Yes I agree. I believe god is a much more advanced alien race that sent life to earth on a probe. This original life evolved into the vast tree of life through evolution. It is so obvious when you look at an animals face (not much fundamentally different than us, they have eyes ears mouth etc.), that we are all distant relatives. We share DNA even with bacteria. In some cases this DNA is 2 billion years old that has been passed down through countless generations of life. Something created life and it all boils down to one qustion: was life created on earth through random chemical processes or was it perhaps placed here by an intelligent technological culture? All the Earth creatures are linked to the ocean we are all connected. If god is an alien culture they may be dead by now. Or perhaps they are on their way here right now, it takes a long time to travel through space. Either way the original architects of life on Earth who started evolution (the gods) have no control over what happens on Earth. They are long gone.
