Which makes me wonder, then...if the world somehow goes another five thousand years before Christ's return, will the historians and scientists of that day look back at the 20th century and speculate, "Humanity at that time could not have made such vast technological leaps in such a short period time on their own. Some form of higher intelligence must have offered assistance"? I mean, it's pretty clearly documented that aliens definitely landed at Roswell in the '50s, so who's to say they weren't just a team sent to check up on us to see how we were handling all this new information that was allowing us to now drive vehicles without horses, fly like birds, illuminate the darkness without fire, and speak instantaneously with people who are hundreds of miles away. All that in just a few years. Yep, we must have had help. And surely it couldn't be from the God who created creativity, thought, and the imagination. It must have been aliens...
Wow, that just made me realize something interesting...I find it easier to believe in God than the concept of aliens. Especially when viewed through an evolutionary lens. If everything that exists was the result of sheer chance and constant changing and adaptation, I gotta believe that it would take far longer than the estimated age of the universe (not quite 14 billion years old) to achieve life as we now know it when starting from scratch, let alone that, also by chance, some other race of beings in another part of the universe fell into place far faster than we did, evolved quicker, learned faster, all without help because all this intelligence has to begin somewhere by chance, and somehow figured out how to travel so quickly that they could get all the way to us and leave again without our really noticing....I mean, seriously, how much faith does it take to believe all that could be the case?
