Highly advanced humans
2
00:00:05,604 --> 00:00:07,804
living thousands of years ago...
3
00:00:09,522 --> 00:00:13,726
unidentified DNA in
the human genome...
4
00:00:14,751 --> 00:00:17,218
and ancient chronicles
5
00:00:17,633 --> 00:00:20,936
describing heavenly
interventions on Earth.
6
00:00:22,459 --> 00:00:25,827
Did humans really
evolve from apes?
7
00:00:26,046 --> 00:00:30,613
Or is our intelligence the result
of an otherworldly design?
8
00:00:32,546 --> 00:00:34,912
What are humans made of?
9
00:00:35,193 --> 00:00:38,394
Why do we evolve the way
we do, grow the way we do,
10
00:00:38,410 --> 00:00:39,877
think the way we do?
11
00:00:39,987 --> 00:00:42,619
There's no
explanation for human beings.
12
00:00:42,969 --> 00:00:44,935
They shouldn't be
here on this planet.
13
00:00:46,286 --> 00:00:48,286
Science
and the world of history,
14
00:00:48,298 --> 00:00:51,264
even in archeology, is still
scrambling around for answers.
15
00:00:51,985 --> 00:00:54,720
We should
finally come to grips with the
16
00:00:54,734 --> 00:00:57,835
idea that extraterrestrials had
17
00:00:57,851 --> 00:01:01,050
something to do
with our development.
18
00:01:03,012 --> 00:01:06,113
Millions of people
around the world believe we have
19
00:01:06,129 --> 00:01:10,131
been visited in the past by
extraterrestrial beings.
20
00:01:10,150 --> 00:01:13,718
What if it were true?
21
00:01:13,737 --> 00:01:18,073
Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history?
22
00:01:18,093 --> 00:01:23,396
And if so, might evidence of
alien contact help to unlock the
23
00:01:23,422 --> 00:01:26,855
mystery behind
the creation of man?

25 miles northwest of Johannesburg
lie the Malapa Caves.
27
00:02:08,164 --> 00:02:13,001
Here, in August of 2008,
paleoanthropologist Lee Berger
28
00:02:13,024 --> 00:02:16,726
and his nine-year-old son
Mathew discover several
29
00:02:16,744 --> 00:02:20,746
fossilized skeletal remains
of two-million-year-old early
30
00:02:20,767 --> 00:02:26,404
humans, including a female adult
and male child, perhaps a
31
00:02:26,431 --> 00:02:28,033
mother and son.
32
00:02:30,453 --> 00:02:35,089
The size and shape of the bones
indicate that the individuals
33
00:02:35,111 --> 00:02:38,479
walked upright and
had modern hands.
34
00:02:40,606 --> 00:02:44,009
Over the past several decades,
scientists have unearthed the
35
00:02:44,027 --> 00:02:47,862
remains of nearly two dozen
different types of early human
36
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,481
ancestors, all known as hominids.
37
00:02:57,727 --> 00:03:00,626
We have an
extremely good fossil record
38
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:02,040
of ancient hominids.
39
00:03:03,053 --> 00:03:05,853
and I think the picture
emerging from it is
40
00:03:05,865 --> 00:03:10,365
pretty clear that in earlier days,
before Homo Sapiens came along
41
00:03:10,387 --> 00:03:12,387
there were typically
many different kinds
42
00:03:12,396 --> 00:03:14,991
of hominids coexisting
in the world.
43
00:03:15,607 --> 00:03:17,407
We have a hard time giving
44
00:03:17,415 --> 00:03:19,015
our minds around this
now because of course
45
00:03:19,024 --> 00:03:20,723
there is just one kind
of human on earth today
46
00:03:20,731 --> 00:03:22,131
and there are 7 billion of it
47
00:03:22,641 --> 00:03:25,239
but at one time within the last
few hundred thousand years,
48
00:03:25,250 --> 00:03:30,150
you could find two or even
three species of hominids
49
00:03:30,175 --> 00:03:33,377
living the same area
at the same time.
50
00:03:33,393 --> 00:03:39,264
Most mainstream
scholars tell us hominids
51
00:03:39,293 --> 00:03:42,794
evolved from an ape ancestor
nearly six million years ago
52
00:03:42,811 --> 00:03:46,615
through what is referred
to as natural selection.
53
00:03:48,342 --> 00:03:52,744
This theory of evolution was
first popularized by English
54
00:03:52,766 --> 00:03:54,566
anthropologist Charles Darwin in
55
00:03:54,574 --> 00:03:59,008
his 1859 book
On the Origin of Species.
56
00:03:59,434 --> 00:04:02,570
Darwin's mechanism
of evolution was natural selection.
57
00:04:02,585 --> 00:04:05,786
That is to say a long-term
process whereby
58
00:04:05,803 --> 00:04:10,372
better-adapted individuals
reproduce more successfully.
59
00:04:11,499 --> 00:04:14,098
Darwin's theory of evolution
60
00:04:14,292 --> 00:04:20,993
by natural selection explained
that organism with certain traits
61
00:04:21,124 --> 00:04:23,524
such as mutation
62
00:04:23,838 --> 00:04:27,738
turned out to be
actually beneficial
63
00:04:28,057 --> 00:04:32,557
turned out to be of advantage in
the struggle for reproduction
64
00:04:32,578 --> 00:04:38,051
So mutation allow
organism to survive and
65
00:04:38,078 --> 00:04:43,712
to pass on to the next
generation this mutation.
66
00:04:48,531 --> 00:04:51,802
Darwin speculated that over
time, hominids walking
67
00:04:51,818 --> 00:04:55,319
on two feet used their
hands to make tools.
