alt Hacker News> To weigh up the facts and realise that there's all the evolutionary evidence to show that we did just evolve from fish is a bit more boring.
Your definition of boring is different than mine. I find the reality of what evidence points at to be awe-inducing!
I watch Cosmos (original or 2.0) and I get goosebumps.
There's no need to make shit up, the universe is wondrous.
Okay, maybe "boring" is the wrong word. But just think how cool it'd be if there were bits of alien technology lying around waiting to be found rather than just a non-rusting lamppost, lines in a desert and a few pyramids?
