UFOs & Extraterrestrial Life

I thought you were referring to Jupiter; you did use the term "sunlight" instead of "starlight."

If they are capable of interstellar travel and are advanced, then artificial gravity should solve problems with calcium loss... assuming calcium is part of their body structure in the first place.

Some ETs could be biological, but nonbiological creations would make things so much easier. No need for artificial gravity or other forms of costly life support.

It's fairly naive to believe we know how real physics work.

With our current observations, it's impossible to go faster than the speed of light.

If legions of witnesses have been reporting UFOs and occupants for several decades, and there's some physical evidence, I think our present understanding of physics ought to be called into question instead of UFOlogy or ET. SETI btw always struck me as a poor approach. Considering we're mere beginners where civilization has existed only a few thousand years, it's silly to dismiss ET because there's little/no evidence he communicates like we do.

If that is how we do things then money should be spent to find where Elvis is because lots of people claim to have seen him...

Sunlight is starlight.

Well it depends on their situation... are they slowly fucking up their own planet and can be satisfied with a few centuries of sending robot probes, or is their homeworld screwed and they need to find somewhere... in which they will be both looking and searching with optics and robots but also biologicals just to spread out and take your chances because they are getting desperate...

The show stopper for inter-stellar travel is the speed of light. That is why sci-fi comes up with deus ex machina solutions such as
warp drive or wormholes or hyperspace or any cheat to defeat the speed of light barrier.

Unlike the speed of sound, the speed of light is a barrier that cannot be crossed. Massive particles cannot be accelerated to and
past the speed of light since it takes an infinite amount of energy to push v -> c. (Put another way, the ability to accelerate to
c goes to zero as v -> c.) And at the speed of light, the mass is converted into photons if one could magically get v=c. Those
photons do not interact to maintain whatever mass was there before (spaceship, human, air). So reaching v=c means dissociating
into a photon gas.

Traveling at some v close to c means that every atom or dust particle that collides with the space ship is catastrophic. Even in
the "vacuum" of space the spaceship will ablate away.

So there is a good reason we have no anal probing alien visitors and can't even pick up EM signals from distant civilizations.

Wouldn't you agree however that reality is stranger than that... and we actually already probably are travelling faster than the speed of light relative to the galaxies currently speeding away from us... also physics is quite amusing... the rules become absurd at the speed of light but not faster than the speed of light... as you get close to the speed of light the mass of your spaceship approaches infinite but then so does the mass of your fuel so if you have an enormous ramjet that collects particles in front of the ship and accelerate them as they go through the centre of the space craft leaving the ship faster than they entered...

More importantly if you can create gravity waves and control gravity you can revert to a zero mass spacecraft for which the slightest push should sent it moving off in one direction or another at enormous speeds because acceleration is based on the force applied but also the mass of the projectile...

Another issue is... would it be possible to accelerate up to the speed of light and then skip past it in a jump.

To a layman like me it sounds absurd, but an expert like KVS knows how odd the universe is... electrons can't exist between the bands they exist around atoms in so when an atom is excited or energised and loses electrons they can move between shells... the first shell has up to two and the rest have up to 8 each, but even when losing or gaining stray electrons the electrons don't seem to be able to exist between the shells... so when they move they disappear from one shell level and appear in a different shell/level.

Why not develop a ship that accelerates up to the speed of light and then jumps across without ever actually travelling AT the speed of light...

Or am I being a prick...

It's fairly naive to believe we know how real physics work.

With our current observations, it's impossible to go faster than the speed of light.

Lots of times in the past people have proclaimed we know everything there is to know and there are just some things we will never be able to do... so far they have been wrong.

The "speed" of the expansion of the universal space-time manifold is not the same thing as the speed relative to any point on this
manifold. That is where the whole warp idea comes from. You cheat the local speed of light limit by creating a space-time
bubble that flows effectively faster than the speed of light. There are no such solutions of the Einstein equations and this
sci-fi fiction will stay fiction.