68
00:04:56,678 --> 00:04:59,110
This, in turn,
made them smarter.
69
00:04:59,259 --> 00:05:04,462
Then, approximately 200,000 years
ago, hominids evolved into
70
00:05:04,488 --> 00:05:07,923
Homo sapiens...
or modern man.
71
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,106
But many scholars dispute
Darwin's findings.
72
00:05:11,459 --> 00:05:15,559
We don't see
dolphins building cars,
73
00:05:15,713 --> 00:05:17,713
We don't see elephants
building houses.
74
00:05:17,723 --> 00:05:20,960
That might sound trite, but it's
a fact that these animals just
75
00:05:20,976 --> 00:05:23,443
simply haven't progressed and
advanced in the way we have.
76
00:05:23,457 --> 00:05:25,624
And the big question is,
why is that?
77
00:05:25,635 --> 00:05:27,201
Why should that happen?
78
00:05:27,210 --> 00:05:28,878
Why should we be so unique?
79
00:05:28,886 --> 00:05:32,020
Tool use doesn't
really come into play for
80
00:05:32,036 --> 00:05:34,737
several million years after the
first earliest humans began to
81
00:05:34,751 --> 00:05:35,583
walk upright.
82
00:05:35,590 --> 00:05:38,158
And then brain size
doesn't really begin to
83
00:05:38,171 --> 00:05:41,672
expand and really mushroom in
size until the last several
84
00:05:41,790 --> 00:05:42,956
hundred thousand years.
85
00:05:42,962 --> 00:05:45,429
So, actually six million years
of human evolution, there are
86
00:05:45,443 --> 00:05:48,644
millions of years separating
each of those major features:
87
00:05:48,660 --> 00:05:51,661
upright posture, tool
use, brain expansion.
88
00:05:51,676 --> 00:05:54,477
So Darwin was wrong because he
couldn't possibly have known the
89
00:05:54,492 --> 00:05:56,193
chronology in his day.
90
00:05:57,709 --> 00:06:03,246
In 1967, British
zoologist Desmond Morris argued
91
00:06:03,272 --> 00:06:06,607
against Darwin's theories
on evolution in his book
92
00:06:06,624 --> 00:06:08,257
The Naked Ape.
93
00:06:09,472 --> 00:06:12,741
In it, Morris wrote that there
was no reason why man stood
94
00:06:12,758 --> 00:06:16,760
alone from other species
in terms of his nudity.
95
00:06:16,779 --> 00:06:19,313
Well, of course,
as Homo sapiens we still
96
00:06:19,327 --> 00:06:22,795
continue to have a coating of
hair, but that hair is very
97
00:06:22,812 --> 00:06:25,813
much reduced over most of our
bodies, and that reduction
98
00:06:25,829 --> 00:06:30,532
probably goes back way
beyond Homo sapiens in time.
99
00:06:30,554 --> 00:06:33,855
It probably goes back to the
time when the very first early
100
00:06:33,872 --> 00:06:39,509
bipedal hominids came out of
the forests in Africa into the
101
00:06:39,536 --> 00:06:41,369
savannahs where they had more
102
00:06:41,379 --> 00:06:46,080
sun and more thermal
radiation to cope with.
103
00:06:52,768 --> 00:06:55,774
In places like Europe,
Northern Europe, why we
104
00:06:55,790 --> 00:06:57,456
lost body hair is the
chicken and egg question.
105
00:06:57,535 --> 00:07:00,169
Did we lose our body hair
because we began to wear
106
00:07:00,182 --> 00:07:03,016
clothing to keep us warm or was
there some other factor at work
107
00:07:03,030 --> 00:07:05,029
that caused us to
lose our body hair?
108
00:07:05,210 --> 00:07:08,011
Perhaps women didn't find body
hair on men attractive, and so
109
00:07:08,024 --> 00:07:10,324
it was lost because they didn't
choose those men as mates.
110
00:07:10,336 --> 00:07:13,402
There's no way to ever
answer that question.
111
00:07:13,789 --> 00:07:15,854
If we were to subscribe
112
00:07:16,110 --> 00:07:20,910
100% to the idea of the
survival of the fittest
113
00:07:21,032 --> 00:07:25,832
isn't it illogical to think
that all of a sudden
114
00:07:25,951 --> 00:07:30,152
we're completely naked and
we're losing all of our fur?
115
00:07:30,274 --> 00:07:34,646
I mean, that makes absolutely
no sense because right after we
116
00:07:34,668 --> 00:07:39,404
shed our fur, we had to
wear furs to keep warm.
117
00:07:39,830 --> 00:07:43,065
Had we not worn any furs, we
would have frozen to death,
118
00:07:43,081 --> 00:07:45,114
we would have died.
119
00:07:45,325 --> 00:07:48,927
So the whole idea that we shed
all of our hair in order to
120
00:07:48,945 --> 00:07:54,447
survive because we were stronger,
logically makes no sense.
121
00:07:58,631 --> 00:08:01,166
But if Darwin's
theory of natural selection
122
00:08:01,179 --> 00:08:03,680
cannot account for the
appearance of intelligent
123
00:08:03,693 --> 00:08:06,763
hairless Homo sapiens,
what can?
124
00:08:09,089 --> 00:08:13,024
Might the transition of hominids
to modern human beings have been
125
00:08:13,043 --> 00:08:16,945
the result of an otherworldly
design, as ancient astronaut
126
00:08:16,965 --> 00:08:18,766
theorists believe?
127
00:08:19,780 --> 00:08:24,149
Alfred Russel Wallace, a
colleague of Darwin, called it
128
00:08:24,170 --> 00:08:26,837
the intelligence evolution.
