think about that.

1) I'd hope that their memory is better than ours.

2) They don't really resemble any other life forms on the planet. We've got DNA that closely resembles that of chimpanzees. Our own DNA incorporates genetic elements of ancient viruses. Our basic body structure is quite similar to that used by many other life forms on the planet.

An artificially-created life form, such as an android or robot, devoid of memories of the past, would almost certainly notice that its own makeup does not share these similarities.

so are you implying we are creations of some lifeform?
because the logic fails IMO. Unless it was some alien who decided to seed life on Earth with the necessary ingredients for RNA/DNA (of which has been proposed, as having arrived by means of a comet or other space debris)

Spacecraft launched from Earth are sterilized before launch, but only to a certain level. REALLY sterilizing absolutely everything would be time prohibitive and expensive. So the stuff we launch is mostly sterile.

So sometime in the next 50 years, we launch a fission-powered ion thruster/solar sail propelled spacecraft out toward deep space. It of course falls into some kind of temporal warp doodad, and crash-lands on Earth a little over 3 billion years ago.

Oops, we just seeded the planet...again.

We're our own grandpa??!!!?!?! Sweet.

In one of these cases, a very large number of people consider the response to be reasonable. Why?

Why does it matter so much to you?

I'm curious. A large number of people, maybe even a majority, hold evidence of religious topics to a different (lower) standard. Why?

I'm curious why you care so much about what they think and why you feel the need to seek validation from an internet forum for something that you are so blatantly sure of.

Also, my favorite part of the original post was the part where you portray an entire group as having enough of an uncontrollable rage that they curse and scream and claim that a large number of people find that reasonable. If you can't show me evidence on this, you're wrong.

I hate to feed the trolls but if you want a direction answer the underlying question here, acknowledging in any way that proof is needed defies the very definition of "faith". If that's how some people want to live their life, that's fine with me.

Finally, lack of evidence on anything is not conclusive enough to claim something is wrong. You're welcome to form your own theories, but baring the evidence to DISPROVE something, you cannot claim it as fact.
