    It certainly makes a lot more sense than ancient tales from the mouths of halfwits.

    I could be persuaded of an alien pedigree, but as an accident not design.

    Douglas Adams knew that we are all descended from alien telephone hygiene technicians and hairdressers.

    Surely you could tie in much of the Old Testament with this theory?

    ^ definitely,

    what about Jesus ? he could definitely return, on a spaceship and save the world as predicted in the new bible,

    the right wing nutters would be disappointed though,

    An excellent topic, Butterfly. We could use some thought-provoking threads on this forum, so it's sad when members ridicule you for thinking outside the box with an interesting theory on human origins. It says much more about their intellectual insecurity and rigidity than it does about your ideas.

    As a species, humans are uniquely awkward, unnatural and self-destructive. We could have easily been a botched genetic experiment involving space travelers and chimps. The engineers may have seen the result of their efforts and simply left. Such a theory is no more preposterous than a theory involving a guy with a white beard who created Adam and Eve or one that suggests that we evolved in a series of random mutations from microscopic, primordial slime.

    Discussions about the origins of life make for a fun discussion but until someone comes up with a plausible theory that negates the cosmic speed limit I'll stick with the above.

    All the rest about gods, aliens and the like I attribute to our species odd inability to accept we are just another animal with the survival edge or some might say the curse of creative thought.

    Prove it.

    There are techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge based on observable, empirical and measurable evidence. Hypotheses evolve and theories result. Full disclosure allows statistical measures of the reliability. There are some people in the world who believe nothing unless you can prove it through the scientific method. Repeatable, valid, verifiable.

    Then there are the starry-eyed dreamers in tye-dyed T-shirts, smoking groovy ganja who come up with weird ideas inspired by a gut feeling and a guitar. They're fast and loose with logic and laws.

    I know which group my money's on.

    I bet they thought Ferdinand Magellan was one of the above (or something similar for the time), when he proclaimed he would prove the earth wasnt flat, by sailing round it. Shit they even thought Aristotle was a crack pot when he said the earth was round.
    Look at Mr Gates and his friends from Apple. Everyone thought they were a bunch of geeks with weird ideas (and maybe a guitar) who went with a gut feeling. I bet all those who said it would never catch on aren't so vocal now. I consider these people to be free thinkers, who dont conform to social norms. Look at Einstein or Newton. They were initially ridiculed by people like yourself, when they first presented their ideas.

    Whoa, there pardner ... put a hitch in yer giddyup.

    Did I say one group was better at predicting or explaining these phenomenon?

    Cartoonists and sci-fi writers practically wrote the script 50 years before the Moon shot. Both groups have their strengths and faults.

    Rats and pigeons have a survival edge, we have gone one step further don't you think?

    He already has, several times in different guises, and they're all safe on heavy medication.

    Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)

    When the film was screened for Ronald Reagan, he told Spielberg that "There are probably only six people in this room who know how true this is."

    If I heard it myself I'd believe. Well, if someone else said it.

    Never doubted we've been visited or that evidence exists, am also familiar with the Roswell footage, hangar 84 etc, but in regard to origin I'm still committed to a tossup between cosmic accident (bacteria or whatever) and slime via monkey.

    Which if any is the right one? A perfectly logical answer is both, with the former being cause and the latter effect, so that neither event could have occurred without the other.

    The one thing I cannot get my head around is any theory that draws on intelligent design.