It is not easy to feel out the apparent contradiction of points separated by large distances flowing away from each other faster than
the speed of light. But the trick is that this divergence has had billions of years to form and does not violate the speed of light
locally and at any stage of the evolution (aside from the hyperinflation epoch). Stretching of the fabric of space-time is not related
to our notion of speed/velocity. Speed is defined as motion relative to some local reference point at a given instant. A
volume-proportional expansion of space-time is an accumulation of infinitesimal local volume divergences that are much slower than
the speed of light. But they are all cumulative as far as we can tell. There does not appear to be any resistance to the expansion
so there is no convergence happening.

So if you could live forever and have magical shields on your infinite energy supply space-ship, you could fly near the speed
of light and reach those distant galaxies traveling faster than light relative to your origin point. As you approach those targets
after millions of years of travel, they are not traveling faster than the speed of light relative to you. And at no stage in your
long journey do you have to exceed the speed of light to catch up to them. In other words, the road you are on is a conveyor
belt that varies in its motion at every point. The "speed" of the conveyor belt is not related to the speed of your spaceship
(there is no kinetic energy associated with it).

Also, the divergence we have today even with the dark energy acceleration is small compared to the hyperinflation stage
after the big bang. Current cosmological theories are not complete enough to really explain what happened. The most
self-consistent theories are those that allow for the variation of G (the gravitational "constant") with time. Another
view is that the speed of light was faster in the past and has gotten much slower.

Of course. It's naive to assume our understanding of physics is the last word. On a cosmic time scale, we're still beginners.

Sunlight is starlight.

But sunlight implies our planetary system where at Jupiter's distance light is far too feeble to be a worthwhile energy source.

I very much doubt they are.

And what religion have they chosen personally to believe... should we believe that too?

Most religions don't allow you to believe in other religious beliefs so you normally have to pick one and they can't all be right, though they can all be wrong...

Professional people can be mistaken or fooled... or wrong.

But sunlight implies our planetary system where at Jupiter's distance light is far too feeble to be a worthwhile energy source.

The word sunlight refers to the light of the local star. In our case our star is called Sol and we live in the Solar system, unfortunately we have used the term solar system to refer to a grouping of stars and their planets and dust and bits and bobs, but no matter which solar system you happen to be the light from the local star would be called sunlight... the word sunlight is not star specific... it refers to the light from a sun and the star in every planetary system is that planetary systems sun.

I very much doubt they are.

There could be 10,000 of them right now... for all we know the writer Terry Brooks might be right and in the future there might be primitive civilisations developing on the bones of ours thinking we are some ancient race that destroyed itself... they might even do a better job of caring about each other and the other species on the planet... they couldn't be much worse.

I find it sad so many people pine for alien races when you look at how we treat each other and the animals and plants we have within our reach... there are about 5 million different species of life on this planet right now and 90% of all the species that have existed on this planet are extinct at this current time... maybe we need to sort our own shit out before sending out messages to tell other species how to find us...


Yes... the "if you don't look after the toys you have you can't have any new expensive toys till you learn how to treat them with respect..." lecture...

I don't know what if any. These people were just reporting what they saw, and they were experienced observers.

There have been so many reports from credible witnesses all over the globe of essentially the same kinds of things…and it's not just witness testimony. There is some physical evidence like landing traces, and some pics that have never been debunked.

I meant that a far advanced system could solve its own problems so they aren't coming here for solutions.

I think they know already. And we'll sort out the worst of our issues before we become spacefaring, just like they probably did.

You mean like the experienced intel services of the US that claim Iraq had WMDs or the experienced professionals that determined Dhouma was a chemical weapons attack and that Syria and Russia were to blame?

Sometimes even expert observers have an agenda... or do what they are paid for...

And also if you read their reports they rarely talk about aliens, more often they talk about lights or objects they can't explain...

Don't know anything about them but when you go to new places and meet new life forms you are going to find new problems... many were there, but also many more are created when you meet...

I think they know already. And we'll sort out the worst of our issues before we become spacefaring, just like they probably did.

So you are going with the Star Trek theme of the Vulcans waiting for us to be ready... ironic because that was a rule broken so many times in the first series... they were revealing themselves as space travellers to all the aliens they came across if I remember correctly...

