Take two different societies of people, one who is 500,00 years more Mature than the other. Would you say the older society, should be more advanced than a younger society. Just as in people who are 60 yr.of age are more mature, have experienced and learned more than a 20 yr.old. As in cultures around the world, many but not all, the eldest are the head or Wise Men of the Clan/Villages, because their life in society have experience more and learned many differences, in living and learning from life.

The Question you pose, only have "Opinions" for answers regarding God, both for Believers in Religion/s and Existence of past & present Alien life.  

Which came first Earth Humans or Aliens (If they exist). Lots of Questions to be answered, which I seriously doubt, will be fully answered here on this site.

Interesting thought none the less.

I've always been open minded and before I chose to believe, and accept, Christ as my Sacrifice, as my Savior, I entertained several and various beliefs and possibilities.  I will also say even if I didn't believe as I do I would surely believe that alien or some kind of hyper super intelligent source was responsible for us and everything being here rather than accepting the theory of Evolution as the reason.  I believe many people have problems accepting anything other than evolution or something they can grasp and understand because they either do not want to or cannot believe that there is simply anything that is beyond human understanding or comprehension.  Others cannot believe or accept that if there is a God that God would allow challenges to God's existence to go on and continue or would not make himself known in a more demonstrative way.

As a Christian, though, I am also not rigid and dogmatic enough to say that we are all there is in the Universe.  I, as a Christian, as someone who believes God exist as a Spirit in a Spiritual realm that is in itself beyond not only human comprehension but so far beyond and above the Physical Universe around us, known and unknown.  So I would not be destroyed if ever dogmatic proof of aliens or other intelligent life other than us on Earth was proved or discovered. 

I would though believe if that life was ever discovered that they also would have a belief or acknowledgement of a higher being/life/Deity/God.  But that is my own personal belief.  I believe our God wants followers, believers, who accept Him, His being, His presence, without physical proof, without evidence, and by Faith alone so there is no reason or cause of why God would reduce Himself just to be evidential proof that He existed to a creation that many times fails Him. 

I also believe that even though there is no reason for God to do so that He did so anyway in Christ Jesus, the Physical evidence of God's existence and by which mankind could obtain forgiveness and salvation, in the Creator's eyes.

Ancient aliens doesn't rule out evolution, it supports it.

Yes, I believe my ancestors were pretty smart monkeys; I wish that we hadn't lost the tail though.

Human vestigiality

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 
 
 
The muscles connected to the ears of a human do not develop enough to have the same mobility allowed to monkeys. Arrows show the vestigial structure called Darwin's tubercle.

In the context of human evolution, human vestigiality involves those traits(such as organs or behaviors) occurring in humans that have lost all or most of their original function through evolution. Although structures called vestigialoften appear functionless, a vestigial structure may retain lesser functions or develop minor new ones. In some cases, structures once identified as vestigial simply had an unrecognized function.

The examples of human vestigiality are numerous, including the anatomical (such as the human appendix, tailbone, wisdom teeth, and inside corner of the eye), the behavioral (goose bumps and palmar grasp reflex), sensory (decreased olfaction), and molecular (pseudogenes). Many human characteristics are also vestigial in other primates and related animals.

If there were aliens why is it necessary they would be super
smart, and if they were, probably already own us.
 
I thought a Bible believing thumper would never accept the
idea of space aliens.
  
 

As a Christian I would have no difficulty with my faith or challenge of it if it were proven that alien life existed.  I would believe and feel that they would have a respect and belief in a supreme being, creator or God themselves.  Just because there is no direct reference in scriptures (the Bible) does not negate the possibility that God established life on other worlds, planets, and universes.  All of these are but physical entities whereas God is Spirit and dwells in the Spiritual realm which science or humanity cannot grasp or even have a concept of. 

I fully believe that at death mankind's soul/spirit leaves the fleshly body and enters the Spiritual realm/world and like a new born baby enters the physical world our soul/spirits began a whole new life, eternal in nature, and designed by God.  Why would another physical creation outside our planet be a threat to faith in God then?  Intelligence is a human factor, a physical factor and I believe vastly limited and unable to grasp some concepts such as eternity, infinity, or anything of a Spiritual nature.  Add to that creation itself.  

I do believe that things evolve and evolution is factual but not as an answer to life and where we came from.  If I did believe in evolution as the source of all life then I would believe it was the process God used but I believe life was established similar to what people accept as the "Big Bang".  Science accepts a Big Bang from which everything came forth from but has no explanation as to what was necessary to establish such a huge event and where did those things come from?    Science though has no real knowledge, understanding or idea of whether or not there is an ultimate end to the Universe around us nor can such a massive concept be defined or comprehended but rather is just accepted as something we don't know. 

There are questions that just have no answers that mankind can understand or comprehend.  My personal belief is that whether a Big Bang was the beginning or whether it was by some other process I believe all physical creation came from the Spiritual Mind of God, a Spiritual entity of which mankind could never understand or comprehend.  We, humans, accept things on faith because we have no other way to understand that which is not understandable. 

Consider, again, the Universe around us, away from Earth and outward until ....   We and no one else knows where the end is or if there is even an end in any direction and then when you consider if things did begin with a Big Bang then that doesn't explain the vast endless eternity of space and universe around where the center of the Big Bang was to take place for all that physical matter to fly to..  Again it is beyond human comprehension yet we are so vain as to believe we can say there is no God, there is no Spiritual Realm apart from the physical we see and touch.  To say that we know the answers to life's source.  I suggest that there is much that is inconceivable to mankind and faith is the only way which we have to receive and accept God.   I just accept that there is much that mankind never can or will understand and it is up to us to accept that we have those limitations even if other life away from this planet, solar system is a part of that.

==================

I don't know if it will ever be proven in my lifetime, I doubt it, but I can't believe that there is not life on other planets. I don't think it's a given that life on other planets would believe in and worship a "creator". They well may know how it all came to be. Even in the Christian's fairy tale about how it came to be they mention people god supposedly spoke to, so where did they come from? Did god create his pals and have them stand by while he created man on earth?
