Object: Question for "Evolutionists"
Do you really believe that there may be intelligent life on other planets?
If so, what about the possibility that THEY may have created us, the
universe did evolve, and they were here first?
After all, we have successfully cloned animals and are very close to cloning
human beings. This is the first step in learning how to CREATE humans. How
do you know that these space aliens on a distant planet that we have been
long searching for are not simply millions of years ahead of us in
technology and they created us as a long-term science experiment in their
search to explain THEIR existence?
That would be a plausible scientific explanation for our existence, would it
not?

Do you really believe that there may be intelligent life on other planets?

universe did evolve, and they were here first?

Well, I suppose it's not impossible, but as I understand it the
beginnings would have had to have been a *very* long time ago given
that all life is Carbon / DNA based, and has quite a lot of it in
common.

After all, we have successfully cloned animals and are very close to cloning
human beings. This is the first step in learning how to CREATE humans. How
do you know that these space aliens on a distant planet that we have been
long searching for are not simply millions

Billions of years, if they originated life on Earth.

of years ahead of us in
technology and they created us as a long-term science experiment in their
search to explain THEIR existence?

That would be a plausible scientific explanation for our existence, would it
not?

Well, no, at least not unless you can think of a way to test the idea.
With no way to test it, it's simply a diverting speculation.
I suppose one might plow through the DNA of various species seeing if
there's the equivalent of a copyright message in there somewhere, but
other than that, I can't think of an experiment or observation that
would support or deny the idea.
Can you?

I don't "believe" it. I conclude that it's a possibility. We
already know that the universe sustains intelligent life-- ourselves,
for example-- and that the conditions that sustain us are not unique in
some way. Adopting what is known as the principle of mediocrity-- the
premise that the laws of physics are everywhere the same in the visible
universe-- we can conclude that it is possible that intelligent life
exists elsewhere.
The rest of your post is sophomoric conjecture straight out of a

But if you invoke them to explain life on this planet, then you must
still explain how they came to be. In the absence of any evidence,
this just isn't an explanation.

I consider it to be plausible but without further evidence I leave it at
that.


If so, what about the possibility that THEY may have created us, the

You have three separate questions there. First, what do you mean by
created? Second what do you mean by universe did evolve? Third if you are
asking if other intelligent life developed somewhere else first well that
is a possibility but would need verifiable evidence to come to any
conclusion.


After all, we have successfully cloned animals and are very close to
cloning human beings. This is the first step in learning how to CREATE
humans.

Not really. What does cloning have to do with it. That occurs every time
identitical twins are born.

How do you know that these space aliens on a distant planet
that we have been long searching for are not simply millions of years
ahead of us in technology and they created us as a long-term science
experiment in their search to explain THEIR existence?

Pointless speculation without supporting evidence.

What kind of a question is that? Look it up.

Second what do you mean by universe did evolve?

Exactly as it is theorized by the Big Bang. The speculation is that the
universe evolved before the alians existed, then we were created by them.
They may have evolved just as evolution theorizes, but since they would be
millions of years ahead of us, they have discovered the process of life and
we are the evidence that they were searching for.

Third if you are
asking if other intelligent life developed somewhere else first well that
is a possibility but would need verifiable evidence to come to any

Which would take many years of scientific advances to find the evidence.
That is of course unless these alians give us a visit and let us in on what
they have discovered.

Yes, but that is done automatically, not manually.

That is correct. I am asking if you think this may be possible, not that

Created ex nihilo, tinkered with, shaped ... etc?

ok I accept that as the best available scientific theory today.

The speculation is that the
universe evolved before the alians existed, then we were created by

would be millions of years ahead of us, they have discovered the process

Wild speculation. Might be fun as a science fiction story but I think it's
already been done.

that is a possibility but would need verifiable evidence to come to any

Sure. Until then it's idle speculation.

So what?

That is correct. I am asking if you think this may be possible, not
that there is any supporting evidence at this time.

My own opinion is that while there may possibly be other intelligent life
forms out there. I consider it most unlikely that any such have interferred
with Earth in any way. There is nothing about life on Earth that doesn't
make sense as arising and evolving locally without external interference as
deduced from the available evidence. I would reconsider if suitable
evidence to the contary is discovered.

I believe that it could be possible.

There is no evidence of this and the physics of them traveling here and
accomplishing such a task make the possiblity of it happening extremely
small (about zero).