129
00:08:26,850 --> 00:08:29,651
Darwin believed
that the human brain had
130
00:08:29,667 --> 00:08:33,135
been driven into existence by
natural selection, but Wallace
131
00:08:33,152 --> 00:08:35,786
couldn't quite see how
this could be so.
132
00:08:36,704 --> 00:08:42,175
What Wallace perceived was that
the way that humans think,
133
00:08:43,106 --> 00:08:46,909
their intellectual faculties are
qualitatively different from
134
00:08:46,927 --> 00:08:51,563
anything that had preceded them,
and he couldn't quite see how
135
00:08:51,586 --> 00:08:56,789
this enormous gap could be
bridged by natural selection.
136
00:08:56,814 --> 00:09:01,617
So he invoked another
explanation for the evolution,
137
00:09:01,641 --> 00:09:06,644
the arrival of modern human
cognitive abilities.
138
00:09:06,667 --> 00:09:12,935
His choice was a
spiritual explanation.
139
00:09:15,582 --> 00:09:17,815
Alfred believed there was an unseen
140
00:09:17,827 --> 00:09:23,598
creative spirit that was
behind all life on our planet.
141
00:09:23,625 --> 00:09:26,858
And he believed that
this unseen creative spirit
142
00:09:27,377 --> 00:09:30,146
had interceded three
times in this planet.
143
00:09:32,974 --> 00:09:38,480
First was to create life
from inorganic matter.
144
00:09:38,506 --> 00:09:40,973
And then the second time was
145
00:09:40,986 --> 00:09:44,753
when animals achieved
some kind of consciousness.
146
00:09:45,643 --> 00:09:50,180
And the third time was when
humans suddenly were able to
147
00:09:50,203 --> 00:09:54,003
have the mental abilities
that we have today.
148
00:09:55,431 --> 00:09:57,765
But he felt that it wasn't just
149
00:09:57,777 --> 00:10:02,411
random selection like
Charles Darwin thought.
150
00:10:02,470 --> 00:10:06,973
He believed that all of these
changes had a creative
151
00:10:06,994 --> 00:10:09,295
intelligence behind it.
152
00:10:10,313 --> 00:10:14,148
The view that I have
is that because the rest of
153
00:10:14,166 --> 00:10:18,035
nature hasn't changed that much,
that arguably, we shouldn't.
154
00:10:18,055 --> 00:10:21,056
So that suggests to me we're
seeing something potentially
155
00:10:21,071 --> 00:10:24,372
that has gone against nature, and
if it's gone against nature,
156
00:10:24,388 --> 00:10:28,855
maybe that means because somebody
has been manipulating nature.
157
00:10:30,587 --> 00:10:33,386
There's no explanation
for human beings.
158
00:10:33,527 --> 00:10:35,827
They shouldn't be
here on this planet.
159
00:10:36,039 --> 00:10:42,376
If we were evolved and changed
by an extraterrestrial source
160
00:10:42,501 --> 00:10:45,701
from our early primate ancestors
161
00:10:46,519 --> 00:10:48,518
That's the only way, really,
you could've come
162
00:10:48,528 --> 00:10:49,728
from the human species.
163
00:10:50,237 --> 00:10:53,037
Unless you, of course,
put god into the equation.
164
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:56,653
Then, who knows who
the gods may have been.
165
00:10:57,671 --> 00:11:02,471
Charles Darwin may be
crawling over in his grave right now
166
00:11:02,695 --> 00:11:06,295
but it's very possible
that mankind came about
167
00:11:06,452 --> 00:11:09,252
because of extraterrestrial
intervention.
168
00:11:13,282 --> 00:11:15,882
Did the evolution
of modern humans
169
00:11:15,995 --> 00:11:19,895
really received a jump start
by extraterrestrial beings,
170
00:11:19,914 --> 00:11:23,314
as ancient astronaut
theorists believe
171
00:11:23,330 --> 00:11:26,330
and if so, might there
be tangible evidence.
172
00:11:27,546 --> 00:11:30,646
Some scientists believe
proof can be found,
173
00:11:30,861 --> 00:11:33,761
inside the human brain.
174
00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:41,944
Chicago, Illinois.
175
00:11:43,462 --> 00:11:45,920
December 2004.
176
00:11:46,435 --> 00:11:50,269
Researchers at the Howard
Hughes Medical lnstitute of the
177
00:11:50,288 --> 00:11:54,657
University of Chicago publish
the results of a study that
178
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:59,014
claims the sophistication of the
human brain was the result of a
179
00:11:59,035 --> 00:12:01,372
so-called special event.
180
00:12:03,997 --> 00:12:07,865
They said mankind's intelligence
was not only the result of
181
00:12:07,883 --> 00:12:12,553
evolution, and that around
50,000 years ago, the genes of
182
00:12:12,576 --> 00:12:16,778
ancient humans went through an
intense amount of change in a
183
00:12:16,798 --> 00:12:18,831
relatively short amount of time--
184
00:12:19,848 --> 00:12:23,520
what some refer to as the
big bang of the brain.
185
00:12:26,651 --> 00:12:30,951
No one really knows
how human beings developed so fast
186
00:12:31,034 --> 00:12:32,834
in such a short period of time
187
00:12:33,145 --> 00:12:35,545
They don't believe it
was done naturally.
188
00:12:35,957 --> 00:12:40,957
It's very clear the fully
modern intellectual function
189
00:12:40,981 --> 00:12:43,981
is a very recent acquisition
in our lineage.
190
00:12:43,994 --> 00:12:46,894
It's not an improvement
of what was there before
191
00:12:46,908 --> 00:12:51,308
it's a new kind of manipulation
of information and the mind.
