As of May 8, 2026, aliens and extra-terrestrials are back in the news - since the government officially released all its previously classified information in its long effort to document and discover Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence. There have been many sightings of UFOs, which have fueled the popular imagination of science fiction that, because of evolution, life should have evolved many times in many different ways in our vast universe.
If evolution were indeed true, we would expect it to have occurred throughout the universe from multiple angles where environments were suitable, with many different routes toward the culmination of intelligent life.
There is no reason, depending as evolution must on billions of randomly fortuitous chemical reactions, that we should find only one style of intelligent life (human beings). The different imaginations of intelligent life, such as found in the science fiction of Star Wars, should be evident all around us. Why not intelligent species like the Ewoks, the Wookies (Chewbacka), the Hutts (Jaba the Hutt), the Gungans (Jar Jar Binks), the Tusken Raiders (Sand People), the Dugs (Sebulba), the Mon Calamari’s (General Ackbar), the Quarrans (squid heads), the Jawas, the Rodians, the Ithorians, the Aqua Fish of Ando, and other weird intelligent life-forms? Our cantinas should be like the one dramatized through Star Wars’ Mos Eisley Space Port, featuring, amongst other space aliens, the music-playing Biths.
Such a potpourri of intelligent life, at different levels, evolving through different chemistry along different paths, should be standard fare if evolution were true.
In fact, because intelligent life-forms evolving all around us is a logical conclusion of evolutionism, mankind has engaged for nearly the last three-quarters of a century in the SETI project (the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence). Huge radio telescopes have been scanning outer space, listening for signals indicating intelligent life. But no such signals have ever been detected. And human beings on earth put out enough coded transmissions that similarly intelligent beings listening to the cosmos should be able to find us as well.
Yet so far, nothing! We seem to be the one special creation in the physical universe, just as the Bible tells us. There is one Creator God, who created life with similar building blocks and features for our benefit – for resources, enjoyment, stewardship – and created food that our bodies can assimilate. If life came from varied chemical building blocks, how could we metabolize and assimilate our food?
Partly because of the absence of different pathways to intelligent life on earth, evolutionary biologists are taught to assume that all life descends from common ancestors. Interesting, isn’t it, how the lack of evidence for their case - the lack of different evolutionary pathways to intelligent life - causes evolutionists not to discard their case but simply to make another assumption about their case? (That’s because evolutionism is a faith.) This assumption is called “common descent” or “common ancestry”. It comes from the observation of similar building blocks and similar features in living things. So they say, case closed.
However, the case is not closed. As we study great creative works, we learn to recognize the unique styles of the masters. Rembrandt had his style as a great artist, and Bach had his style as a great composer and musician. Each is recognizable by their own peculiar combination of similar features throughout their works. Great artists, musicians, architects, sculptors or other creative geniuses reflect their individual personalities in their work. And they have their particular reasons for staying with a certain style and format, and for using the same “nuts and bolts” and features in different aspects of their creations. A Norman Rockwell painting is recognized as a Norman Rockwell, not a Picasso, and vice versa. A Frank Lloyd Wright architectural design has its recognizable features and similarities, which easily distinguish it from the constructions of Buckminster Fuller or some other master architect.
The recognizable features and similarities identify the handiwork of a singular, prolific, and creative personality. Likewise, similarities in the designs and constructions of nature testify to style and choice in the handiwork of One Super-Creative Personal God. “Common ancestry” thus gives way to the better postulate of “common design”. The “common ancestry” argument of the evolutionists is not at all a forced conclusion from evidence, but merely a biased assumption that denies the truth of God!
The Bible tells us not only that evolution has not occurred, but that the spiritual dimension is real. And that there is a spiritual evil which hates mankind and seeks to deceive us in various and sundry ways – including through the masquerade of aliens.
Now here’s the truly wonderful thing! This Designer/Creator/Holy/Spiritual Personality who is God wants each one of His special creation, mankind, to cease denying and running from Him and to be restored to Him (1 Timothy 2:3-4). Through the person of Jesus Christ, we can more clearly grasp the Personality of our Great God, and we can be redeemed by faith to a divine relationship with Him. Through Christ’s death on a cross, the problem of our estrangement to a Holy God, brought about by our moral corruption, has been laid to rest.
1 Peter 3:18 says it clearly, “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit”.
