00:00:24,945 --> 00:00:29,512 Or is our intelligence the result of an otherworldly design? 8 00:00:31,417 --> 00:00:33,783 What are humans made of? 9 00:00:34,053 --> 00:00:37,254 Why do we evolve the way we do, grow the way we do, 10 00:00:37,256 --> 00:00:38,723 think the way we do? 11 00:00:38,825 --> 00:00:41,457 There's no explanation for human beings. 12 00:00:41,794 --> 00:00:43,760 They shouldn't be here on this planet. 13 00:00:45,097 --> 00:00:47,097 Science and the world of history, 14 00:00:47,099 --> 00:00:50,065 even in archeology, is still scrambling around for answers. 15 00:00:50,770 --> 00:00:53,505 We should finally come to grips with the 16 00:00:53,507 --> 00:00:56,608 idea that extraterrestrials had 17 00:00:56,610 --> 00:00:59,809 something to do with our development. 18 00:01:01,748 --> 00:01:04,849 Millions of people around the world believe we have 19 00:01:04,851 --> 00:01:08,853 been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings. 20 00:01:08,855 --> 00:01:12,423 What if it were true? 21 00:01:12,425 --> 00:01:16,761 Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history? 22 00:01:16,763 --> 00:01:22,066 And if so, might evidence of alien contact help to unlock the 23 00:01:22,068 --> 00:01:25,501 mystery behind the creation of man? 24 00:01:44,838 --> 00:01:47,838 sync and corrections by Bellows www.addic7ed.com 25 00:01:56,638 --> 00:01:58,138 South Africa 26 00:01:59,839 --> 00:02:04,708 25 miles northwest of Johannesburg lie the Malapa Caves. 27 00:02:06,612 --> 00:02:11,449 Here, in August of 2008, paleoanthropologist Lee Berger 28 00:02:11,451 --> 00:02:15,153 and his nine-year-old son Mathew discover several 29 00:02:15,155 --> 00:02:19,157 fossilized skeletal remains of two-million-year-old early 30 00:02:19,159 --> 00:02:24,796 humans, including a female adult and male child, perhaps a 31 00:02:24,798 --> 00:02:26,400 mother and son. 32 00:02:28,802 --> 00:02:33,438 The size and shape of the bones indicate that the individuals 33 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,808 walked upright and had modern hands. 34 00:02:38,910 --> 00:02:42,313 Over the past several decades, scientists have unearthed the 35 00:02:42,315 --> 00:02:46,150 remains of nearly two dozen different types of early human 36 00:02:46,152 --> 00:02:49,753 ancestors, all known as hominids. 37 00:02:55,956 --> 00:02:58,855 We have an extremely good fossil record 38 00:02:58,856 --> 00:03:00,256 of ancient hominids. 39 00:03:01,257 --> 00:03:04,057 and I think the picture emerging from it is 40 00:03:04,058 --> 00:03:08,558 pretty clear that in earlier days, before Homo Sapiens came along 41 00:03:08,559 --> 00:03:10,559 there were typically many different kinds 44 00:03:15,557 --> 00:03:17,157 our minds around this now because of course 45 00:03:17,158 --> 00:03:18,857 there is just one kind of human on earth today 46 00:03:18,858 --> 00:03:20,258 and there are 7 billion of it 47 00:03:20,759 --> 00:03:23,357 but at one time within the last few hundred thousand years, 48 00:03:23,358 --> 00:03:28,258 you could find two or even three species of hominids 49 00:03:28,260 --> 00:03:31,462 living the same area at the same time. 50 00:03:31,464 --> 00:03:37,335 Most mainstream scholars tell us hominids 51 00:03:37,337 --> 00:03:40,838 evolved from an ape ancestor nearly six million years ago 52 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,644 through what is referred to as natural selection. 53 00:03:46,346 --> 00:03:50,748 This theory of evolution was first popularized by English 54 00:03:50,750 --> 00:03:52,550 anthropologist Charles Darwin in 55 00:03:52,552 --> 00:03:56,986 his 1859 book On the Origin of Species. 56 00:03:57,390 --> 00:04:00,526 Darwin's mechanism of evolution was natural selection. 57 00:04:00,527 --> 00:04:03,728 That is to say a long-term process whereby 58 00:04:03,730 --> 00:04:08,299 better-adapted individuals reproduce more successfully. 59 00:04:09,401 --> 00:04:12,000 Darwin's theory of evolution 60 00:04:12,182 --> 00:04:18,883 by natural selection explained that organism with certain traits 61 00:04:18,984 --> 00:04:21,384 such as mutation 62 00:04:21,685 --> 00:04:25,585 turned out to be actually beneficial 63 00:04:25,886 --> 00:04:30,386 turned out to be of advantage in the struggle for reproduction 64 00:04:30,387 --> 00:04:35,860 So mutation allow organism to survive and 65 00:04:35,862 --> 00:04:41,496 to pass on to the next generation this mutation. 66 00:04:46,269 --> 00:04:49,540 Darwin speculated that over time, hominids walking 67 00:04:49,542 --> 00:04:53,043 on two feet used their hands to make tools. 68 00:04:54,380 --> 00:04:56,812 This, in turn, made them smarter. 69 00:04:56,950 --> 00:05:02,153 Then, approximately 200,000 years ago, hominids evolved into 70 00:05:02,155 --> 00:05:05,590 Homo sapiens... or modern man. 71 00:05:05,692 --> 00:05:08,758 But many scholars dispute Darwin's findings. 72 00:05:09,095 --> 00:05:13,195 We don't see dolphins building cars, 73 00:05:13,331 --> 00:05:15,331 We don't see elephants building houses. 74 00:05:15,332 --> 00:05:18,569 That might sound trite, but it's a fact that these animals just 75 00:05:18,571 --> 00:05:21,038 simply haven't progressed and advanced in the way we have. 76 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,207 And the big question is, why is that? 77 00:05:23,209 --> 00:05:24,775 Why should that happen? 78 00:05:24,777 --> 00:05:26,445 Why should we be so unique? 79 00:05:26,446 --> 00:05:29,580 Tool use doesn't really come into play for 80 00:05:29,582 --> 00:05:32,283 several million years after the first earliest humans began to 81 00:05:32,285 --> 00:05:33,117 walk upright. 82 00:05:33,119 --> 00:05:35,687 And then brain size doesn't really begin to 83 00:05:35,689 --> 00:05:39,190 expand and really mushroom in size until the last several 84 00:05:39,292 --> 00:05:40,458 hundred thousand years. 85 00:05:40,460 --> 00:05:42,927 So, actually six million years of human evolution, there are 86 00:05:42,929 --> 00:05:46,130 millions of years separating each of those major features: 87 00:05:46,132 --> 00:05:49,133 upright posture, tool use, brain expansion. 88 00:05:49,135 --> 00:05:51,936 So Darwin was wrong because he couldn't possibly have known the 89 00:05:51,938 --> 00:05:53,639 chronology in his day. 90 00:05:55,141 --> 00:06:00,678 In 1967, British zoologist Desmond Morris argued 91 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,015 against Darwin's theories on evolution in his book 92 00:06:04,017 --> 00:06:05,650 The Naked Ape. 93 00:06:06,852 --> 00:06:10,121 In it, Morris wrote that there was no reason why man stood 94 00:06:10,123 --> 00:06:14,125 alone from other species in terms of his nudity. 