Do I believe man was made by extraterrestrials? Not in the sense the question was asked, no. If you want to get technical, then, yes I do. The word itself means not of this earth. God is not of this earth. He does not live here. He lives in heaven and I do believe He created man.

In Genesis 1:26-28, we read about God making man and woman in his image, in his likeness, and giving him dominion over the fish, the birds and the cattle, and over all of the earth. He blessed them and told them to be fruitful and multiply.

I've always found it kind of insulting that scientists think we have descended from monkeys or crawled from some kind of primordial ooze, and haphazardly evolved into the people we are today. I would much rather believe that I was made in the image of the Supreme Being who made the entire universe, and has so much power that my puny little mind cannot even begin to fathom what he is and what he can do with a single thought. Descended from a God or primordial ooze? Doesn't take a rocket scientist to make that decision, or, my bad, I guess it does.

I spent most of my working career in the health field and was always amazed that anyone involved in that field could ever not believe in God. The intricate way in which the human body works and the slightest imbalance that can throw your entire system out of whack and do some serious harm. That just happened? The cellular structure that forms our bodies is amazing and even the reproductive process itself is a miracle in the making. From two cells an entire person is formed with all the working parts he or she needs for the next 70 plus years of their lives. Most of the time it works perfectly and that just evolved from ooze?

We are able to create life, to use the brains we were given to imagine wonderful things and bring those to life. We are also capable of the most hideous cruelties ever imagined. Our drama here on Earth is being played out before an entire universe to see. We were given free will. We can choose to love or to hate, to believe or not believe. I'm sure the other creations that dwell on other places in this vast universe have wondered why God has let us go on for so long. I wonder that myself and I hope someday to ask Him.

Created by an extraterrestrial? Yes, by the Ultimate ET. The First, the Last, the Alpha and the Omega. In His likeness we were created. When you really stop and think about it, it's really cool. We were created in GOD'S image. We just need to act like it.
