Personally, I don't think aliens, for example, are that far out. It's just athe idea of a living physical object being present in another physical location than Earth. Like imagining "what if there were a remote control in the sewer?" There's nothing foreign to the nature of the universe there (assuming there's no God and there never was one, that it's a completely brute and physical world).
What I'm saying is, the idea among primitive people that there must be a creator isn't really primitive. If the world were really and truly godless, primitive people wouldn't have been able to imagine a god at all. It would be like a a brainless amoeba fantasizing about the idea of infinite bodily cells.