95 00:06:14,127 --> 00:06:16,661 Well, of course, as Homo sapiens we still 96 00:06:16,663 --> 00:06:20,131 continue to have a coating of hair, but that hair is very 97 00:06:20,133 --> 00:06:23,134 much reduced over most of our bodies, and that reduction 98 00:06:23,136 --> 00:06:27,839 probably goes back way beyond Homo sapiens in time. 99 00:06:27,841 --> 00:06:31,142 It probably goes back to the time when the very first early 100 00:06:31,144 --> 00:06:36,781 bipedal hominids came out of the forests in Africa into the 101 00:06:36,783 --> 00:06:38,616 savannahs where they had more 102 00:06:38,618 --> 00:06:43,319 sun and more thermal radiation to cope with. 103 00:06:49,957 --> 00:06:52,963 In places like Europe, Northern Europe, why we 104 00:06:52,965 --> 00:06:54,631 lost body hair is the chicken and egg question. 105 00:06:54,701 --> 00:06:57,335 Did we lose our body hair because we began to wear 106 00:06:57,337 --> 00:07:00,171 clothing to keep us warm or was there some other factor at work 107 00:07:00,173 --> 00:07:02,172 that caused us to lose our body hair? 108 00:07:02,342 --> 00:07:05,143 Perhaps women didn't find body hair on men attractive, and so 109 00:07:05,145 --> 00:07:07,445 it was lost because they didn't choose those men as mates. 110 00:07:07,447 --> 00:07:10,513 There's no way to ever answer that question. 111 00:07:10,884 --> 00:07:12,949 If we were to subscribe 112 00:07:13,194 --> 00:07:17,994 100% to the idea of the survival of the fittest 113 00:07:18,095 --> 00:07:22,895 isn't it illogical to think that all of a sudden 114 00:07:22,993 --> 00:07:27,194 we're completely naked and we're losing all of our fur? 115 00:07:27,297 --> 00:07:31,669 I mean, that makes absolutely no sense because right after we 116 00:07:31,671 --> 00:07:36,407 shed our fur, we had to wear furs to keep warm. 117 00:07:36,809 --> 00:07:40,044 Had we not worn any furs, we would have frozen to death, 118 00:07:40,046 --> 00:07:42,079 we would have died. 119 00:07:42,281 --> 00:07:45,883 So the whole idea that we shed all of our hair in order to 120 00:07:45,885 --> 00:07:51,387 survive because we were stronger, logically makes no sense. 121 00:07:55,527 --> 00:07:58,062 But if Darwin's theory of natural selection 122 00:07:58,064 --> 00:08:00,565 cannot account for the appearance of intelligent 123 00:08:00,567 --> 00:08:03,637 hairless Homo sapiens, what can? 124 00:08:05,939 --> 00:08:09,874 Might the transition of hominids to modern human beings have been 125 00:08:09,876 --> 00:08:13,778 the result of an otherworldly design, as ancient astronaut 126 00:08:13,780 --> 00:08:15,581 theorists believe? 127 00:08:16,583 --> 00:08:20,952 Alfred Russel Wallace, a colleague of Darwin, called it 128 00:08:20,954 --> 00:08:23,621 the intelligence evolution. 129 00:08:23,623 --> 00:08:26,424 Darwin believed that the human brain had 130 00:08:26,426 --> 00:08:29,894 been driven into existence by natural selection, but Wallace 131 00:08:29,896 --> 00:08:32,530 couldn't quite see how this could be so. 132 00:08:33,432 --> 00:08:38,903 What Wallace perceived was that the way that humans think, 133 00:08:39,805 --> 00:08:43,608 their intellectual faculties are qualitatively different from 134 00:08:43,610 --> 00:08:48,246 anything that had preceded them, and he couldn't quite see how 135 00:08:48,248 --> 00:08:53,451 this enormous gap could be bridged by natural selection. 136 00:08:53,453 --> 00:08:58,256 So he invoked another explanation for the evolution, 137 00:08:58,258 --> 00:09:03,261 the arrival of modern human cognitive abilities. 138 00:09:03,263 --> 00:09:09,531 His choice was a spiritual explanation. 139 00:09:12,138 --> 00:09:14,371 Alfred believed there was an unseen 140 00:09:14,373 --> 00:09:20,144 creative spirit that was behind all life on our planet. 141 00:09:20,146 --> 00:09:23,379 And he believed that this unseen creative spirit 142 00:09:23,882 --> 00:09:26,651 had interceded three times in this planet. 143 00:09:29,453 --> 00:09:34,959 First was to create life from inorganic matter. 144 00:09:34,961 --> 00:09:37,428 And then the second time was 145 00:09:37,430 --> 00:09:41,197 when animals achieved some kind of consciousness. 146 00:09:42,067 --> 00:09:46,604 And the third time was when humans suddenly were able to 147 00:09:46,606 --> 00:09:50,406 have the mental abilities that we have today. 148 00:09:51,811 --> 00:09:54,145 But he felt that it wasn't just 149 00:09:54,147 --> 00:09:58,781 random selection like Charles Darwin thought. 150 00:09:58,818 --> 00:10:03,321 He believed that all of these changes had a creative 151 00:10:03,323 --> 00:10:05,624 intelligence behind it. 152 00:10:06,626 --> 00:10:10,461 The view that I have is that because the rest of 153 00:10:10,463 --> 00:10:14,332 nature hasn't changed that much, that arguably, we shouldn't. 154 00:10:14,334 --> 00:10:17,335 So that suggests to me we're seeing something potentially 155 00:10:17,337 --> 00:10:20,638 that has gone against nature, and if it's gone against nature, 156 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:25,107 maybe that means because somebody has been manipulating nature. 157 00:10:26,812 --> 00:10:29,611 There's no explanation for human beings. 158 00:10:29,738 --> 00:10:32,038 They shouldn't be here on this planet. 159 00:10:32,239 --> 00:10:38,576 If we were evolved and changed by an extraterrestrial source 160 00:10:38,672 --> 00:10:41,872 from our early primate ancestors 161 00:10:42,673 --> 00:10:44,672 That's the only way, really, you could've come 162 00:10:44,673 --> 00:10:45,873 from the human species. 163 00:10:46,374 --> 00:10:49,174 Unless you, of course, put god into the equation. 164 00:10:49,775 --> 00:10:52,775 Then, who knows who the gods may have been. 165 00:10:53,776 --> 00:10:58,576 Charles Darwin may be crawling over in his grave right now 166 00:10:58,777 --> 00:11:02,377 but it's very possible that mankind came about 167 00:11:02,517 --> 00:11:05,317 because of extraterrestrial intervention. 168 00:11:09,318 --> 00:11:11,918 Did the evolution of modern humans 169 00:11:12,019 --> 00:11:15,919 really received a jump start by extraterrestrial beings, 170 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,320 as ancient astronaut theorists believe 171 00:11:19,321 --> 00:11:22,321 and if so, might there be tangible evidence. 172 00:11:23,518 --> 00:11:26,618 Some scientists believe proof can be found, 173 00:11:26,819 --> 00:11:29,719 inside the human brain. 174 00:11:35,818 --> 00:11:37,862 Chicago, Illinois. 