Well i mean, THAT degree of similarity?
I'm down with bilateral symmetry and arms and legs. Why not, could just be an effective body type.
But as human seeming that the only apparent difference is a few facial ridges?

Look how very different creatures on earth are that fill similar niches, unless they are fairly closely related. An upright biped with an oversized head, a unique and rather impractical shape, coming from a separate planet, with it’s own set of biomes, building blocks of life, etc? That would be stronger evidence of Creationism than all the supposed proofs offered by Creationists put together. Hell, it would be right up there with the proverbial “Precambrian rabbit” or crocoduck.

First provide the aliens and then I would openly reject god, but since no aliens have been spotted, I’m pretty safe in my beliefs..

@OggggO it does.. being you took 10 minutes to reply I have to assume you didn’t actually study any of the words but just skimmed over them... this is why your ignorance will keep you from understanding.. but I doubt that’s what you are really after...
just to drop a hint, several key words are actually rendered to mean as the universe (creation) being in a state of ruin. This can further be compared to gen 1:2 in which the word “was” is better translated as became.
It should read
1:1 god created the heavens and the earth
1:2 and the earth(along with the physical universe) became void and wasted. They weren’t made corrupted, they became corrupted and in a state of disrepair..
Further scripture reveals Satan's rebellion and attempt to dethrone God caused the destruction of our current physical universe
There are other scriptures that back these scriptures up throughout both the old and New Testaments
Anyways, it’s no skin off my back whether you believe or not. I answered the question with my opinion and you can piss off if you don’t like the answer

@Deadcutie [quote]19The creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God. 20For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but because of the One who subjected it, in hope 21that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
22We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until the present time. 23Not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see? 25But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently.[/quote]
No, that does not say that there's no other life in the universe. It says we were destined to be destroyed by sin until Christ redeemed us.
Further, not a single translation of Gen 1:2 suggests "became" is a better choice of word than "was":

There are many here. They call themselves atheist. They do have a few brain ridges and some have pointed ears. 🖖

Nah, nature favors symmetry and there are rally only so many ways to make a functioning organic machine. It stands to reason any evolved life form on or above our level would be roughly similar.
