That’s it isn’t it.
I can’t help thinking a lot of impetuous for the belief that there must be other life out there is simply well if it just happened here then surely it must have just happened elsewhere as well.
I don’t believe for 1 second life just happened here or anywhere else either. Obviously I can’t simply declare there is no other physical life out there (maybe God did create other life and we don’t know about it) but I highly doubt it.
Agree, I highly doubt it too. All of God’s dealings, seem to be here. Jesus Christ came HERE, not to some Galaxy, long long ago, and far far away.
I believe there is life out there, but it’s angels, patrolling the universe, and in perpetual warfare, with fallen angels. 😆
The underlying belief for this idea is evolution. Evolution as origin account and as the developmental aspect preceding reincarnation into new body goes back to Babylon and ancient Egypt. After the dispersion evolution showed up in what is today Asia where it was highly developed in the Upanishads. Eventually it made its way around the world as an important element within all ancient Mysteries. At the end of the Medieval era it showed up in the heart of Christendom.
Belief in existence of ETs depends upon the idea that evolution has been happening for billions of years, therefore it's logical to imagine that highly evolved lifeforms must exist in deep space (the 2nd heaven)
Some believers imagine that ETs brought life to earth and after seeding the waters with life tended to its evolution. The movie, "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and its remake are examples of many movies and sci-fi books based in the idea of highly evolved aliens.