175 00:11:39,364 --> 00:11:41,822 December 2004. 176 00:11:42,324 --> 00:11:46,158 Researchers at the Howard Hughes Medical lnstitute of the 177 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,529 University of Chicago publish the results of a study that 178 00:11:50,531 --> 00:11:54,866 claims the sophistication of the human brain was the result of a 179 00:11:54,868 --> 00:11:57,205 so-called special event. 180 00:11:59,807 --> 00:12:03,675 They said mankind's intelligence was not only the result of 181 00:12:03,677 --> 00:12:08,347 evolution, and that around 50,000 years ago, the genes of 182 00:12:08,349 --> 00:12:12,551 ancient humans went through an intense amount of change in a 183 00:12:12,553 --> 00:12:14,586 relatively short amount of time-- 184 00:12:15,588 --> 00:12:19,260 what some refer to as the big bang of the brain. 185 00:12:22,362 --> 00:12:26,662 No one really knows how human beings developed so fast 186 00:12:26,725 --> 00:12:28,525 in such a short period of time 187 00:12:28,826 --> 00:12:31,226 They don't believe it was done naturally. 188 00:12:31,626 --> 00:12:36,626 It's very clear the fully modern intellectual function 189 00:12:36,627 --> 00:12:39,627 is a very recent acquisition in our lineage. 190 00:12:39,628 --> 00:12:42,528 It's not an improvement of what was there before 191 00:12:42,529 --> 00:12:46,929 it's a new kind of manipulation of information and the mind. 192 00:12:48,730 --> 00:12:51,930 There is no other animal creature on the planet 193 00:12:52,031 --> 00:12:55,231 that has such a comparative point and that is why they call it 194 00:12:55,232 --> 00:12:57,732 the big brain event. 195 00:12:58,733 --> 00:13:01,133 People talk about the missing link. 196 00:13:01,934 --> 00:13:04,834 Where is between the link between going from apes 197 00:13:04,835 --> 00:13:06,635 monkeys, gorillas, ectetera, 198 00:13:06,636 --> 00:13:10,637 to being out to develop atomic weaponry and fly in space. 199 00:13:11,926 --> 00:13:15,026 When we're looking at the origins of man, 200 00:13:15,327 --> 00:13:20,227 we've realised that 50,000 years ago, we really went where 201 00:13:20,228 --> 00:13:22,528 no creature has even gone before. 202 00:13:22,729 --> 00:13:25,229 We have become human. 203 00:13:27,227 --> 00:13:30,960 But what was the spark that spored human intelligence 204 00:13:32,044 --> 00:13:33,644 Was it a genetic mutation brought about 205 00:13:33,645 --> 00:13:37,345 by the natural selection process of evolution 206 00:13:37,346 --> 00:13:39,744 as many mainstream scientists contend 207 00:13:40,545 --> 00:13:43,645 or could've it been a genetic modification 208 00:13:43,646 --> 00:13:46,746 produced by extraterrestrial beings 209 00:13:46,747 --> 00:13:49,647 as ancient astronaut theorists believe? 210 00:13:53,548 --> 00:13:57,148 There's also the idea that there was a gene or genes 211 00:13:57,149 --> 00:13:59,549 that popped up some time in our ancestors 212 00:13:59,550 --> 00:14:02,550 randomly, that might have given the ability 213 00:14:02,551 --> 00:14:04,951 to symbolically represent objects in our environment 214 00:14:04,952 --> 00:14:08,352 or the abstract, those are things that for instance 215 00:14:08,353 --> 00:14:09,953 chimpanzees have a great deal of trouble with 216 00:14:09,954 --> 00:14:11,454 even with the talk language 217 00:14:14,455 --> 00:14:20,255 Homo Sapiens emerging from Africa started to behave symbolically 218 00:14:20,556 --> 00:14:23,556 They started to manipulate information in their mind 219 00:14:23,757 --> 00:14:26,657 in a way their predecessors had never done before 220 00:14:26,658 --> 00:14:31,058 They disassembled the world around them into a vocabulary 221 00:14:31,759 --> 00:14:34,659 of discrete symbols and recombined them 222 00:14:34,660 --> 00:14:36,860 so they could imagine new kinds of worlds 223 00:14:39,761 --> 00:14:41,361 Long long time ago, 224 00:14:41,762 --> 00:14:44,962 extraterrestrials arrived on this planet. 225 00:14:45,563 --> 00:14:47,863 They realised that the planet was full of life 226 00:14:47,864 --> 00:14:50,664 and one of them was the most advanced form 227 00:14:50,765 --> 00:14:52,465 was one of our ancestors. 228 00:14:54,766 --> 00:14:57,566 They took the DNA out 229 00:14:57,667 --> 00:15:01,367 and they changed the basic information in the DNA. 230 00:15:01,468 --> 00:15:04,068 This is what our genetics are doing every day. 231 00:15:04,369 --> 00:15:10,169 Now, the cell was changed, the product you plant into womb 232 00:15:10,170 --> 00:15:12,870 of a female of the same species 233 00:15:12,971 --> 00:15:17,671 This female will give birth to a child approximately after 9 months 234 00:15:17,772 --> 00:15:23,372 but because of this artificial mutation, and that is the difference, 235 00:15:23,373 --> 00:15:26,573 because it was made artificially by the extraterrestrials. 236 00:15:29,774 --> 00:15:33,374 What if as part of the genetics updates 237 00:15:33,375 --> 00:15:35,675 human beings were getting from extraterrestrials 238 00:15:36,276 --> 00:15:41,776 one of those genetic updates involved a software download 239 00:15:41,777 --> 00:15:45,377 biological download to differentiate 240 00:15:45,378 --> 00:15:47,178 the different hemispheres of the brain 241 00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:52,979 to allow human society, tool making, fire, social organization 242 00:15:52,980 --> 00:15:57,380 to be creative, and from that, that particular species 243 00:15:57,381 --> 00:16:00,481 of hominid became the human being we are today. 244 00:16:04,581 --> 00:16:07,380 If alien species out there could 245 00:16:07,381 --> 00:16:09,981 fly across, interstellar space 246 00:16:09,982 --> 00:16:13,482 then in all probability they would have similar DNA 247 00:16:13,483 --> 00:16:14,783 in common and technology. 248 00:16:14,884 --> 00:16:19,084 Of course it would depend on their own genetic composition 249 00:16:19,085 --> 00:16:20,685 being similar to ours 250 00:16:21,086 --> 00:16:24,186 but if they understood sufficient chemistry 251 00:16:24,187 --> 00:16:27,887 and physical principles from their own experience 252 00:16:27,888 --> 00:16:29,388 of their physical world model 253 00:16:29,389 --> 00:16:37,449 then in all probability, manipulating our DNA would be simple. 254 00:16:41,651 --> 00:16:45,190 But if alien beings created humans by genetically 255 00:16:45,192 --> 00:16:46,991 altering our primitive ancestors, 256 00:16:48,830 --> 00:16:51,463 might various versions of hominids have been 257 00:16:51,465 --> 00:16:55,933 the result of experiments at creating intelligent life on Earth, 258 00:16:55,935 --> 00:16:58,869 as ancient astronaut theorists contend? 