I agree, it's a constant struggle to be logical about the evolution and the fact that everything happened without any outside help, but at the same time the topic is really fascinating - I admit, I'm quite a big fan of conspiracy theories and pseudo-sciences, even though logically they don't really stand up on their own.
I found this video pretty cool, only because apparently the guy stands (stood? I don't know much about Canadian politics) in high places, so he IS someone in power. Using this power to say something like this should have had a huge media coverage, even though barely anyone knows about it.
Of course, I don't know much about the guy - I didn't even know that he was a UFO fanatic or something, which makes it a bit believable that this news is not that widely discussed (people probably say he is just a senile fanatic).
Anyways, I know of a Hungarian celebrity who claimed that he came in contact with aliens (a guy who I thought was pretty sane before this claim), and he is now kind of frowned upon. Which is weird, considering that in this part of the world people are pretty religious - thus they believe in an invisible entity.
