Believe it or not, other RESPECTED, PROFESSIONAL opinions exist in science than yours. But you’re far more interested in flinging insults than explaining yourself. Since I don’t have a PhD and don’t claim to have one, I read what’s interesting to me, enjoy it and share it. That WON’T stop. And I neither deserve nor have earned your derision for that. I am confident in my own well earned intelligence and find your personal attacks pathetic. On the other hand, the ease with which you toss aside other PhDs, in Astronomy no less, and twenty year distinguished careers says more about you than you even dimly realize. Truth doesn’t need your mad dog attacks. People who act like you, in any field, are almost always hiding things and lying. Science doesn’t need an Inquisition and loyalty tests - only tyrants with vested interests do. So be gone, attack dog. Go collect your pay - not for expressing the truth of science, but for the viciousness with which you defend the status quo. Because you have nothing to do with real science, no matter how many degrees you CLAIM to have - and papers you HAVEN’T published and research breakthroughs you HAVEN’T made - which is why, of course, you teach.

I don’t disagree but you (not you personally) don’t get to use known science today to suit your needs (no God) and the use it to support your beliefs (little green men).

No flaming friend. I believe it is much more probable that the incredible anomalies on our planet represent the activities of advanced terrestrial civilization lost to history than being of extraterrestrial origin. I do not rule out intelligent extraterrestrial life. Even interstellar capable extraterrestrial life, however every day we do not detect such life makes it less likely to exist. Did God give us this Universe for our use? An interesting question I think. Time for us to achieve interplanetary capability. I think interstellar is a bit down the road.

IMO, if LGMs exist, they answer to the same God as everyone else. There's only one God.