259 00:17:00,107 --> 00:17:04,476 This is one of the greatest unanswered questions. 260 00:17:04,478 --> 00:17:05,944 The ancient records do not say 261 00:17:05,946 --> 00:17:08,846 that we are part of a social experiment. 262 00:17:09,049 --> 00:17:12,851 The ancient records say that we were bestowed upon this gift. 263 00:17:12,853 --> 00:17:15,719 The gods gave us the gift of intellect. 264 00:17:15,856 --> 00:17:17,656 And it is for us to use it. 265 00:17:17,658 --> 00:17:21,092 So yes, we might actually be part of an experiment, but it 266 00:17:21,094 --> 00:17:23,227 might be an experiment in intelligence. 267 00:17:23,664 --> 00:17:24,930 It might actually be a game, 268 00:17:24,932 --> 00:17:29,200 a kind of the greatest reality TV show, whereby the entire human 269 00:17:29,202 --> 00:17:32,871 species is watched by ancient aliens who have been watching 270 00:17:32,873 --> 00:17:35,677 the show for maybe 50,000 years. 271 00:17:38,779 --> 00:17:44,404 FOXP2 is a gene that was found in our nucleotides 272 00:17:44,405 --> 00:17:48,405 and it is something that sets us completely apart 273 00:17:48,406 --> 00:17:51,106 from any other animal 274 00:17:51,107 --> 00:17:56,607 And scientists have suggested that that gene alone 275 00:17:56,608 --> 00:18:00,308 is responsible for language 276 00:18:00,909 --> 00:18:04,209 And there is absolutely no evidence of origin 277 00:18:04,405 --> 00:18:06,505 where as this thing somehow mutated 278 00:18:06,506 --> 00:18:08,506 from the animal kingdom towards us. 279 00:18:08,707 --> 00:18:15,007 So this gene exists out of nowhere without any origin. 280 00:18:15,110 --> 00:18:20,719 So my question is, is it possible that this gene was 281 00:18:20,721 --> 00:18:25,423 given to us, or grafted into us, 282 00:18:25,425 --> 00:18:27,658 by extraterrestrials in the remote past? 283 00:18:28,695 --> 00:18:31,263 And the answer is yes. 284 00:18:35,575 --> 00:18:39,775 Was it the same non human ancient aliens 285 00:18:39,776 --> 00:18:43,776 so many ancient settlements on this planet 286 00:18:43,777 --> 00:18:46,777 deciding that they wanted humans to be able 287 00:18:46,778 --> 00:18:49,278 to communicate at a more sophisticated level 288 00:18:49,380 --> 00:18:54,719 I think that's the fundamental angst today among people trying 289 00:18:54,721 --> 00:19:00,724 to understand who are we in relationship to extraterrestrials 290 00:19:00,726 --> 00:19:03,263 that may have been manipulating DNA 291 00:19:03,264 --> 00:19:05,433 on this planet for thousands of years. 292 00:19:08,535 --> 00:19:12,871 Might the evidence of our alien origins really have 293 00:19:12,873 --> 00:19:15,839 been passed down to us implanted in our genetic code, 294 00:19:16,077 --> 00:19:20,278 as ancient astronaut theorists believe? 295 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:25,150 Perhaps further evidence can be found, not by scientists, but 296 00:19:25,152 --> 00:19:31,021 by religious scholars, that claim Adam and Eve really did exist. 297 00:19:36,949 --> 00:19:38,349 The Hebrew Bible. 298 00:19:39,450 --> 00:19:43,079 In it, the Book of Genesis describes how God created the 299 00:19:43,081 --> 00:19:48,985 first two humans, Adam and Eve, in the Garden of Eden and told 300 00:19:48,987 --> 00:19:53,356 them to "go forth and multiply." 301 00:19:53,358 --> 00:19:58,428 For centuries, scientists and theologians have debated whether 302 00:19:58,430 --> 00:20:04,067 this story of the Creation of Man was mere myth or historical fact. 303 00:20:04,069 --> 00:20:07,370 The Torah mentions that humanity is made 304 00:20:07,372 --> 00:20:10,974 out of the dust of the Earth, and that God breathed life into 305 00:20:10,976 --> 00:20:13,643 this to make us animated. 306 00:20:13,645 --> 00:20:17,345 Here is the breath of soul, the breath of vitality, 307 00:20:17,346 --> 00:20:20,831 the divine breath that suggests that with the spark 308 00:20:20,832 --> 00:20:23,732 the life force that makes a human body tick 309 00:20:23,733 --> 00:20:25,933 it's divine in its nature 310 00:20:27,734 --> 00:20:31,734 In 1987, scholars disagreements 311 00:20:31,735 --> 00:20:34,135 over the origin of man intensified 312 00:20:34,136 --> 00:20:38,436 with the discovery that the genetic lineage of every living person 313 00:20:38,437 --> 00:20:42,837 could be traced back to a single woman who once lived in Africa. 314 00:20:46,738 --> 00:20:48,438 It's pretty well established by now 315 00:20:48,439 --> 00:20:51,539 particularly from the molecular, the DNA record 316 00:20:51,540 --> 00:20:55,940 that homo sapiens did originate at one place in Africa 317 00:20:55,941 --> 00:21:01,441 and after having become fully modern in the sense of intellectually modern 318 00:21:01,942 --> 00:21:05,842 spread out to occupy Europe, to occupy Eastern Asia 319 00:21:06,143 --> 00:21:08,143 and the old world in general. 320 00:21:08,744 --> 00:21:10,644 It is sometimes called the Eve model 321 00:21:10,745 --> 00:21:13,645 not meaning that we all descended from the same woman 322 00:21:13,646 --> 00:21:16,546 but it does mean that there was a woman 323 00:21:16,547 --> 00:21:20,047 in that early population migrating out of Africa 324 00:21:20,048 --> 00:21:23,748 who was the only female, who ultimately left her genes 325 00:21:23,749 --> 00:21:25,149 in every modern person. 326 00:21:25,550 --> 00:21:28,350 But is it possible that mainstream science 327 00:21:28,351 --> 00:21:31,751 and the book of Genesis are both pointing to the same 328 00:21:31,752 --> 00:21:36,153 moment in ancient time when modern man first appeared on Earth. 329 00:21:38,654 --> 00:21:41,054 The myth of Adam and Eve, I think, it's not a myth 330 00:21:41,131 --> 00:21:42,731 I think it's a true story 331 00:21:42,932 --> 00:21:43,932 I think Adam and Eve were on this planet 332 00:21:43,933 --> 00:21:50,833 they were the first human beings that we know of 333 00:21:50,834 --> 00:21:53,434 and they helped populate this planet 334 00:21:54,935 --> 00:21:56,335 What is the Garden of Eden? 335 00:21:56,336 --> 00:21:58,736 I think it just happened to be the area 336 00:21:58,737 --> 00:22:02,638 that the genetically manipulated human beings, Adam and Eve, 337 00:22:02,839 --> 00:22:03,839 were placed. 