It's amazing to me how much less evidence people require to believe in aliens or evolution than they do the Bible. When it comes to God and the Bible people will look for every possible inconsistency, the most extrarranous of challenges from the most incredulous sources etc, but with aliens and evolution one need only to announce a thing and it is accepted as fact.

But aliens and little green men, about as credible as the Loch Ness Monster based on current evidence.
The thing with aliens though is that we are at least seeing lights and things buzzing around the skies, god doesn't seem to even bother with any of that....unless it is god playing games with all the funny lights.

Either way I have never seen a UFO and I have never met an alien, so until that time I will remain quite sceptical.

I am sceptical about most things really, I was being unusually optimistic in my earlier post in this thread.
I'm glad you are still sceptical as belief in aliens and evolution tend to go hand in hand.

As people are now conditioned to think that life can spontaneously appear out of nothing they see the vast scale of the universe and assume it must be out there.

Indeed, if life does just randomly create when conditions are right it must be.

But as we have so far found zilch, nada, nothing at all.

It's quite weird really. I mean with evolution being true you would expect many forms of highly intelligent lifeforms, but man is the only species, and with life just randomly creating you would presume the universe to be teeming with life after all these billions of years.

But it's a resounding no in both cases.

Of course for me this makes sense. Man is special and unique because God made us so, in His image. And the universe is lifeless because life just doesn't pop when conditions are right, it requires creating.
