So then, evolution is your number 2 choice right behind the Bible, and
there are no others? You would just automatically assume that no other
*spiritualistic* paradigm were worth considering?

Like what?

Surely you are aware that there are religions, churches, spiritualistic
ways of thinking, *other than* yours (whatever yours might be)? I can't
imagine that *all* of just the "organized" ones claim that their
associated deity created intelligent life only on this earth. Even if
they did, anyone could start a belief-system which did not have that
tenet. (And, there must be many that simply do not address that subject
specifically.)

You prefer evolution to all of these?