Why would they care if we are ready or not... you don't ask a chicken if it is cooked yet... you stick a fork in it...

When they arrive from their long trip here they will likely be hungry... a European would eat sheep and bulls but not horses or cats or dogs. Other cultures are less fussy and would be prepared to eat practically anything. English law does not even make eating human flesh illegal... it is only illegal if you killed the person first...

Also related to this thread is this interesting report about a life form on this planet...

That's different. They were "under the gun" and had to go along with the agenda of their superiors. In contrast, there is next to no pressure or personal incentive to report UFOs or aliens, yet many credible witnesses--policemen, professors, pilots etc--have done so.

And also if you read their reports they rarely talk about aliens, more often they talk about lights or objects they can't explain…

Still highly suggestive of ET and credible witnesses have reported occupants as well as craft.

Na, the "resurrection" was initially claimed by illiterate peasants from Galilee, not educated people, and there's no physical/archeological evidence supporting christian claims.

Not just waiting for us to be ready--to accept their reality--but furthering the process.

Well first of all lets be clear, only a UFO nut would claim every light in the sky that can't be explained is evidence of aliens.

Most of the time it is objects or lights that these people could not understand or explain, that does not make them aliens.

These people probably watch movies and read sci fi books and have all sorts of shit in their brains... did you know that after the first movie depicting the so called Grey aliens instances of reports of aliens that looked like Greys increased dramatically... what does that tell you...

Still highly suggestive of ET and credible witnesses have reported occupants as well as craft.

People are highly suggestable... if you put two buttons from a coat on a table in front of a human being side by side and then put a rubber band below it and make them symmetrical... the vast majority of humans will say they see a face formed with the two buttons as eyes and the rubber band as a mouth... but is it really a face? Can those buttons see.... can that rubber band speak... is there an alien under the table looking up at you?

Pattern recognition creates such errors, and of course anyone can make a mistake that Alien chasers reinforce with their shit.

Na, the "resurrection" was initially claimed by illiterate peasants from Galilee, not educated people, and there's no physical/archeological evidence supporting christian claims.

Christianity is but one religion... how many of them stand up to real scrutiny?

Same with claims of Aliens I am afraid.

Statistics alone suggest there should be aliens you would have to be very self centred to believe we are alone or even the centre of the universe...

I don't believe stories about aliens coming here to harvest our genes for their longterm survival.

If they are smart enough to travel between the starts then they should be able to manipulate their own genes which should be totally different from ours anyway... they could just as easily be wanting the genes of a turtle or a horse or a spider.

Not just waiting for us to be ready--to accept their reality--but furthering the process.

Hey that is a nice fantasy... why not... it is no different from the idea of heaven and hell and a christian god that demands faith without any evidence on the word of your fellow man who he made flawed and prone to corruption... if it helps you sleep at night and you can ignore the obvious problems with it then you go ahead.

Sadly the truth is more mundane... there is no intelligent design, life was created by mixing chemicals naturally and required several billion years to get the right chemical set in place... and it was simply a case of mass production and high turn over that led to mutation and error slowly resulting in more viable life forms... to date we are what we are and we need to sort our own shit out and not hope that some benevolent alien or god will rescue us and make things better... we need to realise this is it and treat others with respect and try to make the best of it for everyone...

Or god did it all and we are but pawns...

If they are smart enough to travel between the stars then they should be able to manipulate their own genes which should be totally different from ours anyway...

they may be related to us-if we were created by them from apes- & could need our genes to improve us further or their own genetics, like when certain dog breeds were mated with wolves & jackals to improve them.

I believe in UFOs and ETs but we shouldn't see their hand in everything. ET is not needed to explain human origins, considering that we know of Homo habilis and Hiomo erectus. If external intervention is need to explain the rise of sentient species, where did the first intelligent ETs come from?

But even trained observers, those who know better than to mistake Venus, a plane etc for something truly unexplained (in prosaic terms) have reported UFOs.

In fact many UFO even occupant reports come from those who were previously indifferent even skeptical.

