NASA is throwing money away I can prove it!

It is generally agreed by the scientific community that life had been caused by amino acids rained down from a primordial earth which polymerised and gradually evolved over a long time to create life as we know it today. This is supported by different fossils found in different layers of rock which has been dated and so forth. For the sake of argument let's go along with the theory of evolution.

Now, creationists believe different, that life is created in 6 days, all at once, you get the jist.

The logic of certain atheists, however, is as follows;
There is proof to support the theory of evolution
Creationist beliefs contradict this theory
The creationists' beliefs are false
This includes God, Jesus, Moses.........

HOWEVER
There are some people who believe aliens had put life Earth by seeding it.
The theory of evolution and the proof that supports it contradicts this (The Earth wasn't seeded with life all at once. It evolved over time)
Therefore these alien seeding people's belief's are false
If I were to go on with atheist logic, I should conclude that all their beliefs are false, including the existance of aliens and anything else that the mention.

You hear all the time in papers about astronomers finding some new possibly life-bearing planet in some big search to see if we are not alone. There's even some mission to Mars I've heard of, and what are they looking for? Places that could have supported life. (Or could in the future). However, due to atheist logic, this is a big waste of money, as I have proven in the paragraph above that no aliens can possibly exist. That, and I could say, "I haven't seen any proof of aliens. If they existed I would have seen proof of them by now. Since they haven't, I must conclude that they could not possibly exist."

Now, question for debate;
Is proving the theory of evolution really a good reason to conclude that no God, (Gods, aliens, spirits,) could exist?

Is it perhaps pointless to have so much fighting over creation/ evolution debates?

Isn't it a tad bit silly to think you are more sciency than anyone that isn't an atheist, or believes in higher powers? That science is on your side and not on anyone elses?

My response: The debate regarding evolution and creation is all good to argue in a friendly like manner. But I have my limits. I go along with the theory of evolution but I generally accept that creationists believe what they do for their own reasons. If it came down to it, I don't want to push them into believing otherwise. They say "evolution is only a theory" or anything else, fine. I see that they have already learnt all there is to know about evolution/ the big bang, they have made their own conclusions from it.

I am not going to be one to call them ignorant for it, however. And anything beyond the friendly arguments is simply rude and snobbish. And I think it is silly to think, just because you believe different, that you are more sciency, or less brainwashed. It doesn't mean you know more than them or are less ignorant. Scientists are searching for other powers, in a way, through whatever method like it or not so it isn't all evolution and smiting YEC's.

We are positive life capable of obtaining knowledge exists. It is reasonable to assume that with the immense size of the universe and the trillions (+) of planets within, that somewhere else, there were conditions suitable for life capable of such knowledge to exist. It is logical, educated guess to believe that there is an earth-like planet within our universe that could and does support life. Is it dumber though? Is it smarter? Has it evolved to a level far beyond ours that it can assumed to be a God?

You would have to define god.

However using the power of logic one would have to ask why it would create life here for no reason. Also using the theory of evolution ne could say that life would appear vastly different aand thus could not create man in its image.

Anyways god=singular
species= many.
