Could E.T. have influenced religion?

[lilphil1989]

then this is the whole point of my thread, i was asking from the beginning COULD. if people cannot give me a specific answer for this question of 'how did that mountain form' then i am entitled just like anybody else to give an explanation

Do you realise how exactly like an intelligent design proponent you sound with that argument from ignorance?

"if people cannot give me a specific answer for this question of 'how did life form from unliving organic molecules' then i am entitled just like anybody else to give an explanation..."

Not all explanations are equally valid, and the ancient astronaut is particularly bad:
it raises more questions than it purports to solve, makes completely unjustified assumptions, and is not supported by any evidence.

however the theory about ancient aliens is tangible and there are in my opinion

Sorry, but the scientific method doesn't care about your opinion. To quote one Vince Masuka:

That's not opinion, that's science. And science is one cold hearted bitch with a 14 inch strap on!

i believe it is quite plausible.

thanks for the input

So what?

My aunt believes that an invisble guy in the sky impregnated a virgin with himself 2000 years ago so that he could sacrifice himself to himself, to atone for wrongs that were his fault in the first place.

My grandmother believes that a vial of water that once contained an irrelevant active ingredient is a valid medical treatment for all possible ailments (homeopathy).

That doesn't make it so.