No, apples and oranges. Religious people believe without any real evidence. In contrast, not so many people believe in UFOs despite a plethora of evidence, and not just witness testimony.

True.

I never said ETs would solve our problems, just that people in the future would be more used to the idea they're here hence more ready for open contact.

They preceded Homo Sapiens & were not suitable to ETs as workers & servants.
The first intelligent ETs evolved on a planet capable of producing more superior (God-like to us) humanoid life forms than the Earth.

The Stargate theory... benevolent or not benevolent aliens seeding the galaxy with humans... how ego centric... what makes you think they would settle for a human body... so fragile and short lived... it helps when it comes to trial an error mutation and environmental effect evolution, but if you were seeding a species... hang on... why piss around making half breeds and risking all the best stuff might be lost through natural selection... the apes might not find the upgrade attractive and those modified might die alone and end their gene line... would make more sense to leave a group of genetically diverse types to grow a population from... and perhaps a few with their aging gene turned off... why would you want them to get old and die for... you are making the design and it should be possible to make it pretty good.

But even trained observers, those who know better than to mistake Venus, a plane etc for something truly unexplained (in prosaic terms) have reported UFOs.

the human brain is a complex sack of chemicals and electrical impulses... we know they can be wrong... anyone can be wrong...

In fact many UFO even occupant reports come from those who were previously indifferent even skeptical.

A bit of trauma or family tragedy can spontaneously create a born again christian or jehovahs witness... and the reverse is true as well... many lose religion when the going gets really tough... I believe they call it life changing... and it certainly is.

The lady who used to live next door told me she found religion when she was very young... she was at the beach and lost her keys... she spent hours looking for them and then in desperation she prayed... when she finished promising to be more religious she said she looked down and there they were. She had no reason to lie of course... I am sure if she was trying to get me to join it would have been a much more exciting story... the point is that she believed in divine intervention for the purpose of getting her to believe. I didn't ask what sort of god makes you lose your keys to get you to join the faith, but I didn't bother... she was happy.

Witnesses are not that stupid. Many reports are about interaction not just sightings.

Nothing to do with stupidity... imagine a child that did not recognise any face except their mothers and didn't understand what other people were because they didn't look like her mother... Not just humans... newly hatched chicks had the cardboard outline of a hawk moved over them and they all cowered... recognising it as being a threat. Genetic memory.

Human beings have enormous potential for error correction... when you see a piece of text as an adult you read by word shape and not by looking at each letter and spelling out each word. That is why all capital letters is harder to read because there is no word shape any more. There are plenty of emails around where the first and last letters in each word is correct but the rest of the letters are jumbled but you can still read it because it has the same word shape as the real words. Many typing errors are created by the brain correcting what it sees rather than looking at what is there... double the is the worst... a the at the end of a line and another at the start of the next line if often missed because your brain realises there should only be one...

I never said ETs would solve our problems, just that people in the future would be more used to the idea they're here hence more ready for open contact.

And what happens if we are not ready for contact? How can you even determine whether they are ready or not? Besides who makes the decision?

Maybe what we really need right now is contact so we can stop with the petty infighting and abusing this planet...

The first intelligent ETs evolved on a planet capable of producing more superior (God-like to us) humanoid life forms than the Earth.

First of all if they did then where are they? Why interbreed if they are so fantastic... why not keep pure... surely if they are spreading their dna through the galaxy it would be important to have enough diversity on board to avoid the perils of inbreeding. Second... how do you even know, and more importantly how did they know that we would be like after 2 million years of breeding?

benevolent or not benevolent aliens seeding the galaxy with humans...

not seeding the galaxy with humans, only their or new star system. hybrids would be less fragile & be longer lived. or they could just work on improving us for their own benefit- we can only guess what that would entail.

First of all if they did then where are they?

perhaps they already destroyed themselves or found a better planet to call home.

Why interbreed if they are so fantastic...

their might have DNA deteriorated & needs new material; crossbring produces more genetic diversity; inbreeding less.

why not keep pure... surely if they are spreading their dna through the galaxy it would be important to have enough diversity on board to avoid the perils of inbreeding.

