At a recent family gathering, a relative held forth on his beliefs about our origins. He firmly believes that we are aliens from another planet outside our solar system, and that we were left here on Earth as a kind of colonisation experiment........................ What do you think?
Its an interesting theory. I always thought that we were unknowing participants in a kind of inter-galactic reality tv show, a kind of experiment that's constantly monitored from somewhere else in the Universe. I think thats why people get 'abducted' by aliens, it's just the producers checking up on the species!
Theories seem to relate that we all have been placed on earth from somewhere, a dying planet, travelers to repopulate, Who Knows but in all cultures their seems to be this myth. Uncertain myself. but very plossible
Sometimes I wonder where my family is from. lol I don't think fro outerspace though.
While it is perhaps possible that some proto-life producing material came to Earth from space and was integrated into life on Earth, Humans certainly did not come from an Alien race. The genetic building blocks of all life on Earth are too similar across kingdoms and species to have seperate origins.
So maybe ALL life on Earth has some common extraterrestrial origin, Mankind alone is not "Alien" while the rest of the life forms on the world are "native" to Earth.
I persoanlly think that we are so disassociated from evolution that we cannot often assign it to our own history. But thats just what I think.
although there have been many interesting views on this. I would have to say, no i personally do not think we are aliens. But , that is just my thoughts.
i watched the craziest show on Discovery, it was about how the missing link was aliens. They had even found a skull that was carbon dated and everything, the scientific community simply said it was a mutated human skull, but the thing looks just like a grey with the features
If we were seeded here, it had to be back in the day of Australopithecus, around 4 million years ago. More than just that had to be seeded though, since we are 98.4% genetically similar to chimps and a little less similar to gorillas, the whole primate group of species would have had to be seeded.
I don't think we're aliens. I think we are the product of evolution.
No we are not aliens. God, L. Ron hubbard must be laughing his ass off in rich man heaven.
i really believe that if we were created by intelligent design it maks more sense that we were created by an alien species than a god. i dont believe in evolution i think that is way off. but i myself am torn between the wanting to believe in an after life and that we were created by a god, but the facts for me state otherwise. i think there is more proof on earth that we were created by an alien life form than a god. i think when we die thats it there is nothing after wards but i am truely hoping that there is something.
If we were created by aliens then there is no after life, atleast in my opinion but i could be and im hoping i am wrong....
I think that the gist of the thread is supposing that humanity was transplanted here, as is, not engineered by an alien culture.
yes you are right and ofcourse i always end up off topic
and either way you look at intelligent design we are not native to this planet. if god created us or if we are aliens then we are not natural. the only theory that would make us natural inhabitants in my opinion is evolution. and i dont believe in evolution
so if i think we are aliens? yes in one form or another we are not natural to this planet, but hey thats just my opinion and everyone has their own
The problem is people think we don't relate to the environment as well as we should but tha has a lot to do with us using are intelligence over are instincts. I have seen or heard people survive in the wilderness because they accepted their instincts. There has been cases of wild humans who were raised by wild animals and have adapted to that environment naturally. I don't think we are so much at odds with the environment as so much we evolved over time to use creative methods to survive on this world.
Take it we have more in common with Apes then we do with any species including ourselves. Apes have similar if not exact features of us and we keep denying this day in and day out.
It is possible we came from another star but I doubt it. I do think maybe the ancients gods or the ancient God (to whatever you believe in) were from other worlds and maybe so happen were advance enough to create life.
We can't really say without true proof and it would be odd for our ancestors who have the intelligence to get us here to not have some record of were we come from. Yes things could happen over a period of thousands of years but still there has been no record of such event. The only records is that of human history that talks about ancient gods and so on and so forth. I have yet to see an Egyptian tablet or a Greek scripture or even in the bible itself that we come from another world directly.
But still it is hard to tell.
we are not evolved from apes - and Darwin never suggested we were. all that he claimed is that apes and man had a common ancestor - the protosimian, which is more like a lemur than an ape. it's sort of halfway between cat and monkey - so it is more accurate to say we are evolved from cats than apes.
there is palaentological evidence to show that man has evolved slowly from lemur like creatures, to early hominids, to homo erectus, and eventually to homo sapiens in very gradual stages. there is no missing link as such - all the links are there. whether neanderthal man ever featured in our ancestory or not is open to debate. it is thought to be possible, but there is no evidence to suggest it yet.
it is possible however that we are of extraterestrial origin. it is still a possibility that the first strands of DNA that grew and mutiplied in primordial soup may have actually arrived in a meteororite. there is also a theory that the flu virus came to Earth that same way. Flu is a relatively new virus that was unknown before the last century.
