"This idea does not negate evolution,"

We have to agree to disagree. Evolution is Nature. It is a scientific theory. Intervention by a superior intellect in human development, whether God, or the gods, or aliens, is mysticism.

It is like an acorn growing into an oak. As it happens, it is Nature. If it is one's belief that this can only be done through the hocus-pocus of the gods, or aliens, it is not Nature, and the explanation is not science but mysticism. Of course, some would argue that we do not need the mysticism to explain how an acorn becomes an oak.


**I sense that some, who love this movie, are defensive about an insinuation that its central premise might be anti-scientific or even silly. On the other hand, we have to accept the movie for what it says.