338 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,841 That's where they lived that's where they started to breathe 339 00:22:07,842 --> 00:22:11,242 and that's where the population's planet started to grow 340 00:22:11,243 --> 00:22:14,543 If Adam and Eve actually had existed 341 00:22:14,544 --> 00:22:16,744 as described in the Hebrew Bible, 342 00:22:16,845 --> 00:22:20,545 might this also mean that a serpent really did 343 00:22:20,546 --> 00:22:23,246 tempt them to eat from the tree of knowledge 344 00:22:23,247 --> 00:22:27,847 and if so, might this account have been an effort to describe 345 00:22:27,848 --> 00:22:30,748 the sudden awakening of the modern human mind, 346 00:22:30,749 --> 00:22:34,349 when man first became an intelligent being. 347 00:22:34,350 --> 00:22:40,050 In the Bible says that if you eat from this tree 348 00:22:40,051 --> 00:22:41,551 you will be like god. 349 00:22:41,552 --> 00:22:47,852 Satan in a form of a snake tempted Adam and Eve 350 00:22:47,853 --> 00:22:50,253 and promises them that they will be like god 351 00:22:50,254 --> 00:22:55,354 The knowledge that Adam and Eve acquire 352 00:22:55,431 --> 00:22:57,531 as well as humanity in general 353 00:22:57,532 --> 00:23:01,632 gives man the ability to eventually carry out genetic manipulations 354 00:23:05,333 --> 00:23:07,433 So what was this tree of knowledge? 355 00:23:07,434 --> 00:23:12,534 Is the tree of knowledge in fact a helical DNA sequencing 356 00:23:12,535 --> 00:23:17,034 in our own bodies that was genetically engineered 357 00:23:17,035 --> 00:23:19,635 by extraterrestrials 50,000 years ago? 358 00:23:19,730 --> 00:23:22,530 So that we would have the abilities that we have today? 359 00:23:22,531 --> 00:23:27,670 In my mind, it's our DNA itself that is the Tree of Knowledge. 360 00:23:27,672 --> 00:23:31,472 But why was this suddenly a bad thing? 361 00:23:31,676 --> 00:23:36,045 It would seem that the aliens... some of them wanted us to have 362 00:23:36,047 --> 00:23:41,150 this knowledge, to be like the gods, but others said no, no. 363 00:23:41,152 --> 00:23:44,786 Man is not to have all of this knowledge. 364 00:23:44,956 --> 00:23:49,158 This is also the same story of the Greek god Prometheus, who, 365 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,696 against the orders of the other gods, comes down to Earth and 366 00:23:53,698 --> 00:23:56,698 gives mankind the knowledge of fire. 367 00:23:57,335 --> 00:24:02,538 But because of this gift to mankind, he himself, as a god, 368 00:24:02,540 --> 00:24:06,142 is, like Satan, he's banished from the Earth. 369 00:24:06,144 --> 00:24:07,577 And why? 370 00:24:07,579 --> 00:24:10,845 Because he helped mankind to have greater knowledge. 371 00:24:14,689 --> 00:24:18,689 The whole idea or concept of Satan 372 00:24:18,690 --> 00:24:23,290 is based on a misunderstood visit by extraterrestrials 373 00:24:23,291 --> 00:24:25,091 in the remote past. 374 00:24:26,494 --> 00:24:28,530 According to the ancient astronaut theory, 375 00:24:28,532 --> 00:24:34,366 the reason why we have the idea of a Satan today 376 00:24:34,471 --> 00:24:37,505 is because there might have been some type of a mutiny 377 00:24:38,809 --> 00:24:41,410 between good and bad 378 00:24:41,412 --> 00:24:44,679 extraterrestrial factions in the remote past. 379 00:24:47,917 --> 00:24:52,188 And so the mutineers were cast out by the commander and they 380 00:24:52,190 --> 00:24:56,758 became known as the evil fallen angels, 381 00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,496 which they never were. 382 00:25:02,098 --> 00:25:04,967 If as astronaut theorists believe, 383 00:25:04,969 --> 00:25:08,471 extraterrestrials were responsible for providing humans 384 00:25:08,473 --> 00:25:10,373 with intelligence, might they 385 00:25:10,375 --> 00:25:13,674 have also given man the ability to speak? 386 00:25:14,711 --> 00:25:18,312 Our voice box, our larynx is so different than the apes 387 00:25:18,409 --> 00:25:21,309 even the chimpanzee who's our closest cousin 388 00:25:21,310 --> 00:25:24,410 that we are able to produce sounds and produce language. 389 00:25:24,411 --> 00:25:28,611 To a scientist today, that's almost like it was genetically designed 390 00:25:28,612 --> 00:25:32,812 so that we can say words and sing 391 00:25:33,713 --> 00:25:37,113 There really isn't anything more advanced than the human language 392 00:25:37,214 --> 00:25:42,014 So many different cultures, dialects, languages around the world 393 00:25:42,215 --> 00:25:47,815 and the very fact we can communicate on such a deep extensive level 394 00:25:47,816 --> 00:25:50,516 that really sets us apart from all other animals. 395 00:25:52,317 --> 00:25:54,817 Who invented language? Where did that come from? 396 00:25:55,018 --> 00:25:57,018 Was it something instilled in us? 397 00:25:58,219 --> 00:26:01,519 I think there is a mystery to it, that to a large degree science 398 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,220 and the world of history, even archeology are still 399 00:26:04,221 --> 00:26:05,521 scrambling around for answers 400 00:26:05,522 --> 00:26:08,422 Maybe we shouldn't be looking down here for answers 401 00:26:08,522 --> 00:26:10,022 maybe we should be looking up there. 402 00:26:13,323 --> 00:26:14,823 We are told in the bible 403 00:26:14,824 --> 00:26:18,825 that we are made into the image of God What does that mean? 404 00:26:18,926 --> 00:26:22,827 Does it mean that we were made physically in somebody's image? 405 00:26:23,319 --> 00:26:25,919 And so as for the question namely 406 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,620 whether we are descendants from apes 407 00:26:27,621 --> 00:26:29,321 or some other creatures on this planet 408 00:26:29,322 --> 00:26:31,522 or whether we have been truly engineered 409 00:26:31,623 --> 00:26:34,423 can be answered by mythology. 410 00:26:35,323 --> 00:26:39,228 Mythology is able to say that we are not descending from the ape, 411 00:26:39,230 --> 00:26:42,498 but that something happened on this Earth and an alien 412 00:26:42,500 --> 00:26:45,469 intervention came and we were the end result of this. 413 00:26:47,671 --> 00:26:48,637 In my opinion 414 00:26:48,647 --> 00:26:51,447 the extraterrestrials, by an artificial mutation 415 00:26:51,448 --> 00:26:54,048 they created the intelligence of human 416 00:26:54,249 --> 00:26:56,449 Then the extraterrestrial disappeared. 417 00:26:56,450 --> 00:27:02,750 And some of our ancestors had again sex with their ancestors, 418 00:27:02,751 --> 00:27:04,651 with ape-like beings. 419 00:27:04,652 --> 00:27:09,092 And that was called into mythology, "original sin." 420 00:27:09,894 --> 00:27:13,297 Then they return again, the gods, they realized what happened... 