If humans couldn't have evolved after millions of years, then I must ask who created aliens and god then? I mean if god or aliens planted humans on earth, then who planted those beings?

At the dawn of creation a decision was made.
A singular entity made a choice. It could be alone, or it could chose to split into an uncounted multitude. It chose to split and the consequences of this are still playing out to this day. Personally I think most people have a very poor understanding of evolution as a concept, let alone as a science. I see no convincing evidence for aliens now or in the past tinkering with humanities development or seeding our species. As for God in the judeo-Christian sense... Who or what created God then? And if we are created in his image? Why is God a humanoid? |

None of the choices are mutually exclusive. They could all be true. Or all not true.
I voted Evolution because it makes the most sense. But it's possible that God, or an alien who may be what we think of as God, started evolution. |

It's pretty tough to study biology/genetics at all and believe we're aliens. We share almost all of our DNA with the rest of the life on this planet.
Humans have a fused chromosome that still contains the same code the great apes have in their extra one, but it's inactive. IMO, humans aren't a good place to look for a grand design, stuff like the way microbes/fungus transfer information between plants and turn genes on and off are more compelling. |

Extraordinary claims like aliens or deities require extraordinary evidence, none exists.
Natural progression of evolution by the logical model that has been used by science may not be exactly correct, but it has vast amounts of evidence pointing toward it being correct. |

Aliens is just an extension of evolution.
there are only two options. Life spontaneously comes from non life, or a Creator. my study has been in physics and mathematics. I am convinced there must be a Creator. Mathematics, more than any other subject, speaks to the necessity of a divine mind. Galileo was right. The physical world is written in the language of mathematics. If we are the ones listening to what is being said, who is speaking? It must be an intelligent mind. |

Using sophisticated telescopes we can see the vastness of the universe playing out according to remarkably consistent mathematical principles.
Yet... We find few worlds out there in the universe that seem to have the proper chemical balances, distance from their sun and so on that would be conducive to the emergence of life as we know it. When we compare our solar system to others, our configuration of planets seems highly unusual. Personally I think we are a highly anomalous existence compared to everything else we can see in the universe. Humanity has only existed in its current form, according to archeological evidence for around 50,000 years and only 500 years ago did any of those humans invent a telescope. |

DNA proves evolution 100%.
It is evolution. Plus when life started on this planet, there was virtually no oxygen and the atmosphere was deadly to any life on the planet today.  How Bad Was The Great Oxidation Event? |

Quoted: Aliens: Did humans come from the stars? As aliens to this world or planted by aliens? Where did those aliens come from/ how did THEY come into existence? What about the big bang religion? What exploded and where did it come from? |

The big bang is not 100% something to rely on, but it could have been the beginning of our individual universe. I can believe it more than a spirit floating around like Bob Ross thinking "hummm let's make some shit today and put some happy little planets here and there and so on". I honestly believe there is much, much more out there, something along the lines of a multiverse and I have firmly believe that for quite some time now as many notable scientists are as well. Or... I may be nutty. But I like the idea of it. |

I don't think evolution and God are mutually exclusive.
Or to put it another way, I absolutely believe evolution occurs, and that humans are a product of evolution. And I absolutely believe God exists in some form, because all that exists in the universe had to be designed by someone/something. The way matter and energy interact was mapped out. All this complexity can't just be an accident. But I think it's pretty arrogant for humans to insist that their particular understanding of God is the correct one, when we have so many. I don't think man is necessarily made in God's image. I think man has made God in man's image in order to try to relate. But I also think sentient life on Earth (or somewhere else in the universe) was the inevitable result of the building blocks, the "laws of physics" mapped out by God in the first place. |

Evolution needs a starting point and the "big bang" is just a big bust. I'm a strong believer in adaptation, but evolution is still a theory that can't be proven unless you have "faith" in science...which is more politics than data these days. Of course, we do have evidence of "de-evolution" when it comes to Democrats, Socialists, Communists, and SJWs...there is that.
Aliens, while mostly good for movies and memes, could very well be a creation of God. There's no "theory" of creation and there is enough historical evidence corroboration with the Bible, that it has the most validity for me. It does require faith, so many who don't believe in any God have to defer to evolution or aliens. For the record, I believe in aliens more than I do evolution... ROCK6 |
