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?


You seem very confident that I am the one who is missing something here.
Could you please be more specific and identify exactly which one of those
you suggest I look at?
Surely you would not make those statements without a little bit of evidence.
