Consider that the age of the Universe is 13.7 billion years and age of Earth is only 4.57 billion years. There is a big old gap of about 9 billion years -- while the Universe has been sitting there cooking something up.
Is it therefore not such a far fetch to say, some other consciousness would have sprung up and have advanced much further than our own human history? After all it took only about 200,000 years for human to evolve to our current state and we only had about 500 years of science.
BTW, I already know the time specified in the Bible which is more or less of 6000 years, so please do not repeate it at this time.

BrotherMichael:
1) My argument is not Earth centered. It is based on RELATIVE age of Universe VS Earth -- not Earth alone.
2) What are the functional requirements of consciousness?

Yes, I expect there are many more advanced civilizations in this galaxy, let alone the rest of the universe. You haven't even considered the accelerating rate of advancement of intelligence on this planet. For example, go read what Ray Kurzweil has to say about the Law of Accelerating Returns (one source below).

Not only do I believe it is plausible, but probably. The universe is vast beyond imagination and as you pointed out several times the amount of time has pasts since it took us to evolve to this state.
With the building blocks out there in an immense number of systems in our Galaxy alone, changes are in my humble opinion, astronomically high.

It either was created over a long period of time or was *poof*ed into existance instantly.
The former is much more likely than the latter.

And what do you think the SELFMADE ONE also called The CREATOR OF ALL THNGS is. It existes in all times as it created time (whatever that is) the Souls of all things that are and will be. and the physical universe that we live in.

I serve an awesome God it is entirely possible that He created more than one universe. He is capable of doing anything.

Yes, I do think it is possible, and it is hubris for people to think otherwise. Very interesting question!