Pure=inbreeding.
Egyptian & European royal families were marrying within themselves & got deformed Akhnaten & hemophiliacs. The same with American Mormons- all men now have unusually large heads.

Second... how do you even know, and more importantly how did they know that we would be like after 2 million years of breeding?

they found apes here, genetically modified them, & produced us. Now they &/ others conduct hybridization, possibly to help them better rule us later. Religions they created/inspired were enough but now science/humanism largely replaced it & we got ungovernable, to the point that we may destroy our planet & civilization.

perhaps they already destroyed themselves or found a better planet to call home.

Sorry.... what? The earth is ideal... abundant water and food and air and at the time no intelligent species that threatens their existence with technology or weapons... compare earth with any other rock in this solar system and it is pretty clear life is abundant here for a reason... and that is before we polluted it...

their might have DNA deteriorated & needs new material; crossbring produces more genetic diversity; inbreeding less.

We will be gene splicing and interfering with nature well before we travel between stars... if they come from a different planet their DNA will be different at a fundamental level because we wont share any ancestor history at all... hell we have more in common with Spiders than we will have with any alien, but even today scientists are splicing spider dna with sheep to improve wool quality and strength... and talk of apes is silly... 2 million years ago apes and monkeys and humans didn't even exist. The animal we evolved from existed in to humans and apes and monkeys... we didn't evolve from monkeys and apes they are our cousins... we share ancestry and in terms of DNA we are only slightly different from apes... 2-3 percent different, but then we are probably 30 percent the same as worms and spiders... because a billion years ago we had a common ancestor with them too.

Pure=inbreeding.

Yeah, but what is the point of manipulating the genes of an animal to make it better if you then leave it to breeding and natural selection and dumb luck to determine what genes survive to be passed on to the general population?

Unless they upgraded the entire herd chances are only a small percentage of the population could develop the enhanced genes... turning off the aging gene... a bit like a vampire able to live for tens of thousands of years could ensure the right breeding takes place and bad genes are selected out of the species and the good features are kept.

Egyptian & European royal families were marrying within themselves & got deformed Akhnaten & hemophiliacs. The same with American Mormons- all men now have unusually large heads.

Which is why manipulating the herd with advanced genes is unreliable because diversity keeps them alive and healthy but diversity introduces weakened genes that could be passed on instead of the strong genes.

This is not intelligent design... people see survival of the fittest and thing only the strong survive, but they forget politics and greed and avarice... the strong can be stabbed in the back by a jealous rival... the strong can lead his men into a trap and be slaughtered before passing on his genes... if only the strongest survived then the Dinosaurs would still rule the earth because there is no way a human could defeat a big dinosaur...

Fortunately for us a combination of things took care of them for us... including climate change... it was a lot hotter back then... perhaps climate change will promote the development and growth of large lizards... maybe the Japs are right and Godzilla is the inevidible outcome of radiation and pollution we have punished this planet with the last few decades...

The Apes arrived when we arrived... they are our cousins... we have a common ancestor, which you are suggesting were modified to create us as opposed to apes and monkeys which were the other evolved branches of that line.

Have to ask though... what amazing thing separates us from apes and monkeys that for you requires gene splicing to believe it happened... as opposed to blind luck.

The earth is ideal... abundant water and food and air and at the time no intelligent species that threatens their existence with technology or weapons...

they came here to mine gold, etc., not to resettle. Then some of them took human females & produced "demigods"- read the relevant Sumerian texts elements of which r incorporated into the Book of Genesis.

if they come from a different planet their DNA will be different at a fundamental level because we wont share any ancestor history at all...

 
if Earth was seeded with organic molecules & bacterial life by comets & Nibiru's moon colliding with it, then all life on both have common ancestors or at least related.