192
00:12:53,137 --> 00:12:56,337
There is no
other animal creature on the planet
193
00:12:56,452 --> 00:12:59,652
that has such a comparative
point and that is why they call it
194
00:12:59,668 --> 00:13:02,168
the big brain event.
195
00:13:03,184 --> 00:13:05,584
People talk
about the missing link.
196
00:13:06,399 --> 00:13:09,299
Where is between the link
between going from apes
197
00:13:09,313 --> 00:13:11,113
monkeys, gorillas, ectetera,
198
00:13:11,123 --> 00:13:15,124
to being out to develop atomic
weaponry and fly in space.
199
00:13:16,436 --> 00:13:19,536
When we're looking
at the origins of man,
200
00:13:19,852 --> 00:13:24,752
we've realised that 50,000 years
ago, we really went where
201
00:13:24,774 --> 00:13:27,074
no creature has even gone before.
202
00:13:27,287 --> 00:13:29,787
We have become human.
203
00:13:31,805 --> 00:13:35,538
But what was the spark
that spored human intelligence
204
00:13:36,643 --> 00:13:38,243
Was it a genetic mutation
brought about
205
00:13:38,251 --> 00:13:41,951
by the natural selection
process of evolution
206
00:13:41,969 --> 00:13:44,367
as many mainstream
scientists contend
207
00:13:45,183 --> 00:13:48,283
or could've it been a
genetic modification
208
00:13:48,296 --> 00:13:51,396
produced by
extraterrestrial beings
209
00:13:51,411 --> 00:13:54,311
as ancient astronaut
theorists believe?
210
00:13:58,243 --> 00:14:01,843
There's also the idea
that there was a gene or genes
211
00:14:01,860 --> 00:14:04,260
that popped up some
time in our ancestors
212
00:14:04,272 --> 00:14:07,272
randomly, that might
have given the ability
213
00:14:07,285 --> 00:14:09,685
to symbolically represent
objects in our environment
214
00:14:09,697 --> 00:14:13,097
or the abstract, those are
things that for instance
215
00:14:13,113 --> 00:14:14,713
chimpanzees have a great
deal of trouble with
216
00:14:14,721 --> 00:14:16,221
even with the talk language
217
00:14:19,243 --> 00:14:25,043
Homo Sapiens emerging from Africa
started to behave symbolically
218
00:14:25,371 --> 00:14:28,371
They started to manipulate
information in their mind
219
00:14:28,586 --> 00:14:31,486
in a way their predecessors
had never done before
220
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:35,900
They disassembled the world
around them into a vocabulary
221
00:14:36,623 --> 00:14:39,523
of discrete symbols
and recombined them
222
00:14:39,537 --> 00:14:41,737
so they could imagine
new kinds of worlds
223
00:14:44,661 --> 00:14:46,261
Long long time ago,
224
00:14:46,671 --> 00:14:49,871
extraterrestrials arrived
on this planet.
225
00:14:50,490 --> 00:14:52,790
They realised that the
planet was full of life
226
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,600
and one of them was the
most advanced form
227
00:14:55,714 --> 00:14:57,414
was one of our ancestors.
228
00:14:59,733 --> 00:15:02,533
They took the DNA out
229
00:15:02,647 --> 00:15:06,347
and they changed the
basic information in the DNA.
230
00:15:06,465 --> 00:15:09,065
This is what our genetics
are doing every day.
231
00:15:09,379 --> 00:15:15,179
Now, the cell was changed,
the product you plant into womb
232
00:15:15,205 --> 00:15:17,905
of a female of the same species
233
00:15:18,019 --> 00:15:22,719
This female will give birth to a child
approximately after 9 months
234
00:15:22,841 --> 00:15:28,441
but because of this artificial
mutation, and that is the difference,
235
00:15:28,467 --> 00:15:31,667
because it was made artificially
by the extraterrestrials.
236
00:15:34,897 --> 00:15:38,497
What if as part
of the genetics updates
237
00:15:38,514 --> 00:15:40,814
human beings were getting
from extraterrestrials
238
00:15:41,427 --> 00:15:46,927
one of those genetic updates
involved a software download
239
00:15:46,953 --> 00:15:50,553
biological download
to differentiate
240
00:15:50,570 --> 00:15:52,370
the different hemispheres
of the brain
241
00:15:52,479 --> 00:15:58,179
to allow human society, tool
making, fire, social organization
242
00:15:58,206 --> 00:16:02,606
to be creative, and from that,
that particular species
243
00:16:02,626 --> 00:16:05,726
of hominid became the
human being we are today.
244
00:16:09,859 --> 00:16:12,658
If alien species out there could
245
00:16:12,671 --> 00:16:15,271
fly across, interstellar space
246
00:16:15,283 --> 00:16:18,783
then in all probability they
would have similar DNA
247
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,100
in common and technology.
248
00:16:20,207 --> 00:16:24,407
Of course it would depend on
their own genetic composition
249
00:16:24,427 --> 00:16:26,027
being similar to ours
250
00:16:26,437 --> 00:16:29,537
but if they understood
sufficient chemistry
251
00:16:29,551 --> 00:16:33,251
and physical principles
from their own experience
252
00:16:33,268 --> 00:16:34,768
of their physical world model
253
00:16:34,777 --> 00:16:42,837
then in all probability, manipulating
our DNA would be simple.