If you could show how they violated the laws of physics, then you might
have a case. Which leads to another interesting question. Where did
these alien intelligent designers come from? Were they designed and
created by an even older and more advanced group of aliens and then where
did these aliens come from; were they designed by an even more older and
advanced group of aliens, etc...? Or did somewhere along the line did
some of them evolve on their own planet? (In which case, if they could do
it, why can't we?) The end result of this is at some point, you have to
admit that you think some god did it (and your thinly veiled "intelligent
design" shows its religious basis) or you have to accept evolution as
resulting in intelligent life.

universe did evolve, and they were here first?

After all, we have successfully cloned animals and are very close to
cloning human beings. This is the first step in learning how to CREATE
humans. How do you know that these space aliens on a distant planet that
we have been long searching for are not simply millions of years ahead of
us in technology and they created us as a long-term science experiment in
their search to explain THEIR existence?

That would be a plausible scientific explanation for our existence, would
it not?


Then, who created the creators?
Elephants...er...creators all the way down?

Entirely possible, yes.

No, unless they experimented with single-celled organisims, dinosaurs and
millions of other species before "creating" the human species.

Facts and common logic show that we evolved and weren't just created 2,000
years ago. See this chart:

Yes I do, and this is the important part, I _believe_ there's intellegent
life on other planets somewhere out there in the universe. I'd be real
surpised if there wasn't.

If so, what about the possibility that THEY may have created us, the
universe did evolve, and they were here first?

It's called Raelism. http://www.answers.com/topic/raelism
I think it's nonsense since there's no emperical evidence to support it.

Again, this is the important part, it's a _belief_ not a scientific theory
since there's no empirical evidence to support it. Therefore, it should
never be taught in a science class.

Possible. It's also possible ours was a fluke.

Pretty much NIL.

After all, we have successfully cloned animals and are very close to cloning
human beings. This is the first step in learning how to CREATE humans. How
do you know that these space aliens on a distant planet that we have been

Given that there aren't any anomalies in our history that need be
explained in such an out of this world manner, I would say not.

It is highly doubtful. The distances between stars is so great as to
make such a thing very difficult. Why travel to a distant planet to
creat new life, when you can simply create is on your own world, or on
a world closer to your own? You cannot travel faster than light. It is
technically unfeasable. If you could travel 1/2 the speed of light,
you're still talking about at least an 8-to-10-year voyage just to get
to earth from another star system.

Again -- it sounds like they would be going far out of their way to do
that, when it would be easier to just do it closer to home.

No. it is simply a wild speculation. When you consider the realities of
space travel, the realities of speed and distance in space, and the
realities of PRACTICALITY, it doesn't sound scientific at all.
Besides, the facts does not lead in that direction. The facts suggest
that we, being made out of the same minerals that are spewed from
volcanoes, being made of the raw materials that cover the earth,
originated here, and that the earth itself provides the raw materials
to make us.

Perhaps because this is the closest planet that can sustain human life.

You cannot travel faster than light.

Really? How do you know this? Because of today's technology and science?
Remember that we would be dealing with life forms that are millions of years
ahead of us. We did break the speed of sound after it was first believed
that it could not be done. We think we know that light speed cannot be
broken, but how do you know that millions of years in technological advances
won't find a way to do it.

It is
technically unfeasible. If you could travel 1/2 the speed of light,
you're still talking about at least an 8-to-10-year voyage just to get
to earth from another star system.

Ok, then if you went 20 times the speed of light, you could get there 40
times faster.

After all, we have successfully cloned animals and are very close to
cloning
human beings. This is the first step in learning how to CREATE humans.

Again, earth may be the closest planet that is capable of sustaining human
life. Have we found one yet even in our known galaxy?

not?


No. it is simply a wild speculation.

Scientific proof begins with wild speculation.

When you consider the realities of
space travel, the realities of speed and distance in space, and the
realities of PRACTICALITY, it doesn't sound scientific at all.

Again, you are assuming this using today's technology and science. These
critters would be millions of years ahead of us.

Besides, the facts does not lead in that direction. The facts suggest
that we, being made out of the same minerals that are spewed from
volcanoes, being made of the raw materials that cover the earth,

to make us.

Yes! These critters would know this and would create the micro-organisms
necessary to begin the process of evolution. We are assuming that evolution
is true.

Problem is you're assuming the alien's level of technical and scientific

of years more advanced than us.

What it there are invisible pixies that created the world last Monday? It's

fiction.