2 million years ago apes and monkeys and humans didn't even exist.

monkeys and humans share a common ancestor from which both evolved around 25 million years ago. ... Similarly, the fossil record has identified ancestors common to both humans and monkeys, such as an as yet unnamed primate fossil from Myanmar found in 2009 and dated as living around 37 million years ago. ..Based on the similarities and differences between the two types of DNA, scientists have estimated that humans and rhesus monkeys diverged from their common ancestor 25 million years ago.
..Chimps and humans share between 98 to 99% of DNA suggesting that we shared a common ancestor around 6 million years ago.
https://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2011/10/04/3331957.htm

So the 1st monkeys appeared 25M, & Chimps which r apes 6M  y.a.

The Apes arrived when we arrived...

Viewed zoologically, we humans are Homo sapiens, a culture-bearing upright-walking species that lives on the ground and very likely first evolved in Africa about 315,000 years ago.
https://www.britannica.com/science/human-evolution

From the above, 6M-315K=5,685M years separates apes from 1st humans. In other words, we arrived long after the 1st apes appeared.

we share ancestry and in terms of DNA we are only slightly different from apes... 2-3 percent different,..

that's why it wasn't that hard for aliens to give a certain specie of apes those 2-3% to make them more similar to them.
http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20170517-we-have-still-not-found-the-missing-link-between-us-and-apes

It wasn't found so far because it doesn't exist!

Yeah, but what is the point of manipulating the genes of an animal to make it better if you then leave it to breeding and natural selection and dumb luck to determine what genes survive to be passed on to the general population?

those hybrids &/ their descendants r kept or re-abducted to continue the process of refinement. Nothing is left to chance.

Have to ask though... what amazing thing separates us from apes and monkeys that for you requires gene splicing to believe it happened...

more brain power, less physical strength, & submissiveness to superiors. Non-primate animals r well adapted & don't need religions, gurus, Popes, Patriarchs, & royalty to rule over them. Factions of aliens needed human laborers, soldiers & female companions to make their stay here easier; over time, we multiplied & had to be given civilization so we could organize better & survive on our own.

they came here to mine gold, etc., not to resettle. Then some of them took human females & produced "demigods"- read the relevant Sumerian texts elements of which r incorporated into the Book of Genesis

Came here looking for gold?

There would be none left if they were looking for gold here... it would be pretty straight forward for them to find... didn't take us that long to find the most obvious deposits... most of which were found because there were nuggets in rivers that were discovered...

What has Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel have to do with this?

if Earth was seeded with organic molecules & bacterial life by comets & Nibiru's moon colliding with it, then all life on both have common ancestors or at least related.

Ahhh piss off... if bacteria could develop and grow on fucking comets then why are comets needed... the earth is a much bigger and much more stable object than any comet... and more to the point it is located in a suitable place near a star with protection from radiation... two things comets generally don't have... most of a comet is a frozen block of muddy ice whose surface is boiled off when it gets close enough to a star... hardly the ideal place for life to develop.

Yeah, fucken amazing... so which ABC article tells you which aliens perverted evolution and created man?

Viewed zoologically, we humans are Homo sapiens, a culture-bearing upright-walking species that lives on the ground and very likely first evolved in Africa about

They don't know... their guess is better than yours however...

From the above, 6M-315K=5,685M years separates apes from 1st humans. In other words, we arrived long after the 1st apes appeared.

Where.

that's why it wasn't that hard for aliens to give a certain specie of apes those 2-3% to make them more similar to them.
http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20170517-we-have-still-not-found-the-missing-link-between-us-and-apes

It wasn't found so far because it doesn't exist!

For fucks sake... Over the time periods you have described it doesn't require any far out bullshit story about aliens genetically changing apes in to humans... I mean what is the fucking point? What is to stop the apes from ganging up on the genetically modified beings they left behind and eating them?

If we were travelling the universe we are hardly going to stop at every habitable planet and gene splice the animal closest to a biped to be more like us so that in a million years or two if we ever get back this way we might have a rival to this plentiful bountiful planet that we have to wipe out before we can take its valuable resources...

those hybrids &/ their descendants r kept or re-abducted to continue the process of refinement. Nothing is left to chance.