254
00:16:47,094 --> 00:16:50,633
But if alien beings created
humans by genetically
255
00:16:50,650 --> 00:16:52,449
altering our primitive ancestors,
256
00:16:54,304 --> 00:16:56,937
might various versions
of hominids have been
257
00:16:56,950 --> 00:17:01,418
the result of experiments at
creating intelligent life on Earth,
258
00:17:01,441 --> 00:17:04,375
as ancient astronaut
theorists contend?
259
00:17:05,632 --> 00:17:10,001
This is one of the greatest
unanswered questions.
260
00:17:10,021 --> 00:17:11,487
The ancient records do not say
261
00:17:11,496 --> 00:17:14,396
that we are part of a
social experiment.
262
00:17:14,613 --> 00:17:18,415
The ancient records say that we
were bestowed upon this gift.
263
00:17:18,434 --> 00:17:21,300
The gods gave us
the gift of intellect.
264
00:17:21,451 --> 00:17:23,251
And it is for us to use it.
265
00:17:23,260 --> 00:17:26,694
So yes, we might actually be
part of an experiment, but it
266
00:17:26,712 --> 00:17:28,845
might be an experiment
in intelligence.
267
00:17:29,293 --> 00:17:30,559
It might actually be a game,
268
00:17:30,566 --> 00:17:34,834
a kind of the greatest reality TV
show, whereby the entire human
269
00:17:34,855 --> 00:17:38,524
species is watched by ancient
aliens who have been watching
270
00:17:38,542 --> 00:17:41,346
the show for maybe 50,000 years.
271
00:17:44,475 --> 00:17:50,100
FOXP2 is a gene that was
found in our nucleotides
272
00:17:50,126 --> 00:17:54,126
and it is something that
sets us completely apart
273
00:17:54,145 --> 00:17:56,845
from any other animal
274
00:17:56,858 --> 00:18:02,358
And scientists have suggested
that that gene alone
275
00:18:02,383 --> 00:18:06,083
is responsible for language
276
00:18:06,704 --> 00:18:10,004
And there is absolutely
no evidence of origin
277
00:18:10,215 --> 00:18:12,315
where as this thing
somehow mutated
278
00:18:12,325 --> 00:18:14,325
from the animal kingdom
towards us.
279
00:18:14,536 --> 00:18:20,836
So this gene exists out of
nowhere without any origin.
280
00:18:20,968 --> 00:18:26,577
So my question is, is it
possible that this gene was
281
00:18:26,603 --> 00:18:31,305
given to us, or grafted into us,
282
00:18:31,328 --> 00:18:33,561
by extraterrestrials
in the remote past?
283
00:18:34,612 --> 00:18:37,180
And the answer is yes.
284
00:18:41,524 --> 00:18:45,724
Was it the same non
human ancient aliens
285
00:18:45,744 --> 00:18:49,744
so many ancient settlements
on this planet
286
00:18:49,762 --> 00:18:52,762
deciding that they
wanted humans to be able
287
00:18:52,776 --> 00:18:55,276
to communicate at a more
sophisticated level
288
00:18:55,390 --> 00:19:00,729
I think that's the fundamental
angst today among people trying
289
00:19:00,754 --> 00:19:06,757
to understand who are we in
relationship to extraterrestrials
290
00:19:06,787 --> 00:19:09,324
that may have been
manipulating DNA
291
00:19:09,335 --> 00:19:11,504
on this planet for
thousands of years.
292
00:19:14,630 --> 00:19:18,966
Might the evidence of
our alien origins really have
293
00:19:18,987 --> 00:19:21,953
been passed down to us
implanted in our genetic code,
294
00:19:22,205 --> 00:19:26,406
as ancient astronaut
theorists believe?
295
00:19:26,427 --> 00:19:31,297
Perhaps further evidence can be
found, not by scientists, but
296
00:19:31,321 --> 00:19:37,190
by religious scholars, that claim
Adam and Eve really did exist.
297
00:19:43,170 --> 00:19:44,570
The Hebrew Bible.
298
00:19:45,682 --> 00:19:49,311
In it, the Book of Genesis
describes how God created the
299
00:19:49,330 --> 00:19:55,234
first two humans, Adam and Eve,
in the Garden of Eden and told
300
00:19:55,262 --> 00:19:59,631
them to "go forth and multiply."
301
00:19:59,653 --> 00:20:04,723
For centuries, scientists and
theologians have debated whether
302
00:20:04,746 --> 00:20:10,383
this story of the Creation of Man
was mere myth or historical fact.
303
00:20:10,412 --> 00:20:13,713
The Torah
mentions that humanity is made
304
00:20:13,728 --> 00:20:17,330
out of the dust of the Earth,
and that God breathed life into
305
00:20:17,348 --> 00:20:20,015
this to make us animated.
306
00:20:20,029 --> 00:20:23,729
Here is the breath of soul,
the breath of vitality,
307
00:20:23,747 --> 00:20:27,232
the divine breath that
suggests that with the spark
308
00:20:27,248 --> 00:20:30,148
the life force that makes
a human body tick
309
00:20:30,163 --> 00:20:32,363
it's divine in its nature
310
00:20:34,182 --> 00:20:38,182
In 1987,
scholars disagreements
311
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,600
over the origin of man intensified
312
00:20:40,612 --> 00:20:44,912
with the discovery that the genetic
lineage of every living person
313
00:20:44,932 --> 00:20:49,332
could be traced back to a single
woman who once lived in Africa.
314
00:20:53,270 --> 00:20:54,970
It's pretty well established by now
315
00:20:54,977 --> 00:20:58,077
particularly from the
molecular, the DNA record
316
00:20:58,093 --> 00:21:02,493
that homo sapiens did
originate at one place in Africa
317
00:21:02,513 --> 00:21:08,013
and after having become fully modern
in the sense of intellectually modern
318
00:21:08,542 --> 00:21:12,442
spread out to occupy Europe,
to occupy Eastern Asia
319
00:21:12,761 --> 00:21:14,761
and the old world in general.
