The better question should be, why do believers in ET assume that they should be benevolent and morally superior to us?

Why is it that believers in ET life presume that said life is of higher intelligence?

It seems to me the odds would favor it . If you were the Creator , is this the best you could do ? The UFO I saw was far more advanced than anything earthlings have produced . Stupid , primitive me , I was surprised its crew , if any , were not interested in my group at all . Next time I kick over a rock and I am going to ask the ants to take me to their leader . Years ago , I abducted members of the ant species for observation , as I recall it did not end well for them , so I guess I should be glad the aliens ignored my requests for transport off this rock . Maybe there is wisdom in the prime directive .

His forehead and following his brain is too small to be construed as someone possesing Intelligent thought. Too many years of inbreeding methinks. He did take a hag over a very nice looking girl and that proves my point.

It would require significant intelligence to find us and travel here.

If we found and visited other planets with life, good chance we would be mroe nitelligent than them.

They can't be just like us because they would have killed themselves off by global warming millenia ago, and so can't be here among us now.

Using the scientific method I proposed a testable hypothesis and then tested my hypothesis! Theory proven yet again!

http://www.lablit.com/article/73

In an official Royal Society statement, Rees also said: "It is surprising that many should still be sceptical of Darwinian evolution. Darwin proposed his theory nearly 150 years ago, and it is now supported by an immense weight of evidence. We are, however, fortunate compared to the US in that no major segment of UK religious or cultural life opposes the inclusion of evolution in the school science curriculum."

What was the hypothesis?

"Official scientists circa 2010 who believe in UFOs and ETs are hard line Darwinists who hate traditional Judeo-Christian religion."

Whoa if the aliens look like that I’ll gladly pretend to the be leader they are taken to! The only problem is I can’t decide if I like her “look” more in Firefly, Stargate of V. Each one is jaw-droppingly fantastic.

Because we know there isn’t any intelligent life on Earth. :)