Most people who claim to be abducted are morons and if they were genetically modified these days it would be pretty simple to determined that... besides even if they modify a million people what difference would that make to the 7 odd billion people here?

more brain power, less physical strength, & submissiveness to superiors. Non-primate animals r well adapted & don't need religions, gurus, Popes, Patriarchs, & royalty to rule over them. Factions of aliens needed human laborers, soldiers & female companions to make their stay here easier; over time, we multiplied & had to be given civilization so we could organize better & survive on our own.

There are 7 odd billion of us... WTF use are 7 billion human slaves that are not doing anything except raping and polluting this planet. You can say we don't need religion or gurus or popes etc etc but we have those in abundance and often fight each other over them too. Soldiers for what?

So they gave us civilisations too? Well they can fucken take western civilisation back... it is defective...

We are surviving on our own.

There would be none left if they were looking for gold here...

they mined it in S. Africa & got huge amount of it.

What has Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel have to do with this?

who r those?

if bacteria could develop and grow on fucking comets then why are comets needed...

if not on comets, meteors & asteroids created by planetary collisions could harbor them in frozen state; but just organic molecules would be enough.

Yeah, fucken amazing... so which ABC article tells you which aliens perverted evolution and created man?

for that, read  The 12th Planet by Z. Sitchin.

their guess is better than yours however...

I don't guess, after extensively reading on the subject from multiple sources. Anyway, I was right then to quote them.

From the above, 6M-315K=5,685M years separates apes from 1st humans. In other words, we arrived long after the 1st apes appeared.

Where.

the 1st apes appeared in Africa & possibly Asia. The 1st humans in Africa where they were needed to work in the gold mines. For what happened next, read  The 12th Planet & the rest of the series.

What is to stop the apes from ganging up on the genetically modified beings they left behind and eating them?

By then, humans multiplied, many lived in what is now Iraq, had weapons & later outcompeted Neandertals in the ME, Europe & Asia.

If we were travelling the universe we are hardly going to stop at every habitable planet and gene splice the animal closest to a biped to be more like us so that in a million years or two if we ever get back this way we might have a rival to this plentiful bountiful planet that we have to wipe out before we can take its valuable resources...

hat's not applicable to our own origins- the aliens responsible for it had a different agenda & needs.

those hybrids &/ their descendants r kept or re-abducted to continue the process of refinement. Nothing is left to chance.

Most people who claim to be abducted are morons and if they were genetically modified these days it would be pretty simple to determined that...

no, they r 100% human, but their offspring r hybrids which r taken from them.

There are 7 odd billion of us... WTF use are 7 billion human slaves that are not doing anything except raping and polluting this planet.

we served their original purpose for some time, survived the flood, wars, epidemics, famines, etc., & now we may be useful to them in some other capacity.

You can say we don't need religion or gurus or popes etc etc but we have those in abundance and often fight each other over them too.

most people still think they need them.

Soldiers for what?

read The Wars of Gods & Men by Z. Sitchin.

So they gave us civilisations too? Well they can fucken take western civilisation back... it is defective...

The same way some Asians fought Chinese, but still adopted many things from their civilization. The Russians fought off the Tartars but adopted many things from them as well. The natives in the Americas adopted horses & guns from their colonizers.
The Western civilization isn't the original 1, it's a product of all those which preceded it starting with the 1st 1 in the ME, then Egypt, Greece, Italy, & Central Europe. With writing, calendars, agriculture, laws, organized religion/warfare, cities, arts, & medicine any given civilization can further develop in different ways, adopting & rejecting things along the way.

they mined it in S. Africa & got huge amount of it.

Africa didn't exist 2 million years ago... and it was found in so many places... why do you think they left?

who r those?

Two members of Genesis...

if not on comets, meteors & asteroids created by planetary collisions could harbor them in frozen state; but just organic molecules would be enough.

That is just a crock... none of the planets had organic molecules delivered by Comets... comets, meteoroids, and asteroids is space fragments with no atmosphere, no radiation protection, and no regular access to sunlight, liquid water, and gravity all of which is probably necessary for life to start.

Which planets would have had life previously in this solar system that could have survived a collision of such force to blow fragments of rock into space...

for that, read The 12th Planet by Z. Sitchin.

