I don't believe earth is the only planet in the universe with people on it. In fact, I was watching a UFO documentary the other day which quoted scientific calculation that there are so many star systems in the universed that it would be impossible that life couldn't exist elsewhere.
Where there is life, there is a God.

The conclusion above "that it would be impossible that life couldn't exist elsewhere" doesn't say anything meaningful. Sure if life exists on earth, it is possible life exists elsewhere in the universe. That doesn't mean life must necessarily exist elsewhere, nor that it likely exists elsewhere. It is sheer speculation.
But speculating that life might be elsewhere is a far cry from talking about an interfering with mankind sort of God as if fact and arguing about it as if it can be discussed rationally with facts as a basis. Both of you are merely making things up or bring to discussion stuff others have made up. And in your case your fantasy God comes from the claims of a , known con man, adulterer who started up the LDS church. The claims the church makes, such as the Book of Mormon contains a history of America, not only has no evidence but evidence points to it being not the case but an obviously written 19 century fabrication. And then there is the Bible and its claims which you argue as if fact, when much if it as well is mere fabrication.
There are lots of people like you Paul, who argue over nonsense, as if they are arguing something meaningful. To be blunt, I generally view such people as being stupid.
