science? In other words does not god explain the big bang to the ignorant and not the other way around? Thor explained thunder to the ignorant, Zeus explained lightening etc. Does not man invent a god to explain the naturan forces that he does not understand?

I've always felt that primitive man used the idea of god as a way of explaining what could not be explained during a time when primitive man was clueless to his surroundings and why things happened the way they did.

Yes. But also, religious belief was/is an excellent way of structuring and imposing oreder on a society.
Do you want a new law? Finding it hard to convince your subjects? Well tell them it is god's law and if they don't do it they will go to hell for infinity. A much better punishment that chopping off your hand.

extraterrestrial beings might could be from a celebrity equipment exterior ours. To get here those extraterrestrial beings might have had to have got here upon a thank you to triumph over easy velocity, or developed a technologies that yielded close to to easy velocity and utilized relativistic time dilation to do it in one technology, or used generational ships. Any of those opportunities require an massive and in intensity expertise of astronomy, phsyics, chemistry, genetics. This point of classification even in physics might have inexorably led those extraterrestrial beings to have got here upon the remenant radiation from the super bang. (a incredibly calmly disbursed sign interior the microwave area of the spectrum). With that time of scientific expertise--it particularly is larger than our very own--i might suspect that those extraterrestrial beings might view us as some hick small city persons whilst they understood the belief.