421 00:27:14,299 --> 00:27:18,734 and they decided to destroy the whole race by a great flood, 422 00:27:18,736 --> 00:27:20,636 and to restart the experiment 423 00:27:20,638 --> 00:27:24,305 again with what we call in mythology, Noah. 424 00:27:24,409 --> 00:27:25,474 That's all text. 425 00:27:25,476 --> 00:27:27,045 That's the way it is. 426 00:27:29,547 --> 00:27:33,749 It would appear that extraterrestrials came 427 00:27:33,751 --> 00:27:40,323 here, used great apes, other early hominids, created what 428 00:27:40,325 --> 00:27:44,293 would be Neanderthal man, or Homo erectus, somebody similar 429 00:27:44,295 --> 00:27:50,299 to us, and then refined that hominid until they came up with 430 00:27:50,301 --> 00:27:55,605 Homo sapiens... and then the other early 431 00:27:55,607 --> 00:27:58,774 hominids were destroyed. 432 00:27:58,776 --> 00:28:01,777 Might the biblical account of Adam and Eve and 433 00:28:01,779 --> 00:28:07,115 Noah's Ark really be the retelling of extraterrestrial events, 434 00:28:07,117 --> 00:28:10,184 as ancient astronaut theorists believe? 435 00:28:10,221 --> 00:28:14,423 Perhaps further evidence can be found in the archeological 436 00:28:14,425 --> 00:28:16,225 remnants and eyewitness 437 00:28:16,227 --> 00:28:20,794 accounts from man's earliest known civilization. 438 00:28:24,458 --> 00:28:26,258 Northern Iraq 439 00:28:27,159 --> 00:28:31,479 Along the east bank of the Tigris River, opposite the city 440 00:28:31,481 --> 00:28:36,251 of Mosul, lie the ruins of the ancient city of Nineveh, 441 00:28:36,253 --> 00:28:40,986 a place originally inhabited by the Sumerians of Mesopotamia. 442 00:28:44,159 --> 00:28:50,198 Here, in 1842, British archaeologist Austen Henry Layard 443 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,900 unearthed the ruins of the great library of 444 00:28:53,070 --> 00:28:58,273 Assurbanipal, a royal archive containing thousands of clay 445 00:28:58,275 --> 00:29:00,775 tablets with cuneiform inscriptions. 446 00:29:02,079 --> 00:29:07,348 Dating to 3000 BC, the messages carved into stone are considered 447 00:29:07,350 --> 00:29:09,884 to be the world's first written accounts. 448 00:29:10,887 --> 00:29:13,287 Sumerian tablets are probably one of the oldest 449 00:29:13,350 --> 00:29:15,150 form of written record that we have. 450 00:29:17,151 --> 00:29:20,851 They've been translated and tell exciting stories about how 451 00:29:20,852 --> 00:29:22,652 Gods intervene with human beings 452 00:29:22,745 --> 00:29:25,445 and actually had a hand in the creation of human beings. 453 00:29:25,446 --> 00:29:29,346 Whether or not it's just mythology, or if it's fact 454 00:29:29,347 --> 00:29:30,447 no one really knows. 455 00:29:31,348 --> 00:29:35,648 According to interpretations of the sumerian tablets, 456 00:29:35,649 --> 00:29:38,349 the gods were called the Annunaki. 457 00:29:40,150 --> 00:29:40,950 What we are looking at here, 458 00:29:41,951 --> 00:29:44,750 is a sumerian tablet that actually shows the tree of life. 459 00:29:44,751 --> 00:29:48,651 linked by divine beings, you can see here the Annunaki on each side 460 00:29:48,892 --> 00:29:52,660 We also see the winged disc, a symbolic reference that the 461 00:29:52,662 --> 00:29:54,862 Anunnaki had the power of flight. 462 00:29:55,298 --> 00:29:59,634 They actually had necklaces with astronomical references-- 463 00:29:59,636 --> 00:30:03,371 a moon, a star, various symbols, which even could be symbolized 464 00:30:03,373 --> 00:30:07,875 as a wristwatch-- technology being used 6,000 years ago. 465 00:30:08,645 --> 00:30:11,479 The written accounts etched into stone 466 00:30:11,481 --> 00:30:15,550 suggest the Annunaki were giant beings, standing eight 467 00:30:15,552 --> 00:30:19,554 feet tall, who came to Earth in search of gold for 468 00:30:19,556 --> 00:30:20,556 their home planet. 469 00:30:21,858 --> 00:30:25,193 When the Sumerian gods, the Anunnaki, realized the 470 00:30:25,195 --> 00:30:28,930 toll it was taking to mine the gold themselves, they decided 471 00:30:28,932 --> 00:30:32,968 to fashion a worker being, a slave to mine the gold for them. 472 00:30:33,970 --> 00:30:37,539 And they explain in the Sumerian creation tales that this was an 473 00:30:37,541 --> 00:30:38,673 arduous process. 474 00:30:38,975 --> 00:30:43,144 So it's very possible that our genetic evolution was a process 475 00:30:43,146 --> 00:30:46,714 done by the Anunnaki to create us in their image and 476 00:30:46,716 --> 00:30:47,984 after their likeness. 477 00:30:49,286 --> 00:30:53,319 They created man according to the sumerian texts. 478 00:30:53,728 --> 00:30:56,728 They created Adam and Eve. 479 00:30:57,129 --> 00:31:00,529 How interesting that the Bible will echo the story 480 00:31:01,731 --> 00:31:04,366 but talked about it in terms of God. 481 00:31:08,414 --> 00:31:10,614 So much like these highly advanced creatures 482 00:31:10,615 --> 00:31:12,815 we're acting as teachers. 483 00:31:12,816 --> 00:31:18,216 And certainly sumerian culture and mythology is full of stories of, 484 00:31:18,217 --> 00:31:22,917 you know, we're saving visitation from these mysterious higher entities 485 00:31:23,918 --> 00:31:26,918 that you know bestowed wisdom and fantastic ideas and concepts. 486 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,524 And, you know, you have to wonder-- is this just down to 487 00:31:29,526 --> 00:31:30,992 myth, or was somebody coming 488 00:31:30,994 --> 00:31:33,660 down and really trying to give us a push, if you like? 489 00:31:36,898 --> 00:31:40,168 Ancient chronicles of sky beings creating human 490 00:31:40,170 --> 00:31:44,638 life are common in early cultures found all over the world. 491 00:31:45,508 --> 00:31:49,177 But while mainstream scholars often dismiss this evidence, 492 00:31:49,179 --> 00:31:54,182 might such tangible historical accounts provide proof of alien 493 00:31:54,184 --> 00:31:56,585 intervention in man's evolution, 494 00:31:56,987 --> 00:31:59,553 as ancient astronaut theorists believe? 495 00:32:00,090 --> 00:32:03,222 The Sumerians are not the only culture 496 00:32:03,525 --> 00:32:05,025 that talks about this. 497 00:32:05,126 --> 00:32:08,529 Also in the Koran, it says that 498 00:32:08,531 --> 00:32:13,499 language was given to us by Allah, or God. 499 00:32:14,537 --> 00:32:16,704 The Maya Popol Vuh says that 500 00:32:16,706 --> 00:32:19,073 language was given to us by the gods. 501 00:32:20,377 --> 00:32:26,281 The ancient Egyptian texts are saying the exact same thing. 502 00:32:26,283 --> 00:32:32,287 It doesn't matter what ancient culture we look at, they all say 503 00:32:32,289 --> 00:32:37,960 the same, that language was a gift from the gods. 504 00:32:39,262 --> 00:32:42,495 We should finally come to grips with the idea 505 00:32:42,499 --> 00:32:47,599 that extraterrestrials had something to do with our development. 