Not sure why you ask, but I think I am on record as not believing in ET nonsense, though it makes great movie material.
Now, do I believe that there is the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe. Maybe. Do I believe there is or has been intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, maybe. Do I believe that we will ever encounter it, only of we go there and find it, and the odds that we find it are infinitely small.
Part of my belief has to do with my belief in how we got here ourselves. I don't believe in evolution, life from nothing. I believe there is enough evidence to point to intelligent design that we are God's planned creation. Please don't confuse that with the strict creationist belief that history is only 6000 years old. God has left us evidence that the universe was created some 15 billion years ago. Genesis speaks in Gods time scale, not mans interpretation of it.
Does all that mean God didn't create life somewhere else? I have no idea, but I think He created the huge barrier of space to keep us in our own playgrounds for a reason. If He means otherwise, we will find that out in His own good time.
‘I don’t believe in evolution, life from nothing’
not only do you not believe it, you do not understand it...
‘I believe there is enough evidence to point to intelligent design that we are God’s planned creation.’
which is...?
If you believe that the world and the people in it are products of Intelligent Design, then your Designer did a pretty shitty job.
I’ve got three crushed discs in my back, since the spine was not “designed” to be operated in a vertical position. Likewise, my knees and hips are wore down to bone-on-bone because they were not “designed” to support the entire wieght of my body. And who would “design” a creature with an endoskeleton, and then allow something like arthritis to exist? That’s like Chevy including free rust on every new car.
Why would you “design” teeth to fall out? Or cataracts? Or even toenail fungus?
If a first-year engineering student turned in a design as flawed as a human being, they would not only fail the course, they would probably be asked to leave the school, for being too stupid to ever complete the course.
I find it easier to accept the possibility of travelers from another planet, (or dimension, the future, etc.) than the idea of a supposed omnipotent being, who has the power to create the world and everything in it, but still did such a poor job of it.
