Unless you're a hardcore Christian who believes the Earth was created a few thousand years ago, I really don't get how you can't believe in intelligent life on other planets somewhere in the universe. It reeks of human narcissism to me.

Exactly what I was trying to say.

One requires as much faith as the other, wouldn't you say? There is and has been absolutely no indictations or proof that alien life exists beyond this planet. To believe so, would take an act of faith, would it not? And to believe that the advancements of man in the last 100 yrs, has given us the ability to understand and know to great certainties about the Universe, would imo, be a larger case of narcissism, than to believe a Diety created us.

OK any Christian (and I'm a hardcore Christian) that says the earth in only 6,000 yrs old doesn't understand the Bible. IF you look solely at the timeline between Genesis 1.2 until now an argument can be made that the earth is approx. 6,000 yrs old HOWEVER there's a time gap between Genesis 1.1 & 1.2 so NO ONE knows for sure how old the earth is from a religious point of view.

I'm a hardcore Christian, but I don't believe the earth was created a few thousand years ago.

Could be intelligent life on other planets in the universe. For me, that doesn't present a problem. I do see it presenting a problem for those scientists who believe life somehow spontaneously arose from non-living matter and evolved, by random accidents, into more and more complex entities.
As to the question of aliens, I believe the UFO/ET thing is inter-dimensional activity, not visitation by entities from other places in the universe.