506 00:32:51,338 --> 00:32:54,075 Prior to the use of early systems of writing, 507 00:32:54,077 --> 00:32:58,347 ancient people carved symbolic communication into stone. 508 00:32:58,949 --> 00:33:01,082 Called petroglyphs, the oldest 509 00:33:01,084 --> 00:33:04,184 date to about 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. 510 00:33:06,489 --> 00:33:10,858 According to ancient astronaut theorists, petroglyphs located 511 00:33:10,860 --> 00:33:15,563 in the American Southwest link the prehistoric ancestors of the 512 00:33:15,565 --> 00:33:18,832 Zuni and Hopi tribes with star beings. 513 00:33:22,302 --> 00:33:27,302 The first graphic expressions by humans were petroglyphs. 514 00:33:27,307 --> 00:33:32,246 That means symbols or figures scratched into stone. 515 00:33:32,248 --> 00:33:35,984 The Hopi Indians, for example, scratched petroglyphs into their 516 00:33:35,986 --> 00:33:40,088 rock faces that show people with radiating wreaths, gods that 517 00:33:40,090 --> 00:33:42,824 descend from the sky. 518 00:33:42,826 --> 00:33:47,362 The Hopi Indians say that these beings are Kachinas-- 519 00:33:47,364 --> 00:33:51,366 beings from space who came to Earth in aircraft, who were not 520 00:33:51,368 --> 00:33:54,537 gods, but who brought them knowledge from another planet. 521 00:33:56,539 --> 00:34:01,275 We have the same phenomenon in Europe, in Valcamonica. 522 00:34:01,277 --> 00:34:02,944 We have it in Asia. 523 00:34:02,946 --> 00:34:06,647 We have it in Brazil. 524 00:34:06,649 --> 00:34:09,484 When we look at the fact that all around the world 525 00:34:09,486 --> 00:34:13,821 we hear similar legends of people from the stars coming 526 00:34:13,823 --> 00:34:16,858 down and having a profound impact on the people of this 527 00:34:16,860 --> 00:34:19,594 country or that particular culture, all embroiled in 528 00:34:19,596 --> 00:34:22,497 similar time frames, you know, we're seeing a pattern 529 00:34:22,499 --> 00:34:26,634 developing, and it's difficult to dismiss that that pattern is suggestive. 530 00:34:26,636 --> 00:34:29,837 In our ancient past, creatures came down, interacted with us, 531 00:34:29,839 --> 00:34:33,972 and maybe manipulated us to become the people we are today. 532 00:34:37,611 --> 00:34:43,784 Why are so many past civilizations all saying similar things? 533 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:49,123 I think the simple answer is, is that the same thing happened 534 00:34:49,125 --> 00:34:51,659 and they know the story. 535 00:34:51,661 --> 00:34:56,064 And the story is that extraterrestrials came to this 536 00:34:56,066 --> 00:35:00,401 planet, genetically made and manipulated whatever creatures 537 00:35:00,403 --> 00:35:04,236 were here at the time, and helped jump-start society. 538 00:35:04,774 --> 00:35:12,580 The bottom line is every civilization talks about 539 00:35:12,582 --> 00:35:17,251 the existence of man through the eyes of a god, and if you think 540 00:35:17,253 --> 00:35:21,623 of the eyes of the god as ETs, it all makes sense. 541 00:35:22,425 --> 00:35:25,693 Back then, this was the way they communicated events 542 00:35:25,695 --> 00:35:27,329 that were significant to them. 543 00:35:28,131 --> 00:35:32,233 And so when we have this imagery of the so-called star people on 544 00:35:32,235 --> 00:35:33,534 petroglyphs and things like that, 545 00:35:33,536 --> 00:35:36,772 they're clearly chronicling something real, 546 00:35:36,773 --> 00:35:39,706 to my mind at least, that occurred in their history. 547 00:35:39,976 --> 00:35:41,143 The big question is, what? 548 00:35:42,445 --> 00:35:45,146 But while the evidence of contact between 549 00:35:45,148 --> 00:35:50,051 alien beings and early humans is compelling, what if life did not 550 00:35:50,053 --> 00:35:54,786 begin here on Earth, but arrived from somewhere else? 551 00:35:58,540 --> 00:36:01,469 Huntsville, Alabama. 552 00:36:01,871 --> 00:36:04,071 NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. 553 00:36:05,607 --> 00:36:11,144 Here, in March of 2011, astrobiologist Richard Hoover 554 00:36:11,146 --> 00:36:15,482 reports the extraordinary news that he found micro fossil 555 00:36:15,484 --> 00:36:18,585 organisms-- or ancient bacteria-- inside rare 556 00:36:18,587 --> 00:36:22,756 meteorites that are more than four billion years old, dating 557 00:36:22,758 --> 00:36:25,758 back to the birth of our solar system. 558 00:36:27,763 --> 00:36:32,332 Until recently, scientists did not believe life could survive 559 00:36:32,334 --> 00:36:34,768 the rigors of space travel. 560 00:36:34,770 --> 00:36:39,472 But Hoover's finding suggests that live bacteria made it to Earth 561 00:36:39,474 --> 00:36:41,774 and may have even taken root here. 562 00:36:46,152 --> 00:36:50,052 Microorganism trapped inside the comets 563 00:36:50,153 --> 00:36:55,053 can survive the travel through interplanetary space 564 00:36:55,054 --> 00:36:56,854 and interstellar space. 565 00:36:56,857 --> 00:36:59,560 And the reason is that the 566 00:36:59,562 --> 00:37:03,330 microorganism are trapped in the rocky core. 567 00:37:04,733 --> 00:37:09,268 Around, you have a thick shield of icy material. 568 00:37:09,672 --> 00:37:14,339 And on top, you have a stratification of dust. 569 00:37:15,244 --> 00:37:17,911 Dust is highly effective in 570 00:37:17,913 --> 00:37:23,115 shielding the microorganism from ultraviolet light. 571 00:37:24,253 --> 00:37:28,587 So comet are an excellent vehicle to transport 572 00:37:28,758 --> 00:37:32,459 microorganism, single-cell life, 573 00:37:32,461 --> 00:37:35,662 amino acid in the vastness of space. 574 00:37:38,733 --> 00:37:41,000 Instead of aliens coming to the earth in UFOs 575 00:37:41,009 --> 00:37:42,309 in classic Hollywood terms 576 00:37:42,410 --> 00:37:46,910 a microbial phase of life comes to the earth in a meteorite 577 00:37:46,911 --> 00:37:49,511 survives entering our atmosphere 578 00:37:49,612 --> 00:37:53,914 crashes on the planet and begins to thrive. 579 00:37:53,916 --> 00:37:59,820 The theory that life on Earth began with alien 580 00:37:59,822 --> 00:38:01,689 organisms landing here from 581 00:38:01,691 --> 00:38:04,690 other parts of the universe is controversial. 582 00:38:06,128 --> 00:38:10,331 Called panspermia, one of the most vocal proponents of this 583 00:38:10,333 --> 00:38:14,702 theory was Sir Francis Crick, a British scientist who 584 00:38:14,704 --> 00:38:18,439 co-discovered DNA in 1953. 585 00:38:19,541 --> 00:38:22,641 Francis Crick co-discovered 586 00:38:22,781 --> 00:38:24,281 of the double helix himself. 