So if you really think the odds are the same on there being mortal life outside of this planet and the existance of some mythical construct known as 'God'... well I believe that is not correct.
I am enjoying talking with you Lost, so I hope you take my comments in the friendly manner they are intended even as I disagree with you.
Here is what the logic of Infinity gets you on the subject of 'God', the possibility, which as you rightly point out is there. Just like there is the possibility that tomorrow the Sun will turn a nice deep red color and stay that way. Now I grant the color change is possible, but since I have a few hundred years of history to base an evaluation, I can state with reasonable certainly that the Sun will remain yellow-white.
So you gain the possibility, the exact same one that any other idea would have, ie nothing at all. You cannot disprove the existance of God this way, but it adds literally zero to the proof of existance.
Humans are not finite, not really. The official 'box' the def of what a human is and does (ie senses, strength, mobility, dexterity, etc) is based on the most common of conditions. We all know that indivduals can achieve so much more than this when they are motovated. We have unlimitied potential if we are taught that we do.
The other side of Infinity math that people tend to miss goes as follows 'any fraction of Infinity is Infinity'. Personally I apply that to humans, we are not separate finite indivduals we are slices of Infinity and therefore are Infinity ourselves.
One thing I do is study traces, marks left by influences and actions that are not themselves known. You can hide the existance of anything, but if it does anything, if it affects anyone, then you cannot hide the marks. I can see all sorts of powerful beings over the Centuries, some with possibly power beyond human, but no central force. Usually the 'gods' such as the Greek had, show a remarkable lack of understanding of the most simple of human complexities so I do wonder if one or two groups over the Centuries have been other than human.

Aliens are not demons, but the source for stories of both angels and demons may very well be alien.
my, what a convincing argument - if your objective was to eradicate belief in God.
