Best Answer

Belief in a supreme being is actually a belief in the supernatural, but most people who believe in a supreme being are taught or conditioned as to what it is permissible to believe. Sometimes that conditioning extends to not accepting the possibility that life could exist elsewhere in the universe. More important to the issue of belief in the possibility of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe is that this could call into question the entire basis of religions as we know them.

Einstein was essentially a Deist. He believed in a supreme intelligence of design behind the Universe, and on a question of subatomic physics, he once responded that "God does not play dice with the universe" (though he was later proven wrong in that regard).
