I have an open question for those adherents to evolution:

-Do you believe in flying saucers? (i.e. extra-terrestrials)?

This is a serious question and here is why:

If, presuming evolution as fact, we can evolve on this relatively new planet, could life not evolve on other, older planets.

Further, if these creatures did indeed evolve, and are presumably farther along the evolutionary ladder, would they not be able to travel extra-solar system?

If an evolutionist denies the possibility of ETs and/or flying saucers, then they would logically be denying the possibility of evolution on other worlds, which seems self-defeating.

Your thoughts?

I think it's almost certain that we're not the only life in the universe. But I don't think there's any real evidence that aliens have ever visited our planet.

Further, if these creatures did indeed evolve, and are presumably farther along the evolutionary ladder, would they not be able to travel extra-solar system?

There really is no such thing as "further along on the evolutionary ladder." But, all of our current science suggests that there is no way to travel faster than light. So, even a highly-advanced alien species could not undertake interstellar travel very easily. Furthermore, the idea that aliens have visited us assumes they have the same motivations we do (travel, exploratatiom, trade etc.) Aliens may exist, but have zero interest in us.

I do not deny the possibility of life on other planets.....not even “intelligent” life capable fo extra-solar-system travel. Flying saucers? Why not? I think it’s just another piece of the hubrus of Man to think the only life forms in the universe are all on our one planet.

......but there is no reason for me to believe that just because life has been evolving for more years on planet “X” than planet “Y” that the life on planet “X” is “further along” in evolutionary terms such that they’d get to travel through space before the other planet. I’d say that each system would be unique in evolutionary speed and direction.