Hmmm maybe so but I heard varies theories on the subject of evolution and were we came from. I don't directly believe that we have a missing link. I do agree with that.
They did a study not that long ago on how mankind started walking upright. They believed it was the fact we once lived in the trees and learned by using the branches. It was interesting and I saw it so long ago that I can't directly remember everything.
Still we do have a relation with Apes not just by DNA. Not saying we evolved from them but much more like we evolved from a common ancestor. But then again all life has a common ancestor in the end. If you look at it even from an evolutionary look or a religious one we all have a common ancestor on this very planet.
your saying dna well we share common dna from pond scum are we relatd to that too
Maybe. You can't really say because their is hundreds of theories on the subject.
You can't just make it sound like it is impossible.
In the end we all have some common ancestors with all life. The universe itself is connected with each other. We all come from the same energy and relate on some level.
Thinking beyond the scope of any genetics, or indeed any sciences who or what can actually prove that we are aliens, or if we are not aliens. On a different note, I do a few aliens myself but they are of the human race ;)
i think it makes for good tv and movies, but in real life, we are from here, and our ancestories. even though some of my friends often make me wonder!!!
i think in someway we all are aliens when your first born you are new to the earth so wont that make you one?
I've always thought about it too......to us, we aren't necessarily aliens but to lifeforms on other planets or in other galaxies, that's probably what we would be considered as.
I am not sure what we are & if we were planted here or not. All the ideas seem to be absurd & honestly ive never gave it any real thought to any of it before.
Well it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize we are an anomaly of nature...it's also one of the factor which helped spreading religious believes as well gave a push to scientific research in many areas...
I am one who is very much open to this idea that we were engineered in what we are by some intelligent alien entities.. yet for those I don't find any contradiction with those who believe we were created by the concept God almighty as religiously argued because it does still leave that consideration albeit our creation wouldn't have been so direct...which would parallel the saying 'God acts in mysterious ways' hehe
"i think we came from apes."
Ok, what about the other apes that didn't change? I do believe that there is a greater potential out there. Why it isn't shared with us, I do not know. Perhaps knowledge is being kept from us, but why?
I do not believe that. since this is our planet and our bodies are evolutionised to this planet I doubt it.
I dont think that we are aliens from another planet...
P.S for the people who said they belive we came from apes they have found DNA proof that we did not evovle from apes...
yes but we do have close relations with apes. so i think people base their thoughts on that.
you know that made me think this post i mean...
look at my theory...
how about this we are lab rats for an alien organisim... look why i think...
what about the book of revelation and other religon realated books... they have fortold our future true ???
what they have said in there some of those things have already happened...
so what i think it is some people talk about past lives well how about this theory of mine...
we are an experiment for aliens that have not been succeful we have not been able to adapt and survive an etenity i think that we will all die one day in a world war 3 the final battle and the books where written by aliens trying to show us the path that we have already taken before they are trying to change the out come by telling us what has happened before i guess before would be an alternate reality so they are trying to find the create a perfect life form but they keep failing and with every faliure they try a new way to warn us for our future...
tell me what you ladies and gentleman think...
Nannu, Nannu to all my alien brothers and sisters
We are the result of intelligent design AND evolution. The intelligent design placed us here KNOWING that the evolutionary forces at work on THIS Planet would act upon us
you know what? that's actualy a good question. come to think of it, i think aliens put us here, not god.
I personally have believed that some races on this planet came from other worlds or a world that was dying. My theory has been based on that indigenous people have a tendency to be basically behind in technology. Not due to being poor but due to the lack of understanding or desire to move forward.
I feel the druids, Aztecs and egyptians had at least been visited and taught to do the things they do.
But like i said its just my theory, and idea so don't shoot me down! Just expressing my thoughts. I don't believe there is a right or wrong in this case. And we always have the right to choose what we believe.
I think that we might be aliens to other aliens out there.
We are not aliens lol we are a select generation of life human life if you well, god made all of you so when you die your soul leaves your body not ur body leaves the grave lol, its proovon facts if you belive in where human nature came from alliens no another planet no but maybe alliens do exzist some where in this galaxcy lol but were not alliens I dont belive.
Dark Greeting's,
Yes We Are.I've said this before a science expirment gone terribly wrong.So it was turned into a prison planet and we're all inmates.I raelly do believe this although most people think it is sarcastic.I assure you I'm not.