320
00:21:15,374 --> 00:21:17,274
It is sometimes
called the Eve model
321
00:21:17,383 --> 00:21:20,283
not meaning that we all descended
from the same woman
322
00:21:20,297 --> 00:21:23,197
but it does mean that
there was a woman
323
00:21:23,211 --> 00:21:26,711
in that early population
migrating out of Africa
324
00:21:26,727 --> 00:21:30,427
who was the only female,
who ultimately left her genes
325
00:21:30,446 --> 00:21:31,846
in every modern person.
326
00:21:32,254 --> 00:21:35,054
But is it possible that
mainstream science
327
00:21:35,068 --> 00:21:38,468
and the book of Genesis are
both pointing to the same
328
00:21:38,484 --> 00:21:42,885
moment in ancient time when modern
man first appeared on Earth.
329
00:21:45,417 --> 00:21:47,817
The myth of Adam and
Eve, I think, it's not a myth
330
00:21:47,904 --> 00:21:49,504
I think it's a true story
331
00:21:49,713 --> 00:21:50,713
I think Adam and Eve
were on this planet
332
00:21:50,719 --> 00:21:57,619
they were the first human
beings that we know of
333
00:21:57,650 --> 00:22:00,250
and they helped populate this planet
334
00:22:01,770 --> 00:22:03,170
What is the Garden of Eden?
335
00:22:03,176 --> 00:22:05,576
I think it just happened
to be the area
336
00:22:05,588 --> 00:22:09,489
that the genetically manipulated
human beings, Adam and Eve,
337
00:22:09,709 --> 00:22:10,709
were placed.
338
00:22:10,916 --> 00:22:14,717
That's where they lived that's
where they started to breathe
339
00:22:14,735 --> 00:22:18,135
and that's where the population's
planet started to grow
340
00:22:18,150 --> 00:22:21,450
If Adam and Eve
actually had existed
341
00:22:21,466 --> 00:22:23,666
as described in the Hebrew Bible,
342
00:22:23,777 --> 00:22:27,477
might this also mean
that a serpent really did
343
00:22:27,494 --> 00:22:30,194
tempt them to eat from
the tree of knowledge
344
00:22:30,208 --> 00:22:34,808
and if so, might this account
have been an effort to describe
345
00:22:34,829 --> 00:22:37,729
the sudden awakening of
the modern human mind,
346
00:22:37,743 --> 00:22:41,343
when man first became
an intelligent being.
347
00:22:41,361 --> 00:22:47,061
In the Bible says that if
you eat from this tree
348
00:22:47,086 --> 00:22:48,586
you will be like god.
349
00:22:48,593 --> 00:22:54,893
Satan in a form of a snake
tempted Adam and Eve
350
00:22:54,923 --> 00:22:57,323
and promises them
that they will be like god
351
00:22:57,335 --> 00:23:02,435
The knowledge that
Adam and Eve acquire
352
00:23:02,535 --> 00:23:04,635
as well as humanity in general
353
00:23:04,645 --> 00:23:08,745
gives man the ability to eventually
carry out genetic manipulations
354
00:23:12,481 --> 00:23:14,581
So what was
this tree of knowledge?
355
00:23:14,591 --> 00:23:19,691
Is the tree of knowledge
in fact a helical DNA sequencing
356
00:23:19,715 --> 00:23:24,214
in our own bodies that
was genetically engineered
357
00:23:24,235 --> 00:23:26,835
by extraterrestrials
50,000 years ago?
358
00:23:26,942 --> 00:23:29,742
So that we would have the
abilities that we have today?
359
00:23:29,755 --> 00:23:34,894
In my mind, it's our DNA itself
that is the Tree of Knowledge.
360
00:23:34,919 --> 00:23:38,719
But why was this
suddenly a bad thing?
361
00:23:38,941 --> 00:23:43,310
It would seem that the aliens...
some of them wanted us to have
362
00:23:43,331 --> 00:23:48,434
this knowledge, to be like the
gods, but others said no, no.
363
00:23:48,459 --> 00:23:52,093
Man is not to have all
of this knowledge.
364
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,482
This is also the same story of
the Greek god Prometheus, who,
365
00:23:56,502 --> 00:24:01,038
against the orders of the other
gods, comes down to Earth and
366
00:24:01,061 --> 00:24:04,061
gives mankind the
knowledge of fire.
367
00:24:04,714 --> 00:24:09,917
But because of this gift to
mankind, he himself, as a god,
368
00:24:09,942 --> 00:24:13,544
is, like Satan, he's
banished from the Earth.
369
00:24:13,563 --> 00:24:14,996
And why?
370
00:24:15,003 --> 00:24:18,269
Because he helped mankind to
have greater knowledge.
371
00:24:22,145 --> 00:24:26,145
The whole idea
or concept of Satan
372
00:24:26,163 --> 00:24:30,763
is based on a misunderstood
visit by extraterrestrials
373
00:24:30,786 --> 00:24:32,586
in the remote past.
374
00:24:34,002 --> 00:24:36,038
According to the ancient
astronaut theory,
375
00:24:36,050 --> 00:24:41,884
the reason why we have
the idea of a Satan today
376
00:24:42,015 --> 00:24:45,049
is because there might have
been some type of a mutiny
377
00:24:46,373 --> 00:24:48,974
between good and bad
378
00:24:48,987 --> 00:24:52,254
extraterrestrial factions
in the remote past.
