Aliens as explanation isn't more fantastic to me than to believe in a god as a creator of life. Not saying i agree or believe the alien theory, but i wouldn't entirely refute it either. Simple reason being that we humans know nothing of the past before the written word came along. That is where belief takes over for most people. And as belief/faith is a personally attained conviction it is useless to bicker about it. I approach all questions in a philosophical way, and have no real faith or belief in anything... Everything is possible, but everything also lacks evidence strong enough to be labeled as a fact. Pick your way to handle life and possible afterlife or non-existence. But beware of fencing in your mind in a box.
A small glimpse on the universe with all it's billions of galaxies, trillions of stars etc etc etc. I think it's safe to say that everyones theory is plausible. What makes it hard to believe or form a faith in all this space, is that the options you have been presented with, has all come from man himself. And the little person seldom if ever questions unified systems of belief, what the masses thinks is usually what the lone person will agree on. It can't be wrong if everyone is citing the same thing, and preaching the same message can it ?..
Well everyone thought the world was flat at one point, and disagreeing people with other oppinions were said to be fools and not knowing what they were talking about. Being thought of as crazy loons and fools, are usuallt just the thing that scares people off from thinking outside the box... Yet it has been proven and proven and proven over and over again, that a unified belief has been thrown aside in favor of strong enough facts that pointed to an explanation that went against what the masses believed.
Don't cast aside explanations that just may hold some shred of possible reality. But don't fully embrace it either. You just have to keep in mind that you are on your own in handling the big questions of life. Whatever floats your boat is your thing.