Dark Blessing's,
KA
no i dont believe we are from another world. I believe we are watched and guarded from other worlds and in our past we have worshipped other worlds. I think or techknowlegie is to poor. And we are being protected and guided by aliens
as much as I want to say the whole "you never know what is out side of our universe. We cant be the only ones around" I want to kick ur family member in the shin! To not understand someones beliefs and push it off as them being an alien is retarded.
I have never believed in evolution or creationism in the sense of a great god in some isolated place creating man then divorcing himself if it is even a he or exists to go his merry way. I believe man was genetically engineered by a race of beings that came here long ago. There are signs in things pertaining to the Annunaki so I am not saying that theory is necessarily correct but certain things point in that direction but I wonder...why should be be so driven to know? We are here and now and that is what we should live for in my opinion. Those that believe themselves vampyrics are always searching madly for their origins as well...if anyone ever finds out it will be interesting to know but if it goes against established religious beliefs it will be shoved under some carpet and supressed.
i do not believe we are the aliens , but i wont say were not either all i know is that i was born here on earth so i dont think so
I don't have any solid theories on how/why humanity began. I really don't care; I'm just thankful to be here...However, no I do not believe aliens put us here/created us/et cetera.
Its a very interesting theory...na dyou never know its could be true...then again the theory that we came from apes could be true, the theory that we evolved from small human like dinosaurs could also be true...there are so many theories of how we came to be and how we can to dominant this planet! But i like hearing about them...all theories welcome...!!
I know that theory was really popular in the 60"s as well. My Mum would comment on it once in a while.One of the theories I read was, the reason some are so passioate about going into space, is that we are trying to get home. I dissagree that we are aliens.I know my blood is not from any alien race like that.I feel that in my soul, more than I can prove it.
Heres an interesting thought I heard about. What if all life on earth is alien to earth. Namely it landed on earth as single cell life. Theres a little more to it then that but thats mostly what I rember.
I honestly don't believe we are part of some alien race. Now some of the theories involving this have very credible beliefs, but others are just people trying to find any answer they can.
To put it simply , I think it is fun to entertain the idea , but in the end I will still have to go with evolution.
i think we came from apes but i do believe there is life out there
I agree with HellaciousRose. If we were part of an experiment, what would be the point? If it's as some form of servitude, they wouldn't have waited for us to become so intelligent, and the same goes for reproduction or harvesting of genetic material. They would have made some form of contact or conquest by now- but that's just my opinion thusfar.
HellaciousRose & WynterMourn dont you think they already did... think about it the so called abductions... and anyways what about the eygption history didnt they use to worship gods and anubis and creatures... and what about greeks ??
and what about the book of revelations and the religous books.... ???
they have fortold our future ??? read my theory up in my previous post doesnt it sound kinda sane and convincing ??
I've heard from many people we came from mars because the planet was dying, but I never heard a different galaxy
fascinating concept. perhaps aliens abducted a earth creature and mixed its dna with it and created a human prototype that mated with the earth creature, speeding evolution, it could have been a dog or an ape. its hard to tell. but its funny to think about.
Angel4blood,
We are also very, very close--in DNA--to a small bird. If anyone else remembers which one, speak up. This is a bit of info that is taking me back to 6th grade, which is next to impossible.
Zeta Reticuli...
Billy Meier...
Project Serpo...
oooh the temptation...
Ive heardd of this.. and athough it seems to be a laugh.. it could be true.. it'd explain all the visits and sitings there has been.. and it could also explain all the odd things we've been expereincing like, somes "psychic" abiltys... IDK my thought..
You have no idea how many layers of cover-ups and false media brain washings there have been over the years.
But sometimes, something of real value emerges, for those hungry enough to search.
I do believe that abductions are probable, but their study of us doesn't necessarily mean that God is an alien or that we are the result of their experiments.
I have my firmly set beliefs of how human beings came into existence like many other people, but I do not discount anything else either. I always say that when I die, I will find out how correct or wrong I was about a lot of things.
I think it is entirely possible for us to be put here by an alien life form. Whether it be for the purpose of an experiment or because of a dying planet is beyond me but I have always felt it was more of an experiment then anything to see how we adapt to different conditions that are placed on us.