Yeah, just because it is in a book does not make it true...

the 1st apes appeared in Africa & possibly Asia. The 1st humans in Africa where they were needed to work in the gold mines. For what happened next, read The 12th Planet & the rest of the series.

Ahhh piss off... what value would there be in having apes in a gold mine... even a particularly smart ape would be next to fucken useless... the time it would take to create genetic workers that were reliable and wouldn't just die or kill everyone would be decades and even then there would be no guarantee...

By then, humans multiplied, many lived in what is now Iraq, had weapons & later outcompeted Neandertals in the ME, Europe & Asia.

Based on crack pot nutters theories... the honest truth is we have no idea what really happened then but claiming aliens interfered... why would we need to inject aliens into this? We don't need god... why do we need aliens? Humans are not god like or super human... most are just average. There is no need for aliens or gods or dragons or dwarfs or elfs or other bullshit.

hat's not applicable to our own origins- the aliens responsible for it had a different agenda & needs.

It would take decades to gene splice and breed what they wanted... much quicker to build robots and machines to make the work faster and easier...

no, they r 100% human, but their offspring r hybrids which r taken from them.

Why? They could get all the gold they need at Fort Knox.

we served their original purpose for some time, survived the flood, wars, epidemics, famines, etc., & now we may be useful to them in some other capacity.

Ahhh piss off, this is worse than a religion.... this is indentured servitude... The aliens can kiss my hairy white skinny ass...

most people still think they need them.

Those that think they need a reason or a purpose and don't really care where that reason or purpose comes from... I call them idiots... but never to their faces... if they want the bliss of ignorance... who am I to take that away.

Who is this prick?

But no, you think we are dumb fucking that need aliens to enslave us to make us different from the apes....

Africa didn't exist 2 million years ago... and it was found in so many places... why do you think they left?

It existed far longer than that, after the supercontinent Gondwana split;
go back & read links I posted about nuclear war in ancient times.

none of the planets had organic molecules delivered by Comets... comets, meteoroids, and asteroids is space fragments with no atmosphere, no radiation protection, and no regular access to sunlight, liquid water, and gravity all of which is probably necessary for life to start.

it could start on other planets & be preserved in rocks & ice, just like in some places on Earth.

Which planets would have had life previously in this solar system that could have survived a collision of such force to blow fragments of rock into space...

Nibiru which may not exist anymore. The Earth collided with Mars sized object wich could be 1 of its moons.

for that, read The 12th Planet by Z. Sitchin.

Yeah, just because it is in a book does not make it true...

his theory, although may not be 100% correct in every detail, makes more sense- if u r set in ur thinking & don't want to learn anything new, don't read it!

Ahhh piss off... what value would there be in having apes in a gold mine... even a particularly smart ape would be next to fucken useless...It would take decades to gene splice and breed what they wanted... much quicker to build robots and machines to make the work faster and easier..

it took them a while to perfect a human, but when he was ready, the alien's burden eased greatly.

We don't need god... why do we need aliens? Humans are not god like or super human... most are just average. There is no need for aliens or gods or dragons or dwarfs or elfs or other bullshit.

we may not need it but the 1st humans were impressed enough to crate religions, myths, & legends to explain their existence & help them cope with vicissitudes of life.

Why? They could get all the gold they need at Fort Knox.

they or other aliens don't need it anymore. According to Sitchin, Nibiru had thin atmosphere & was being irradiated, & gold particles were needed for protection.

Ahhh piss off, this is worse than a religion.... this is indentured servitude...  The aliens can kiss my hairy white skinny ass...

if they wanted to, u would be serving them w/o even knowing it.

But no, you think we are dumb fucking    that need aliens to enslave us to make us different from the apes....

1st they made us, then used as servants. Now we r on our own, but being watched. If left to chance, it would have taken a lot longer, if at all- Homo Sapiens may not have evolved & today there would be just Neanderthals & Yetis/Bigfoot hominids roaming the Earth along with 4 legged animals.
I'm not going to discuss human origins anymore- take it or leave it.
