I have absolutely no problem with this. Either way. The vastness of the Universe makes the existence of other life almost certain, and the existence of other intelligent life likely. However, it took life on Earth 3 billion years just to develop multicellular forms from the time the first pond sludge appeared, and a total of almost 5 billion years since dust collapsed to form the Sun. The Universe is only likely to be 13.8 billion years old and the elements heavier than helium had to form via stellar supernovas. It would have taken awhile for enough matter made of heavier elements to accumulate to allow for the complexity of life. So whose to say that this process didn't take all 13.8 billion years to seed the Universe with intelligent life, and we're the first? I'm not disputing the Creation story either. That is a true description of God's work, but when we view it, we see what science is describing. A day to God may well be a billion years to us.

Time to start reconsidering the timeline the cabal funded priests gave us.
Darwin's grand-daddy was a Mason.

The physics and historical framework we are given are an illusion meant to enslave and confuse us.
We don't have to believe the experts on this. Many experiments and observations regarding this are repeatable.
