Leave aside the little green Martian tales, with all seriousness. I can't help myself from wondering that the most likely scenario for human life is that we we were created and planted here by a superior life form. Is this form God? Could be, but I think aliens made us.
My reasons are plenty. I follow science, cloning, Human genome sequencing, etc. Although we are not there yet, there is no doubt in my mind that in another 500-1000 years, assuming we do not destroy ourselves, that humans will be able to create life form. The evidence is there. We will likely be able to be virtually immortal too. So figuring that the universe in hundreds of billions of years old and that other life supporting planets exist my the billions, I have concluded we are not alone. Then I ask myself, where will science be from it's current pace in 500,1K, 1 million years? The possibilities are endless. We were created, but by whom? I believe aliens created us and the government knows ask Jimmy Carter

Either abiogenesis or panspermia.
Alien seeding is unlikely in the extreme, due to the incredible fragility/simplicity of early life (but more likely than sky-daddy.)

God does qualify as an alien and you are mostly correct.
We, however, don't know conclusively we are NOT alone.
There is NO proof we know.
If there is a government conspiracy it's a pretty good one. The Russians knew we had an A-Bomb but Vice President Truman didn't know that!
If we know there are aliens, then so do Russia, China, Israel, Britain, Australia, Belgum, France and Germany.
They ain't stupid.
Some of their "spies" are better than ours!
That would be a conspiracy that defies ideolology. That's a hard one of fathom.
China, Japan, Sweden, Germany, England, FRANCE and US all agreeing to keep one thing quiet.
That's science fiction!

"Then I ask myself, where will science be from it's current pace in 500,1K, 1 million years? The possibilities are endless."
I am more pessimistic. If you look at societies that lived on this earth, they ceased to exist within 300 years on the average. I seriously think that it will be very very hard for humans to survive the next 1000 years

Well, first: the universe isn't "hundreds of billions of years old" -- it's about 14 billion years old.
Second, you can believe anything you want to, just like creationists. But without evidence to back up your belief, it's nothing but a thought exercise with no relation to the real world.
There's no evidence of any kind to back up creationism, and there's no evidence of any kind that we were created by aliens.
While both ideas are technically possible, no evidence means NO EVIDENCE.
The only "origin of human life" idea that *does* have evidence to back it up is the natural evolution of life from common organic chemicals, and the diversifying and spreading of that life through evolution by natural selection. And there's quite a bit of evidence to back that idea up -- your idea would have to first show that evidence wrong, and second provide evidence that aliens made us. Neither is very likely...so excuse me if I don't bother to worry about your "belief."
Peace.

if aliens made us, then who made them? more aliens?? and if so, then who made THOSE aliens?? ultimately, there must've been a SIMPLER beginning rather than more complex.
if you understand chemistry correctly, then you know that specific molecules attract other specific molecules and that self replication isn't that farfetched. and once you have self replicating molecules, natural selection will be able to direct those lineages toward complexity. there's really no reason to invoke any sort of intelligent agent as a designer. doing that answers nothing and only delegates the problem.

i believe we were a simple single celled organism. through the years we had evolved. this is the idea that was used in charles darwin's book. no one is sure what the future holds for the human race. for all we know we could have another ice age and it will wipe out all life and the evolution process will start all over again.

From amoeba and protozoa more than likely. Humans appear to be the most highly evolved species on this earth, but who is to say what other life-forms exist elsewhere.

Then who created the aliens???
Take off your Star Trek costume, put down the pretend phaser and open your eyes.

The Creator explained it all in simple terms and sent Prophets to continue explaining but they were too demanding so we did away with them. if you can find a "could be" why bother with facts (could be we just happened. I could be started with slime but then why slime? Why not just Poof!!!?)
