Could it be that the written history about the missing link a lie and we are the aliens?

It's unlikely because we have the same genetic code as every other species on earth and we share a lot of DNA with other apes. We have also found plenty of other hominids.

These two propositions aren't mutually exclusive. The history of evolution doesn't preclude us from being aliens. In fact, we are aliens with almost 100 percent certainty and anybody who disagrees (for example MathFan) has an inaccurate understanding of the universe we live in. Life didn't just pop up randomly on Earth out of nowhere. That's fucking stupid. Not only is it fucking stupid, but all the experimental science conducted to date verifies that it's fucking stupid. Abiogenesis is a pseudo-scientific myth without a shred of credible evidence supporting it as a theory. It's an example of what happens when you make a conclusion first and then look for the evidence to support it -- which, after fifty years of trying, has proven to be a fruitless endeavour.

The fact of the matter is that, while the Earth contained all the required chemicals necessary for life to grow, flourish and evolve, it obviously is not the source of life itself. That idea is, as I have already correctly asserted, fucking stupid. The planet is approximately four and a half billion years old, and there is evidence of life at least as far back as three and a half billion years ago. Which means, at best, the Earth had about a billion years to randomly throw up the genetic blueprint out of nowhere.

Something hit Earth. Fuck knows what it was or where it came from, but something brought the first life to Earth, probably in bacterial form. From there it just bathed in all the nice rich chemicals and grew and evolved. There was a story in the press a year or two ago which adds support to the notion. Some NASA scientists found what they believed might be an alien microbe in the upper atmosphere.

In any case, it makes sense to me to believe that the source of life is probably spread throughout the universe rather than just centred on Earth and other planets where there's some chemical reaction which isn't understood and can't be reproduced in a lab. Maybe it's something created in stars and then blasted out into space when they go supernova. Who knows? All I can be reasonably certain of is that life isn't something which popped out of nowhere.

Wow. A whole post dedicated to preemptive character attacks against whomever might disagree with you in favor of prevailing theory. And all so you can assert that you don’t have a better theory, but that the prevailing one has to be “fucking stupid”.

The fact that life began by unknown means does not make it more reasonable to believe it began somewhere other than the one place we know it exists. If it did begin elsewhere, the task would still be to identify how. Making any assertion baselessly, as you are so often inclined to do, is “fucking stupid”.

Hello D:

Sure.. They could look exactly like us.. In fact, we might BE aliens.. In our search for the origins of life, there is a theory that life on earth came from outer space embedded on asteroids.

And, here we are..

How does the theory suppose it came to be on asteroids ?

Hello A:

I don't think they know HOW it came to BE on them.. They're just suggesting that it was..

They think water came from asteroids, too.. I dunno if they know what the origin of water is. But, I'm thinking if there's water IN the Universe NOW, then it's probably been there for a long time..

Where did the asteroid life come from?

I picture any futuristic civilization as AI that is based off of the personality of their creator(s).
