But it is much more appropriate to explain this based on intervention by the Creator because modern scientific evidence indicates it. And when this intervention is accepted, the existence of the Creator, who alone could have done this, gets proven automatically.

These are clear evidence that points to the existence of the Creator, but in line with their worldview, atheistic-minded people declared them to be the result of some hypothetical evolutionary process. This, however, is baseless speculation, as science itself has proved.

Among the things scientists are trying to discover, one is what is termed ‘alien civilizations.’ Besides the human civilization on Earth,
