uh...no.
Nope. I don't buy the whole "life on other planets" idea. Ofcourse believing or not believing has little to do with intellegence. I'd say that it boils down to your background (Religious,cultural.....) more than anything since even our own orgion can not be proven. Evolution (as it pertains to Man beginning)is a theory that has yet to be proven and God creating Man (in his present form) is a matter of faith. If I did believe in E.T's, I would be hard pressed to reconcile it with my belief in God.
By God I am speaking from the Christian stand point, which (amongst other things) specifies that not only was Mankind created by God but he was also created in God's image and after God's likeness. This along with the "fact" that Man was given dominion over all of the other creations of God (land, sea and air) ,establishes Man as His finest creation for whom all of the physical universe was created. In essence, we are the reason why God created everything else that exits. This makes it highly unlikely that there is life on other planets. It's really not so difficult to believe if you ask yourself one question; Why the heck would He create all if this stuff anyway?! After all the universe is...well..really....big. At first glance it sounds rather unlikely but if you take into account that origionally Man was designed to be immortal ("Sin came into the world and death BY sin") just this one planet alone would have been filled beyond capacity 100's of times over by now. We would have to live somewhere besides the Earth.
By the way...this is not my official return.....just a small preview(In other words I won't be around to tackle any responses just yet.....but soon.)
