Just had to reply to your comment " but I don't believe in alien life".
Two friends and I watched an Alien Space Craft hover about three hundred feet away from us.
Sighting lasted about a minute.If anybody wants to see more about our encounter check it out here:

How did you determine it was an alien space craft?
It had humans in it.

That statement tells us more about val than about aliens...

It looked like one, silly!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

An alien civilisation is quite likely but not very likely to visit earth due to distance.
More likely explanations are:
A: Just some common plane or helicopter you were unfamiliar with.
B: Sneaky beak military plane or some kind of drone
C: Optical illusion.
D: You tube pranksters.
E: Time travelling humans.
All of these are more likely than alien visitors especially ones that just "buzz" a couple of yocals down the park.

If you believe all living beings including humans evolved, where did the ( "self-replicating" modules ) come from?
Think about how complex the human brain is and the way our bodies are designed inside.
I am looking forward to your answer.Thanks again!

I never did understand this rationale, its as if if we discount science we will believe in god, that's not how it works. God is not the default answer to hard questions, the idea needs as much scrutiny as does abiogenesis or panspermia or evolution relativity etc etc etc it needs as much, no it needs MORE evidence to back up the claim because it goes contrary to every fact that is known.
So for the sake of argument lets say that abiogenesis did not happen, how is god the answer? what facts would support that idea? how is god supposed to have created life?
So this trying to seed doubt has zero effect unless it is backed up with something and it never is.
If all science was wrong it would still not be evidence FOR god.

Interesting tidbits: Through the other DNA donor (no longer *in* our household, thank FSM), my daughter is related to the Wedgwood family and thereby indirectly related to Charlie D. My mother also shared the same birthday, and my brother is a microbiologist/geneticist.
And an awful lot of good chiney cups.
On a less scurrilous note; Darwin would never have gotten on the Beagle only for the intervention of his uncle Josiah Wedgewood. Darwin père was set against it.
