I would be pretty strange if somewhere out there in space at some point in the universes history there were no other intelligent beings, but the chances of them coinciding with us (in terms of being near in space and time) is much smaller.
You say that you have become aware of the reality of UFO: and you go on to speculate that they are with out sin. What inferences do you draw from this?
Implications? Life on other planets would be a strong arguement for life being nothing special in that it can occur away from Earth. Earth becomes decentralised and 'one of many' locations of life. Also, having no non-earth life creation myth rather argues that if any creation myth was valid it would include non-earth life. As far as I can recall, the only creation myths that do this are the Sumerian and Scientology creation myths.
It also seems to me that if there are aliens flitting around the less sophistocated areas of the world they either would or would not have a conception of a god. Now, if they had a conception of a god but it did not match your conception of a god, what effect would that have?
Of course, if they turned up talking about Enki or Ea that would shake things up a bit.
