Then how do you explain Alabama?A. I don't think it is a given that intelligent life beyond Earth even exists.
B. If intelligent life exists beyond Earth, it is not a given that their intelligence exceeds ours.
C. Even if their intelligence did exceed ours, it would need to be nearly inconceivably more advanced in order to come up with travel that reaches the speed of light.
D. Even if they are so advanced that they can travel at the speed of light, it would take tens of thousands of years just to traverse our own humble galaxy. It would take 2 million years at the speed of light just to travel to the nearest galaxy "Andromeda".
I think the odds are extremely small that alien life is visiting our planet.
Sure you meant to insult them. No one is saying you have to apologize, or even should.You misread my intentions entirely. I was just having some fun at the absurdity of it all, on a grand scale, and how it would so fundamentally alter things. No insult to anyone or any group was intended.
The god of the bible is the creator of all of the cosmos, the bible claims. If evolution is to be reconciled, as it is by some Christians - evolution of a species beyond our comprehension is plausible.
It was only a 120 years ago that man first flew a plane, we're now routinely flying into space and probing other planets. If we can manage not to kill ourselves, what would a thousand years of technology and evolution allow us to accomplish, what about a million?
Any matching one of ours would suffice.
