That's just it. How can one have evidence from an alien race? We really don't.

We the general public doesn't. We don't now what the hell the government knows.

That doesn't automatically mean that they know or even care about aliens. And without evidence, it gets even more far fetched.

Exactly.  But that doesn't seem to stop wild conjecture from passing as fact.

It basically was a hoax and Billy tripped himself up.

Notice that the "alien

I think the majority is beginning to realize that the government knows alot less than they do...

It took life here between 1 and 2 billion years to arise, and another 3 to 4 million years to develop intelligence.
How could we be descendants of an imaginary race who's alleged home didn't exist until life on Earth was already churning along for 4 billion years and when the dinosaurs were the dominant life form on the planet?  

Life couldn't have possibly even begun to evolve around stars who are still mostly in the throes of their birth.

Is it possible for life to originate faster in some planets in different solar systems? Does life have to originate and evolve at a same pace in different solar systems?

That is certainly possible but as MID said the stars in that cluster are only about 100 million years old so if life did form and evolve it did it orders of magnitude faster than it did here.

In such planets where life could be forming and evolving faster is it possible for organisms to live for a longer period than they live on earth? As a result of fast evolution could the intelligence of species be higher?

As a general rule in biology, shorter lifespans tend to amplify the process of trait inheritance and ultimately evolution.  That is why fruit flies are used in genetics experiments instead of tortoises.

So says Billy Meier.

His "spacecraft" is even funnier.  It is quite clearly a hub cap covered with ping pong balls and other rubbish.

I suppose so.


But since the only life we know evolved here on Earth, our basis of understanding says that life...all of the plethora of interesting, variable, and incredible life forms on this planet, took billions of years to evolve.

You're inference is that Pleiadians may have evolved faster than humans...on the order of billions of years faster on planets around stars who are infants and wouldn't have planets that were nearly habitable by any life we know of, even today.

But we have no knowledge of any life, anywhere but here...so it makes things rather moot, I should say.

I can smoke a moot prety well given a few million years !

If there is life on other planets won't it be shaped by natural selection in those planets? Have we studied planets in our solar system and other solar systems well enough to say that the evolution of life in other planets should be identical to evolution of life on earth?