379
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,791
And so the mutineers were cast
out by the commander and they
380
00:24:59,813 --> 00:25:04,381
became known as
the evil fallen angels,
381
00:25:05,809 --> 00:25:07,145
which they never were.
382
00:25:09,765 --> 00:25:12,634
If as astronaut
theorists believe,
383
00:25:12,649 --> 00:25:16,151
extraterrestrials were
responsible for providing humans
384
00:25:16,168 --> 00:25:18,068
with intelligence, might they
385
00:25:18,079 --> 00:25:21,378
have also given man
the ability to speak?
386
00:25:22,434 --> 00:25:26,035
Our voice box, our larynx
is so different than the apes
387
00:25:26,148 --> 00:25:29,048
even the chimpanzee who's
our closest cousin
388
00:25:29,062 --> 00:25:32,162
that we are able to produce
sounds and produce language.
389
00:25:32,177 --> 00:25:36,377
To a scientist today, that's almost like
it was genetically designed
390
00:25:36,397 --> 00:25:40,597
so that we can
say words and sing
391
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,920
There really isn't anything more
advanced than the human language
392
00:25:45,037 --> 00:25:49,837
So many different cultures, dialects,
languages around the world
393
00:25:50,061 --> 00:25:55,661
and the very fact we can communicate
on such a deep extensive level
394
00:25:55,686 --> 00:25:58,386
that really sets us apart
from all other animals.
395
00:26:00,207 --> 00:26:02,707
Who invented language?
Where did that come from?
396
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,920
Was it something instilled in us?
397
00:26:06,135 --> 00:26:09,435
I think there is a mystery to it,
that to a large degree science
398
00:26:09,451 --> 00:26:12,151
and the world of history,
even archeology are still
399
00:26:12,163 --> 00:26:13,463
scrambling around for answers
400
00:26:13,471 --> 00:26:16,371
Maybe we shouldn't be looking
down here for answers
401
00:26:16,485 --> 00:26:17,985
maybe we should
be looking up there.
402
00:26:21,307 --> 00:26:22,807
We are told in the bible
403
00:26:22,814 --> 00:26:26,815
that we are made into the image
of God What does that mean?
404
00:26:26,934 --> 00:26:30,835
Does it mean that we were made
physically in somebody's image?
405
00:26:31,347 --> 00:26:33,947
And so as for the question namely
406
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,660
whether we are
descendants from apes
407
00:26:35,668 --> 00:26:37,368
or some other creatures
on this planet
408
00:26:37,377 --> 00:26:39,577
or whether we have
been truly engineered
409
00:26:39,688 --> 00:26:42,488
can be answered by mythology.
410
00:26:43,404 --> 00:26:47,309
Mythology is able to say that we
are not descending from the ape,
411
00:26:47,329 --> 00:26:50,597
but that something happened
on this Earth and an alien
412
00:26:50,614 --> 00:26:53,583
intervention came and we
were the end result of this.
413
00:26:55,807 --> 00:26:56,773
In my opinion
414
00:26:56,787 --> 00:26:59,587
the extraterrestrials,
by an artificial mutation
415
00:26:59,601 --> 00:27:02,201
they created the
intelligence of human
416
00:27:02,414 --> 00:27:04,614
Then the extraterrestrial disappeared.
417
00:27:04,625 --> 00:27:10,925
And some of our ancestors had
again sex with their ancestors,
418
00:27:10,955 --> 00:27:12,855
with ape-like beings.
419
00:27:12,863 --> 00:27:17,303
And that was called into
mythology, "original sin."
420
00:27:18,129 --> 00:27:21,532
Then they return again, the gods,
they realized what happened...
421
00:27:22,554 --> 00:27:26,989
and they decided to destroy the
whole race by a great flood,
422
00:27:27,010 --> 00:27:28,910
and to restart the experiment
423
00:27:28,921 --> 00:27:32,588
again with what we call
in mythology, Noah.
424
00:27:32,709 --> 00:27:33,774
That's all text.
425
00:27:33,780 --> 00:27:35,349
That's the way it is.
426
00:27:37,869 --> 00:27:42,071
It would appear that
extraterrestrials came
427
00:27:42,091 --> 00:27:48,663
here, used great apes, other
early hominids, created what
428
00:27:48,695 --> 00:27:52,663
would be Neanderthal man, or
Homo erectus, somebody similar
429
00:27:52,682 --> 00:27:58,686
to us, and then refined that
hominid until they came up with
430
00:27:58,716 --> 00:28:04,020
Homo sapiens...
and then the other early
431
00:28:04,045 --> 00:28:07,212
hominids were destroyed.
432
00:28:07,228 --> 00:28:10,229
Might the biblical account
of Adam and Eve and
433
00:28:10,245 --> 00:28:15,581
Noah's Ark really be the retelling
of extraterrestrial events,
434
00:28:15,606 --> 00:28:18,673
as ancient astronaut
theorists believe?
435
00:28:18,724 --> 00:28:22,926
Perhaps further evidence can
be found in the archeological
436
00:28:22,947 --> 00:28:24,747
remnants and eyewitness
437
00:28:24,758 --> 00:28:29,325
accounts from man's earliest
known civilization.
438
00:28:33,025 --> 00:28:34,825
Northern Iraq
439
00:28:35,737 --> 00:28:40,057
Along the east bank of the
Tigris River, opposite the city
440
00:28:40,079 --> 00:28:44,849
of Mosul, lie the ruins of
the ancient city of Nineveh,
441
00:28:44,872 --> 00:28:49,605
a place originally inhabited
by the Sumerians of Mesopotamia.
