I've heard this said before but mostly from non believers (in gods, not aliens). I'm not exactly sure what this is based on. Maybe that humans are a special one off?
Anybody?
I seem to remember one time a Christian claiming that each species would essentially have their own Jesus that came down for their salvation, you know, like, a half god, half Klingon but fully god and fully Klingon type of thing.
There is a jesus for pin worms?

1) I did not assert, I stated that there is a strong possibility of a supreme being "God" based on the point that "God" can perhaps be beyond the space and time we are able to observe and that we are not able to grasp it due to our own physical limitations, and, therefore we can not draw the conclusion non-existence of "God"
2) To conclude that something does not exist when your species has only been here for approx. 200000 years out the billions of years of the universe and just recently having the methods and technology, for argument sake the last 1000 years. to advance your species is very short sighted
bold mine
You claim to be a theist. What do you use to draw the conclusion that there is a god? What do you base your "strong possibility" on?
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
