Morgan Freeman doesn’t think aliens will eat us
Morgan Freeman is no scientist, as the Oscar-winning megastar is quick to point out. But he knows a thing or two about physics, in part because of his role as executive producer and host of the life itself is intelligent. All life has intelligence. Otherwise it doesn’t exist.
Some have argued that intelligent alien beings might be carnivorous–and want to eat us if they came to Earth. Do you worry about that? Noooo. Suppose they are carnivorous. Does that mean they eat us?
Have you ever had a “close encounter?” No, I have not. I cannot believe that we have been secretly visited by another life form that didn’t leave more of a record of its having been here. If they came, why leave? It had to be an enormous journey.
Do you believe in “intelligent design?” No. Let me clarify that answer. Because intelligent design is exactly what we see. But does that come from some being? I think life itself is intelligent. I don’t think necessarily that a creator had to be involved.
Was there a particular purpose in including “intelligent design” in the episode? You can’t go on any show and say, “I can say what I believe but I can’t say what is.” I don’t know what is. We want to present both sides of any–because it is all predicated on faith. It is what you believe. And on this show we want to accept all ideas and be inclusive.
So you don’t believe that a “creator” is responsible for life? Now, you are talking to Morgan Freeman, actor. You are not talking to Morgan Freeman, scientist, or Morgan Freeman, theologian, or any of that,