I do not believe we are aliens...but im not exactly what we are...it all depends are personal interpretation and beliefs
Everyones an 'alien' in some way or form
we're probz alien to a woodlous
I dont think that we are aliens from distant planets.But there is a lot of evidence that aliens did visit us ages ago.The Egyption culture had a lot of influence of Alien Culture,So did The Aztecs and the Mayans.If you look at certain Hieroglyphics they do show certain designs that are quite similar to Rockets,HoverCrafts and even Helicopters.I also think that we were visited by time travelers of our own kind.And if you look at Religion most Gods came from the sky....The halo might have easily been a space helmet which the people those days mistook.The angelic Wings for example might have easily been a mechanical wing that helped the alien to fly.People at that age drew comparisons to the closest things they could identify with.Hence the Feathered wings on Angels....
I think if you look hard enough you can find more than enough unexplainable phenomena in the world to say anything is alien.
I guess it all depends on whether you believe in alien life forms at all? I tend to think that as i don't believe in the idea of God or the Devil then believing in aliens is just as far fetched. After all i believe in a lot of what i can prove and no-one has proved aliens and more than they have proven religious deities
my mother believes that aliens made this planet but not that we are aliens.
you are talking about a subject that was on tv a while ago. Scientist believe that we are from things that are from the old universe frozen in comets. now how everything change and to be like it is today. just watch National Geographics Channel
i cant say that we didnt come from aliens. but i also cant say we didnt come from god or apes. i think that we evolve because we have to. because times change and seasons change and we have to survive. (if we came from apes, then there are still apes because they had no need to continue evolving)
i dont necessarily believe we come from aliens, btu i do believe there are other lifeforms out there, in other galaxies.
yeah I'd have to totally disagree with this whole alien thing...lol...HellaciousRose took the words right from my mouth...
I really like to think not,I like to think we came from nature but maybe ish in denial,I don't really relish the idea of being an alien being.
but if there are other beings out there to them we are aliens
Yes we are alien to anything that is not like us and what we are,not just from other planets..like my neighbor thinks I am from the otherworld and I just smile and wink.
thats a very good theory it could explain why we dont seem to know how to take care of this planet
We could be. The universe is huge! There has to be more life forms out there
It would be pretty narcissistic to believe that we are the only life forms out there I do believe in aliens and even though we are earthlings it is possible that we were created by aliens here on the planet to see what we would do and how we form our beliefs and lives.
I Applud you BathoryBabe,Yes most humans are Arrogant,Narcisstic being's,I say "Evolve Damd It".They just don't have as much DNA turned on as some do.
KA
Possibly some among us our from other planets here to learn & understand our ways of life?
We are aliens simple as....How have we proof we didn't travel to this planet....how can we proove its actually so old....
How can we proove we are seeing what we are seeing?
nope dont think we are aliens .. but its a diffrent theory havent thought about that before
I think people are forgetting a very good point that KCRC brought up: We have too much in common with other species to not be from this area.
Intelligent design, perhaps. Proving that, well it's really a question of faith.
Personally I think more along the lines of Mr.Smith, we are a virus. And by our own genetic programming, or need to succeed we fulfil that.
We change the environment to suit us. In that I could see higher intelligence "tweaking" with our genetic code to create a grand experiment.
However, I am not so arrogant to think that is what happened. Perhaps we are nothing more than a lucky round of natural selection that will soon create its own downfall.
this is a diff theory that is for sure but i do not believe we are aliens and that were put here
if they did they would of have visited many diff planets to get all the types of people we have here on earth
there are no aliens
you did not see an alien
you will speak to no-one about the alien
don't make us come and visit you.
I personally don't believe in Aliens that our species has conjured up. What I do hypothesize to be plausible, is that if the aliens we have been privy to see are real, the most logical explanation for them is that they are humans... only thousands, if not millions of years from now. Just like we look upon cavemen, Neanderthals and other homo-erecti today.
My reasonings are thus:
The aliens have huge black eyes and pale skin. They have two of everything just like us; arms, legs, hands, feet, eyes, nostrils. They have a mouth and large brain cavity. I imagine evolution has taken place and humans could look like tem in the future.
The big eyes are because they live underground or inside, because perhaps our atmosphere must be harmful to them. Their pale skin is also due to the same conditions. Not being in sunlight caused their skin to lighten and they probably need to go out at night. This requires them to have large eyes to see at night. Their slender stature is also indicative of their technological advances. They probably have found a way to ingest nourishment without any fats, which explains why they are so thin, yet able to move about.
This is, of course, all subjectional and hypothetical, since what do I know, I am only Jens. ;) Anyone have a better idea?
I think simply we came from a form of ages that over get smarter and walked more upright in the world that we became the top of the food chain so to speak on certian things.3
i dont think were aliens however i would say were diferent
i somehow agree with you because there is no proven truth that we just came from only 2 humans and then a million ppl were fromed ands them more and more
