Darwinism is a creationist invention intended (as far as I can tell) to make those who accept the theory of evolution look like they are following some cult of personality or religion. In reality there's no such thing (well there might be but I guarantee most, if not all, evolutionists are not part of such a cult/religion) because whilst we respect/admire/acknowledge Darwin as "the father of evolution" he is not a god (and besides Wallace would likely have got it if he didn't) and an awful lot more work has been done since (far more than Darwin ever did).

Which means it only took around 700 million years for abiogensis to occur. That would certainly put the chances of humans encountering alien life into the realm of possibility.
I have read that too but there is no evidence that aliens even exist let alone have visited this world (though I concede it does increase the possibility of such a visitation if they did).
