#1. I would ask you just why would your god make these two species?
#2. I would point out to you that you're typing on a computer; probably in an air conditioned building; probably with a TV in it that can receive signals from space; probably with a car in the garage that can rocket you down an engineered roadbed at over 100 MPH, burning refined fuels made of creatures that died 150 million years ago (not 6,000); that you are not dead of disease or malnutrition before age 40; and that you would have NONE of that without members of your "alien species", or at least hybrids, who's every actions are NOT driven by "because the Bible says...", that expressed some doubts about how the universe was presented to them and weren't afraid to either call B.S. on the Man Behind The Curtain, or at least seriously reconsider his nature or motives. Would you be happier with your burlap underwear, your torchlight, and your tuberculosis?
