Which title picture is better?
I'm sorry, I can't resist... I'm pretty sure that we have all determined that the ape pic is best, ha! I know you are an Intelligent Design person Jack. I think we have brushed this subject, before.
Here's another possibility: Our world is far older than our sciences have determined; and ALL life on this planet has gone through phases of evolution - and sometimes those phases were 'growth spurts' due to whatever was happening on the planet. For instance, ions of 'peace' probably brought slow evolution but allowed for larger populations (which has an effect on evolution, itself); while more extreme catastrophies probably sped things up for a while (and sometimes caused evolution to take radical 'left turns' - such as if radiation became involved, etc).
I'm on your side with the concept of 'God' creating things (in my definition, not the tradition Christian one)... But 'the Kingdom of God' has been a gradually-developing thing that has no end to it. I've dug into most of these alien theories because I don't have a typical opinion of God. I understand that humans seemed to have changed rapidly in fairly-recent millenias; but also LOOK at ALL the different kinds of homosapiens that we have unearthed (and how many of them have streaks of DNA within our own DNA).
This planet has been through phase after phase with growth spurts and catastrophies that allow for 'creation' to be improved upon.
Aliens exist - there is so much 'likely-evidence', its ridiculous. But why are they so skiddish when it comes to interacting with us? If they are technologically advanced, they should have been able to 'take us over' LONG by now. (I know some people think they have already done so, ha! Demons are now considered to be aliens in some religious circles.)
Humans & Aliens (and demons, for that matter) can only exist within our streams of consciousness when we accidentally slip into their vibrational frequencies - something that is almost impossible to do on a worldwide scale. (Vibration = emotion or 'energy in motion'; and each civilization within God's Universe has its own frequencies.) It would be very difficult for us to coordinate a majority of our human collective consciousness to focus on an unknown alien frequency to interact with them on a global scale. That means that while humans CAN have 'alien experiences' on an individual or even a 'group' level; there will be no major 'first contact' with them - and no big, scary invasions.
Maybe since they can - in a limited way - interact with our world, they tinkered with the human genome. It would probably be silly to completely rule that out. But it is far more likely that they are just as much a part of 'source consciousness' as we are with not nearly as much interacting with humans as some of us would like to give them credit for. They have their own dimensions of reality; and their own lives to lead within those dimensions.
Our world is essentially a playground for BOTH 'good' & 'evil' - it was created for that purpose. Isaiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things." God is 'pure positive energy' and LIGHT. You can't create light without creating darkness; and there is no source for darkness - only the absense of light. God created places like Earth and our Universe specifically so that 'the dark' could exist WITH light.
And that is the choice we make every day... are we choosing darkness or light in any given moment? It doesn't matter what choice we make (there is no such thing as 'sin' that God holds against us); because personal perspective is part of a human soul's ever-expanding personal identity. We experience life complete with the consequences and/or rewards based on the decisions we make. We are human bodies born with a slice of the eternal consciousness of God - as an extention of himself/herself to experience a physical existence. Life is an experience for spiritual beings (US!) in both personal & collective creation - and that is all it is meant to be.
God intended a much more peacful existence for us on this planet from the beginning - and doesn't consider 'death' (we never actually die) to be the tragedy that it is from our human perspective. Its amazing how we humans distort things and even kill each other over them. Its okay (if not MADDENING sometimes), the contrast is part of helping us to 'become' in this world - even things like Trump, LoL! It is impossible for God to hate ANY part of his own creation. We're not quite there, yet - and perhaps never will be. That isn't our purpose.
Our purpose *drum roll* is simply to HAVE FUN - and we will consider even our BIGGEST most ugly 'sins' to be EQUAL to our joys in importance when we die and re-emerge into 'all that we have expanded into & become' in this life.
Sorry this got so long - this was so much more fun to explain than fighting about Trump, LoL! If you want way more details - check out my 1st spotlight hub.
I just thought of this and it made me giggle out loud... What if there are little alien children running to their mothers, crying "A human just abjucted me and terrified me!" It very well could be something that goes both ways, ha!
That hub is something to read in pieces, anyway. There is so much information compacted into it. I am sparsing it into a blog for easier reading - but dang I hate the process of doing it, so I am moving way too slowly on it. Its coming soon - I keep saying that.
