text: what would you say if aliens arrived and proved that they put the human race on earth, not god? truth is, you can't know for certain this isn't what happened.  as arthur c. clark stated, "any significantly advanced technology is indistinguishible from magic" so it's certainly possible that the bible and christian religion was fabricated, and given to people who simply couldn't distinguish aliens from what would appear to be gods.  wouldn't it be a hoot if all this time you christians have been worshiping some alien kid, and we're just his unattended science project? aliens are not going to arrive, so there is no worry about them proving anything.  the "anthropic principle" proves that the universe is fine-turned for intelligent life to be on earth and no where else in the universe. we know for sure there is no intelligent life as far out as 230 light-years. from 230 light-years away, it would take a spacecraft traveling at 7 million miles per hour, 23,000 years to get here, if it were able to miss all the space junk and the fuel and craft and beings didn't expire.
