In the beginning of your video on aliens, you say that the chance of Darwinian evolution is highly unlikely and if it were to happen twice that would support design. Did you mean this as a way of saying Darwinian evolution is flat out unlikely so aliens would’ve been place in the universe as humans were? Or are you saying we came about from Darwinian evolution along with aliens?

I do not hold to Darwinian evolution. It is very unlikely that it is true. My point is that if aliens exist, evolution becomes even more unreasonable, not more reasonable. If aliens exist, that is more evidence for an intelligent creator. Does that help clarify my point?
