I argue that there is no known
evidence by which life would arise by supernatural intervention.

I have no problem integrating your comment into my point, which is, we
have no reason to suppose there is ET life. I addressed the
materialistic possibility, and you addressed your concept of the
supernatural possibility. The conclusion is the same: There is no
reason to expect ET life.

Hi Richard,

I totally respect your beliefs and opinions.
But there is one thing that I do not understand in your reasoning.
Why would it be that creationism and the existence of ETI would be mutually exclusive ?
If God created us, why not also someone else ? Why would we be the only one ?

Cheers
