  1. Simply because something MAY be theoretically "possible" doesn't mean it's plausible or likely to happen. For example, it's "possible" that I may win the Powerball or Mega Millions lotteries, but the odds against winning either are approximately 300 million to 1. You're more likely to die in a plane crash (11 million to 1), or for asteroid 2004 MN4 to strike the Earth on April 13, 2029 (60 to 1). As for so-called "aliens," we had better hope that there aren't any such beings. Why? Well, as Dr. Steven Hocking said, there are only three possible outcomes: they may be benevolent and befriend us; or they may be neutral and simply ignore us; or they may be hostile and either enslave us or destroy us. So the odds of a NEGATIVE outcome for any encounter with an alien race would be 1 in 3. Not exactly encouraging, eh? The only time we're likely to see FTL travel is in the movies. Cheers.

  2. “I believe there’s intelligent life on other planets.” Ooookay. That’s certainly your prerogative. However, I would ask for proof or evidence for this statement. I mean, have you actually had an encounter with aliens? Or are you presupposing that with all of the alleged “earth-like” exoplanets out there, the odds would dictate that at least one of them would support intelligent life? That’s faulty (inductive) logic at best. Please don’t misunderstand. I’m not denying the possibility of E.T. life—I’m only saying that, given the current state of knowledge and technology, such cannot be proven. It seems to require more “faith” to believe in aliens, than it does to believe in a Supreme Being. The existence of an orderly, observable universe, subject to definable laws and phenomenon, would gravitate toward the existence of an intelligent Creator, aka God. Yet, those of us that do believe in an intelligent Creator are subject to ridicule and scorn by your scientific community for having a "blind faith." Yet, your own "blind faith" in the existence of aliens goes virtually unchallenged. Why is that? Perhaps one answer can be found in the words of Sir Julian Huxley (noted British evolutionary biologist, eugenicist and humanist): "I suppose the reason we (atheists) leaped at (Darwin's) The Origin of Species was because the idea of God interfered with our sexual mores." Well, one has to credit him at least for his honesty. Cheers.

  3.  @view1st  If I could answer where God came from, then I myself would be Him. People entertain various concepts and notions regarding the idea of "God." Some believe that God is the sum total of human experience, that is, apart from the existence of the human mind, God would not exist. Others, like George Lucas, posit that God is merely some active force in the universe that can be utilized for either good and evil: "May the force be with you!" Love Star Wars, BTW. Then there are various cultures that believe in a pantheon of "gods," something like the ancient Greeks and Romans, or today's Hindus. Finally, there are those of us that hold to the traditional Judaeo/Christian (and I suppose, Muslim) tradition that there is but one God, the eternal One, who is both transcendent and imminent, loving and righteous, and who is the source of all things visible and invisible, and who created and maintains the universe by His infinite power. Or as the ancient Hebrew psalmist declared, "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God." (Psalm 90:2) Cheers, and may God (not the force) be with you and yours.
