It's more important to look at the questions, than it is to try to find hard answers- because along the way we often find answers to things we weren't looking for. And I think supernatural answers just get in the way. IF, and it's a big if, the supernatural answers begin to BE natural answers, then it will be fascinating to study them- but it will not be the faithful who will do the real, unbiased research that brings this to the table. I'm afraid the religious zealots who want to sell religion as science, get in the way of any real research that could be done in that area. I think the same is probably true of people who really believe in alien intervention. It takes someone who doesn't believe it, to test it thoroughly.

"But the theory of evolution doesn't go towards origination it goes toward development.

Origination is another question altogether,..."


If and where it does not go there, there is no debate what-so-ever on this topic since we all agree that:

The mechanisms of evolution are mutation, natural selection, genetic drift, recombination and gene flow.

However you are wrong as wrong can be about what the theory of evolution goes toward.

Where scientists stick with the study of facts or study of evidence regarding a theory, they are staying within their restricted discipline. Where they venture further to 'theorize' about the underlying cause and explanation of these observations with virtually no supporting evidence, they also begin deliberately to speculate on their extremist beliefs about the originations of the universe. When challenged, they go all goo goo eyed and begin attacking and mocking the beliefs of others.
