're not aware of *any* life beyond Earth... So... they *might* exist, but... I'm doubting it.
