Aliens are... alien
Glenn links to an article by Jerry Pournelle. Key point:
...All I am saying is that both "sides" miss the point: we should be humble about ourselves and our place in the universe. We cannot know if a Creator exists. We can only believe if one exists, or does not. And we should definitely be humble about our own tools to probe the universe---they are sparse and primitive.
The Fundamentalists who say the most ignorant things about evolution are wrong on their side. And Dawkins and Myers and their ilk, who dare to call people of faith "stupid" (while their own atheism requires as much faith as any snake handling fundamentalist), revolt me.
Count me as revolted as well by fanatics of any stripe.
