Stopping the ageing clock will one day no doubt be a possibility.
It will then be necessary for a highly intelligent, ageless super-race to take control.
And the production of purposeless, resource consuming human dross must cease.

Get rid of all the rest and just save yourself and a cute Asian babe or a few cuties...Might as well make a harem of it.
The younger the better really, simply so that you can educate them to your standards.

To assume that humanity can sin, is to assume that humanity is answerable to a greater authority
So to prove that sin is real and therefore a human flaw, you must first prove that there is a greater authority to answer to.
Notwithstanding that, the notion that the greater authority is the creator of humanity must also be validated.

You seem to be suggesting that bestiality is exclusively a man thing.

I would suggest that in terms of species development, Darwinian theory explains the explainable.
How life came about is another question.
Maybe it was deposited by advanced extra-terrestrials or maybe it was the result of a spontaneous electro-chemical reaction here on Earth.
Though if we plump for your UFO option, it still begs the same primary questions...When and where and how did the first life occur.
Because I would further suggest that even advanced extra-terrestrials must have developed from a primary life source.
As for science and scientists, they do exactly as the words define.
So with regard to the extra-terrestrial deposition of life theory, what do scientists actually have to work on, to be able to test the theory?
Species evolution theory and UFO deposition theory are two completely different ball games, in terms of what they set out to achieve.
The former attempts to explain B to Z, whereas the latter attempts to explain A.

Christians advocating for a monotheistic deity.
My point entirely.
Evolution is theoretical, though material development is discernible.
Whereas deism though hypothetical, is not discernibly evidenced.
And for sure, someone who reads old books a lot and thereby makes a lot of subjective assumptions, might be regarded as scholarly.
Especially within what might be regarded as a scholarly environment.
Nonetheless there is no necessity for the basis of the associated data to be scholarly.
Though one must concede that scholarly today is not the same as scholarly was 2000 years ago, nor what scholarly has been over the intervening centuries.
Yet still no closer to proving deistic hypotheses.

Within the context of Universal development, why is it likely that there is another more advanced intelligence that is capable of interstellar travel.
Maybe we are the most intelligent lifeform in the Universe.
Maybe other intelligent lifeforms are at the same stage of material development as us.
Even so...If the seeds of life were sown here long ago by a UFO, then why wouldn't Darwin's theory of species evolution still be relevant?

So what is the better UFO theory?
And as I see it, evolution started at the beginning and is ongoing, and will be to the end.
I refer to it as material evolution...Which is a universal process.
The development of life and living organic structures is one small part of the sequence, and I see no reason why as a part of a universal process, extra-terrestrial intervention should not play a part. UFO's and all.
Though I think it unlikely, given the difficulties of interstellar travel, that we would have been visited by UFO's.
But if we have been visited, then I think it odd that we are not already an integral part of interstellar species evolution.
Why are still stuck here on little old planet Earth with nowhere else to go?
Other than an ageing space station, and little old Mars perhaps...Such is the evolutionary rate of human driven flying objects.

All of history would have been played out differently if all of history had been played out differently.
History didn't begin in the 1930's...Nor did history begin with Homo-sapiens.
So for instance, if a mass extinction event hadn't played out back in the day, then ongoing events and development would have been different.
Notwithstanding that a whole load of stuff occurred previously.
The formation of our solar system for example.

@IlDiavolo
Well.
A UFO is a UFO, therefore an unidentified object flying and not evidence to negate Darwin's theory of species evolution.
Species evolution is just as likely to have applied to the development of advanced extra-terrestrial life forms.
And atheism/ atheist is more of a general term that is used by those who see no logic in the idea of worshipping fantasy MANGODS, especially the fantasy MANGODS that developed relatively recently amongst the peoples of the Arabian peninsular.
Atheists do no presume to know the meaning of everything nor the specific processes of the GOD principle.
Therefore most atheists would not dismiss non-fantastic hypotheses out of hand...Extra terrestrial intervention for example.
Though one should not confuse theism with deism. Deism being the fantasy and theism being the associated nonsense that consequently develops

Prostitutes with strap-ons then.
Perhaps you're too old and refined to understand the concept of a strap on.

Q. How many alter-boys fit under a priest's cassock.
A. Only one...Kneeling...Either facing forwards or backwards and not praying to God.

People are programmed to think in a certain way and therefore are likely to return to default settings.
Some people are programmed more rigidly that others, hence responses will vary.
Thereby we conclude that someone who refuses to agree or accept an alternative point of view is stubborn, when in fact they just lack the wherewithal to be open-minded.
So stubbornness is our perception of others, rather that someone else's behaviour.

I reject the idea that anyone can be scholarly about about non-scholastic assumptions.
Which isn't to say that non- scholastic assumptions don't evolve into broader subjects.
So I would differentiate between a hypothetical text and the ongoing historical and social ramifications of a hypothetical text.

Celtism is something of a myth.
The people in question are thought to have been of Central European origin. As were their Pigs.
Though ancient Central Europeans would share a common ancestry with every other homo-sapiens that migrated to the four corners of the globe.
Not that a globe is big on corners.
And for sure, old British pagans did ritualistic stuff that they imagined would be of some metaphysical significance.
And for sure also, archaeologists dig up stuff and speculate about what ancient pagans might have speculated about.
And people went to a lot of trouble to lug 25 ton stones from Pembrokeshire to Wiltshire.
Why?
We can only speculate.
And they brought their diner with them.

So.
Theory is a tad futile.
Because human theorising can be wildly speculative.
Quantum entanglement springs to mind.
So how does one ascertain everything within the context of human data acquisition and management systems.
An Alternative Intelligence perhaps.
Though alternative systems will be similarly restricted in terms of an indirect attachment to everything.
Perhaps alternative systems will be able to convert everything into mathematical sequences.
I often wonder,
If everything was broken down into it's finite state.
Would it disappear.
And perhaps reappear.
Not so much a BIG BOOM
But more of a WHERE THE FU*K DID THAT COME FROM.

Britain's are a mongrel race.
Pretty much a global phenomena
Though a lot of people choose to jump on and off the human timeline when and where it suits them.
So some like to think that they are special, because they also think that they do special things in special places.
Pretty much common global misconceptions.
Me:
I'm primarily Earthling and then British, and inhabit a small demarcated area of the globe known as Wales or Cymru.
Functionally I'm just about the same as any other Earthling of the species Homo Sapiens.
And also physically similar in a lot of ways to not just other Mammalia but also all other organic living structures.
One Earth
One common ancestor.
Probably.

How distant is the partner, and how does a researcher know where to find and observe it.
And how can the researcher view both particles simultaneously.
Presumably the universe contains billions of spinning particles, so isn't it inevitable that there would be two or more spinning similarly at the same time.
