However, out of respect for your thoughtful reply, I'll try and give in kind.
You are welcome to trash them immediately at your preference.
I hardly see a reason to do so. Several of them, such as your claim regarding panspermia replacing the theory of evolution, are clearly absurd. Others are merely incoherent. However, I will listen if you are willing to explain what you mean by them, and attempt to justify their validity.
Well, you can find lots of company hereon for considering me absurd, without looking too hard. Enjoy your perspective. I can handle it easily as long as God sees me otherwise.
My prediction is . . . that the global government tyranny folks will increasingly trot out the grand deception that ET's seeded man on this globe--having genetically designed him or some variation on that theme. This will be called some form of panspermia. This will take the place of evolution as it has been taught and believed.
But I can understand that you would not have studied that out very far or much. You may even still consider it yet more evidence of even greater absurdity. Time will tell.
Or, you could put them on a high shelf and wait and see what falls off at some point in the future.
I do not understand what you mean by this.
It's a fairly old metaphor, idiom. It has to do with holding things loosely which are of somewhat questionable validity. And, then waiting to see what time, events, facts later prove out or disprove.
Or, you could study the issues out more thoroughly than perhaps you have heretofore.
I have studied the issues. In fact, it is for that reason that I understand the notion of panspermia -- which attempts to explain the origin of the first life forms on Earth -- "replacing" evolution -- which explains how life on Earth diversified over time -- is an absurd notion. It would be like replacing rubber tires on an automobile with a new steering wheel. There is no reason to expect a scientific explanation for one event to "replace" a scientific explanation for a different event.
The ETs-as-seeders-of-panspermia-bioengineered-humans-on-earth explanation will likely include the info that they have shepherded their 'creation' at many points along the way in addition to beginning the grand experiment eons ago. Your assertion that panspermia is an absurd notion for the reasons you stated simply indicates to me that you have not studied the depth and breadth of the topic very much at all.
Or, perhaps Holy Spirit at some point in the future will remind you of such humble statements amidst much fulfillment falling all around you in vividly tangible and dramatic forms.
I fail to understand what this has to do with the theory of evolution or with what is called "Intelligent Design".
I believe that there will be much contrasting of light with darkness; truth with deception, lies etc. in coming months and years. I believe that all those seriously interested in knowing THE TRUTH and letting THE TRUTH determine where all the chips lie--that anyone seriously seeking truth will find it in abundance with thorough going confirmation.
Of course, I also believe that those exceedingly stubbornly refusing to be the least bit open to THE TRUTH will find plenty of rationalization to remain in their narrow, rigid, closed minded notions.
I believe Holy Spirit will be pinging folks in their brains with abundant evidence that will be increasingly available in the natural world in stark proportions and startling presentation.
--just an opinion I happen to have.