587 00:38:24,982 --> 00:38:27,882 Said that all this can't happen by chance 588 00:38:27,982 --> 00:38:29,782 that it has to have been engineered. 589 00:38:30,883 --> 00:38:34,755 One of his arguments is that the rotation of the DNA is in the 590 00:38:34,757 --> 00:38:36,856 same direction for all living things. 591 00:38:38,460 --> 00:38:43,029 Had DNA developed on Earth, it would probably have had a 50-50 592 00:38:43,031 --> 00:38:46,432 distribution, and that's exactly what we don't have. 593 00:38:51,008 --> 00:38:52,608 One of the reasons why I think 594 00:38:52,609 --> 00:38:56,609 the theory of panspermia is so incredible 595 00:38:56,710 --> 00:39:01,110 is that it tells you that there is life throughout the universe. 596 00:39:02,614 --> 00:39:08,387 If panspermia is correct, life came here on comets or meteorites, 597 00:39:08,389 --> 00:39:11,156 and we're being seeded, not only on this planet, 598 00:39:11,227 --> 00:39:12,725 but other planets as well. 599 00:39:13,495 --> 00:39:15,261 And it could be part of the great design. 600 00:39:17,699 --> 00:39:22,266 It is the intentional deliberate colonization 601 00:39:22,282 --> 00:39:27,883 of other planets, other worlds by an intelligent race of beings 602 00:39:27,884 --> 00:39:32,084 using not flying saucers landing in the desert somewhere 603 00:39:32,085 --> 00:39:33,185 or in the middle of the sea 604 00:39:33,586 --> 00:39:35,986 but the best way to colonize a planet 605 00:39:36,087 --> 00:39:40,687 you colonize it with your own DNA and let the DNA sprout 606 00:39:40,688 --> 00:39:42,088 into your own species 607 00:39:43,789 --> 00:39:46,361 In terms of our science and technology today, 608 00:39:46,363 --> 00:39:51,498 we have the ability to extract cells and DNA at a genetic level 609 00:39:51,500 --> 00:39:53,667 and save them. 610 00:39:53,669 --> 00:39:57,137 That's how we have so-called test tube babies for couples 611 00:39:57,139 --> 00:39:58,472 who can't have babies. 612 00:39:58,474 --> 00:40:01,740 We preserve the materials for when they need it. 613 00:40:01,777 --> 00:40:05,512 And the day may well come when we send into outer space the 614 00:40:05,514 --> 00:40:08,949 equivalent of, like, Noah's Ark, but instead of sending literal 615 00:40:08,951 --> 00:40:13,321 animals, we send their essence-- their DNA, their genetic makeup. 616 00:40:14,323 --> 00:40:18,857 I don't rule out the idea that we could seed a whole new world. 617 00:40:23,062 --> 00:40:26,300 Today, scientists know that only about five 618 00:40:26,302 --> 00:40:28,001 percent of the DNA contained in 619 00:40:28,003 --> 00:40:31,437 our genes is used to reproduce human beings. 620 00:40:32,007 --> 00:40:35,142 The remainder is an undecipherable code, once 621 00:40:35,144 --> 00:40:38,946 referred to as junk DNA. 622 00:40:38,948 --> 00:40:44,083 But is it really possible that so much of our DNA is unnecessary? 623 00:40:44,420 --> 00:40:46,587 Or might the majority of our DNA 624 00:40:46,589 --> 00:40:49,656 be decoded sometime in the future? 625 00:40:50,493 --> 00:40:52,326 And when it is, what might our 626 00:40:52,328 --> 00:40:56,295 DNA reveal about the origin of modern man? 627 00:40:56,766 --> 00:40:59,899 Just because we cannot decipher 628 00:41:00,071 --> 00:41:05,871 95% of our genetic material doesn't necessarily mean 629 00:41:05,872 --> 00:41:10,872 that that 95% is in fact useless. 630 00:41:12,376 --> 00:41:15,883 Nature is extremely efficient. 631 00:41:15,885 --> 00:41:21,355 DNA is the most powerful storage device in the universe. 632 00:41:21,357 --> 00:41:25,192 Not even with all the supercomputers combined in the 633 00:41:25,194 --> 00:41:27,828 world could we store as much 634 00:41:27,830 --> 00:41:31,530 information as we could store on DNA. 635 00:41:31,834 --> 00:41:36,069 So I'm suggesting that the ultimate proof of 636 00:41:36,071 --> 00:41:41,475 extraterrestrial life will not be found in a crashed spaceship 637 00:41:41,477 --> 00:41:47,883 or in a text, but it will be found within our own genes. 638 00:41:49,385 --> 00:41:53,355 We have so much to learn from studying our own DNA. 639 00:41:53,456 --> 00:41:58,556 We are only just now beginning to decode the human DNA sequence 640 00:41:58,557 --> 00:42:03,931 And as we do that, what we may discover is that 641 00:42:03,933 --> 00:42:08,902 extraterrestrial DNA is built into our own genetics. 642 00:42:09,104 --> 00:42:13,941 Whatever is out there created the universe, this 643 00:42:13,943 --> 00:42:16,575 planet, and other planets and life. 644 00:42:17,112 --> 00:42:22,816 And I strongly believe that this tie-in with whether gods and ETs 645 00:42:22,818 --> 00:42:26,552 were one of the same might very well be the case. 646 00:42:27,756 --> 00:42:32,860 It does not take away from the fact that there's a god, that 647 00:42:32,862 --> 00:42:36,930 there's a higher power, that there's some creation out there 648 00:42:36,932 --> 00:42:42,302 that made the ETs, but I think that layer between God and man 649 00:42:42,304 --> 00:42:45,873 is right in the middle, and that's extraterrestrials 650 00:42:45,875 --> 00:42:47,275 from other planets. 651 00:42:48,977 --> 00:42:52,610 We have to learn that most of our knowledge in religion 652 00:42:52,783 --> 00:42:56,583 is wrong, except one thing there is creation 653 00:42:56,584 --> 00:42:59,484 there is what we call god in all respect 654 00:42:59,786 --> 00:43:04,958 And we have to learn by religion we are very teeny, little beings 655 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,194 in this gigantic universe and 656 00:43:07,196 --> 00:43:11,629 why God is absolutely inexpressible. 657 00:43:11,700 --> 00:43:13,133 It's so gigantic. 658 00:43:13,135 --> 00:43:14,501 It's so wonderful. 659 00:43:14,503 --> 00:43:16,870 So we would never lose God when 660 00:43:16,872 --> 00:43:20,872 we continue to think of extraterrestrials. 661 00:43:20,943 --> 00:43:22,210 God becomes bigger. 662 00:43:25,112 --> 00:43:28,315 Is it really possible that humans evolved 663 00:43:28,317 --> 00:43:32,153 from bacteria growing in some sort of primordial ooze? 664 00:43:32,855 --> 00:43:36,557 Or were we intelligently designed by a higher power-- 665 00:43:36,959 --> 00:43:39,126 of extraterrestrial origin-- 666 00:43:39,528 --> 00:43:42,295 as ancient astronaut theorists believe? 667 00:43:43,165 --> 00:43:44,865 Perhaps the answer lies within 668 00:43:44,867 --> 00:43:47,533 the very essence of what makes us, human. 669 00:43:48,170 --> 00:43:50,170 And with this knowledge, we may 670 00:43:50,172 --> 00:43:54,071 yet discover our rightful place in the universe. 671 00:43:54,271 --> 00:43:55,771 sync and corrections by Bellows www.addic7ed.com
