I see nothing contradictory about anything I've written. Perhaps, agnosticism only seems contradictory to a closed-mind. No doubt, it requires more cognitive discipline than you realize. Of course, this subject necessarily contains much personal speculation. What an odd observation to feel needs making. However, it's not pure speculation, as there is evidence to consider and judge, as well as logical deduction which can be applied, in order to place some rough form on the likelihoods being considered. As these can only be considered as likelihoods without hard proof. Hard proof would end any need for debate, anyhow.

Yeah, like colliding with another planet, destroying all lifeforms that existed, forming a moon and having to restart.
If true, our advancement may have been reduced by half due to that restart. 🙁Do you mean we are prophesying self-destruction? I'm asking because we are still around.
Who knows...
End debate? Haven't you seen those posters with business interest on this forum? For them, only hard proof is the one that supports their business interest. The rest are debatable regardless. 
I think it's silly to say we know one way or the other conclusively what is (or isn't) out there. It's fun to think about and wonder, but until incontrovertible proof pops up all we have are theories.
As an answer to the Fermi Paradox, the whole idea behind the Three Body Problem trilogy is quite interesting. Kind of put a damper on my wish for ET intelligence at the very least 😱
On the flip side, I always enjoy this TED talk:

If that did happen the evidence suggests it happened before there was any life on Earth around about 4.5 billion years ago.
No need for a restart from scratch, if anything it may have created conditions making life possible to evolve.
On second thought, you're probably correct. 😀
That's not the only way though. If you have the technology to warp space-time, you can travel at great distant without experiencing time-dilation. So basically you can still go back to your family once you finish your journey.
Excellent narrative.
Oh oh, YIKES!
No way a regular human can do that without reading from a script! WHAT MORE PROOF DO YOU NEED! 😱

Umm...what? What are you talking about? I honestly have no idea.
How about *any* proof. Like contact from another civilization in some form or another. An ET space probe. Even some sort of non-naturally occurring signal.
I listened this program frequently a few years back when there was regular new episodes and I had a lot of work to do in the garage. The three I linked to were my favorites that are relevant to the topic at hand. That said, I have a hard time recalling the specifics that impressed me the most about each episode. The one on retro-causality (w/ Eric Wargo) is a mind-bending take on possible repercussions of us living in a “block universe” (aka eternalism) but it’s too off topic to link here.

No no, purely facetious.🙂
Although this topic is being taken far more seriously than it deserves...for the last 80 years.
4.5 billion years is earth's total age. Our sun is said to be about 4.6 billion years old. If the collision we are discussing happened, it would have been after earth (and that mystery planet) formed.
I looked it up before I posted.
The sites which mention the collision with another planet refer to Earth at that point as Proto-Earth and put the occasion at 4.5 billion years ago with Earth being 4.54 billion years old.

But with all the crap we eat and pollute our bodies with(junk food, alcohol, cigarettes, drugs and medication, bad air, asbestos and other environmental contaminants and don't forget fluoride). Somehow I would think that would be a deterrent. After all, you are what you eat. In the bible concerning the rapture, doesn't it say 133,000 will be plucked and go straight to heaven where the Lord has prepared a feast, or something to that effect? Guess what's on the menu.
