Aliens with advanced technology need not have bodies that are filled with indicators of intelligent design, as we do.
Yeah, the thing is, we don't have that either. But if this was the case, the theory of evolution still holds true for the aliens.
Other suggestions I have seen include the world of the matrix and future humans using time machines.
If the matrix is the case, then humans still evolved, yet the world we see around us isn't "real". In case of the time machine, you run into a paradox, namely, where did those future humans come from? If their ancestors HAD to be designed by them, then they couldn't have gotten there, now could they?
Even if we assume that the designer was a god, that still leaves many options open other than a literal interpretation of Genesis.
And who said "creationism" only refers to a literal interpretation of Genesis? "Creationism" is simply every belief that a supernatural being or force is responsible for the life of this planet, or even the planet or the universe itself. There are Hindu creationists, you know.
I hunt for the truth
