Come on man, the OP didn't ask if the theory was true or not, and he made it clear that he'd like people who do understand evolution to give their view on what they think of possible extraterrestrial life.
no one is saying anything about religion.., you bringing up religion and telling the OP how wrong the theory of evolution is, is causing the scene so let's not start such debates eh?
the question is wrong i think
these r two different things ... life outside this earth n its relation to evolution on this earth has no link to my limited knowledge ... unless someone says a comet brought life on earth ...
i think life can exist on other planets ... but question is ... what form of life ur expecting to see ... a cellular one or ur expecting a fully EVOLVED intelligent beings like us ... in that case darwin miraculously found that his evolution theory applies to every form of life anywhere in this universe ...
n thats y i objected the evolution n thus related it to religion [n i must categorically say again i didnt contest anyonez religious belief its just an explanation from the books we already have] ...
cause if u believe that the evolution is true then whole concept of religion simply vanishes n becomes MAN MADE ... religion cant co-exist with this theory ... its a modest n SCIENTIFIC way of denying God ... [may he be christian, jewish, hindu or muslim god]
okay lets take out God out of discussion ... what is NATURAL SELECTION in this evolution ... who dictates that which genetic trait is GOOD for new evolved specie n which is not ... why the specie cant decide itself what it needs ... n how EYES have evolved ... n from where this so called DNA came from ... why man n ape from a common ancestor end up so different ... n is there any fossil proof of transitional phases of these evolutionary changes ... like an ape like evolving man with some tail ... cause we r the youngest evolved n our fossils should be there
