Highly advanced humans
2
00:00:04,594 --> 00:00:06,794
living thousands of years ago...
3
00:00:08,495 --> 00:00:12,699
unidentified DNA in
the human genome...
4
00:00:13,701 --> 00:00:16,168
and ancient chronicles
5
00:00:16,570 --> 00:00:19,873
describing heavenly
interventions on Earth.
6
00:00:21,375 --> 00:00:24,743
Did humans really
evolve from apes?
7
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?

South Africa

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.
