What about "Cherubs":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherub
This is the image that got "engraved" in peoples' minds; and the Church -along with Christianity- is what made it viral.
How do you believe in the evolution of earthly creatures, but ignore the assumption that alien life can evolve outside of earth?
From the wikiarticle you cite :
"In the Book of Ezekiel and (at least some) Christian icons, the cherub is depicted as having two pairs of wings, and four faces: that of a lion (representative of all wild animals), an ox (domestic animals), a human (humanity), and an eagle (birds).[4] Their legs were straight, the soles of their feet like the hooves of a bull, gleaming like polished brass. Later tradition ascribes to them a variety of physical appearances.[4] Some early midrashic literature conceives of them as non-corporeal. In Western Christian tradition, cherubim have become associated with the putto (derived from classical Cupid/Eros), resulting in depictions of cherubim as small, plump, winged boys.[5]"
Now you are being silly. I am not claiming life can not evolve outside of earth. Life is biological, not magical. Humans can not imagine life into being. They imagine this silly nonsense we just cited. Grow up!
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