442
00:28:52,813 --> 00:28:58,852
Here, in 1842, British archaeologist
Austen Henry Layard
443
00:28:58,881 --> 00:29:01,581
unearthed the ruins of
the great library of
444
00:29:01,764 --> 00:29:06,967
Assurbanipal, a royal archive
containing thousands of clay
445
00:29:06,993 --> 00:29:09,493
tablets with cuneiform inscriptions.
446
00:29:10,813 --> 00:29:16,082
Dating to 3000 BC, the messages
carved into stone are considered
447
00:29:16,107 --> 00:29:18,641
to be the world's first
written accounts.
448
00:29:19,659 --> 00:29:22,059
Sumerian tablets are
probably one of the oldest
449
00:29:22,134 --> 00:29:23,934
form of written record that we have.
450
00:29:25,952 --> 00:29:29,652
They've been translated and
tell exciting stories about how
451
00:29:29,669 --> 00:29:31,469
Gods intervene with human beings
452
00:29:31,571 --> 00:29:34,271
and actually had a hand in
the creation of human beings.
453
00:29:34,284 --> 00:29:38,184
Whether or not it's just
mythology, or if it's fact
454
00:29:38,202 --> 00:29:39,302
no one really knows.
455
00:29:40,211 --> 00:29:44,511
According to interpretations
of the sumerian tablets,
456
00:29:44,533 --> 00:29:47,233
the gods were called
the Annunaki.
457
00:29:49,053 --> 00:29:49,853
What we are looking at here,
458
00:29:50,862 --> 00:29:53,661
is a sumerian tablet that
actually shows the tree of life.
459
00:29:53,674 --> 00:29:57,574
linked by divine beings, you can
see here the Annunaki on each side
460
00:29:57,834 --> 00:30:01,602
We also see the winged disc, a
symbolic reference that the
461
00:30:01,620 --> 00:30:03,820
Anunnaki had the power of flight.
462
00:30:04,268 --> 00:30:08,604
They actually had necklaces
with astronomical references--
463
00:30:08,626 --> 00:30:12,361
a moon, a star, various symbols,
which even could be symbolized
464
00:30:12,379 --> 00:30:16,881
as a wristwatch-- technology
being used 6,000 years ago.
465
00:30:17,674 --> 00:30:20,508
The written accounts etched into stone
466
00:30:20,523 --> 00:30:24,592
suggest the Annunaki were
giant beings, standing eight
467
00:30:24,612 --> 00:30:28,614
feet tall, who came to Earth
in search of gold for
468
00:30:28,633 --> 00:30:29,633
their home planet.
469
00:30:30,946 --> 00:30:34,281
When the Sumerian gods,
the Anunnaki, realized the
470
00:30:34,299 --> 00:30:38,034
toll it was taking to mine the
gold themselves, they decided
471
00:30:38,052 --> 00:30:42,088
to fashion a worker being, a
slave to mine the gold for them.
472
00:30:43,112 --> 00:30:46,681
And they explain in the Sumerian
creation tales that this was an
473
00:30:46,699 --> 00:30:47,831
arduous process.
474
00:30:48,139 --> 00:30:52,308
So it's very possible that our
genetic evolution was a process
475
00:30:52,329 --> 00:30:55,897
done by the Anunnaki to
create us in their image and
476
00:30:55,916 --> 00:30:57,184
after their likeness.
477
00:30:58,496 --> 00:31:02,529
They created man according
to the sumerian texts.
478
00:31:02,957 --> 00:31:05,957
They created Adam and Eve.
479
00:31:06,374 --> 00:31:09,774
How interesting that the
Bible will echo the story
480
00:31:10,997 --> 00:31:13,632
but talked about it in terms of God.
481
00:31:17,709 --> 00:31:19,909
So much like these highly
advanced creatures
482
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,120
we're acting as teachers.
483
00:31:22,131 --> 00:31:27,531
And certainly sumerian culture
and mythology is full of stories of,
484
00:31:27,556 --> 00:31:32,256
you know, we're saving visitation
from these mysterious higher entities
485
00:31:33,282 --> 00:31:36,282
that you know bestowed wisdom
and fantastic ideas and concepts.
486
00:31:36,297 --> 00:31:38,901
And, you know, you have to
wonder-- is this just down to
487
00:31:38,915 --> 00:31:40,381
myth, or was somebody coming
488
00:31:40,390 --> 00:31:43,056
down and really trying to give
us a push, if you like?
489
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,590
Ancient chronicles of sky
beings creating human
490
00:31:49,607 --> 00:31:54,075
life are common in early cultures
found all over the world.
491
00:31:54,968 --> 00:31:58,637
But while mainstream scholars
often dismiss this evidence,
492
00:31:58,655 --> 00:32:03,658
might such tangible historical
accounts provide proof of alien
493
00:32:03,682 --> 00:32:06,083
intervention in man's evolution,
494
00:32:06,498 --> 00:32:09,064
as ancient astronaut
theorists believe?
495
00:32:09,615 --> 00:32:12,747
The Sumerians are
not the only culture
496
00:32:13,065 --> 00:32:14,565
that talks about this.
497
00:32:14,674 --> 00:32:18,077
Also in the Koran, it says that
498
00:32:18,093 --> 00:32:23,061
language was given to us by
Allah, or God.
499
00:32:24,126 --> 00:32:26,293
The Maya Popol Vuh says that
500
00:32:26,305 --> 00:32:28,672
language was given
to us by the gods.
501
00:32:29,991 --> 00:32:35,895
The ancient Egyptian texts are
saying the exact same thing.
502
00:32:35,925 --> 00:32:41,929
It doesn't matter what ancient
culture we look at, they all say
503
00:32:41,958 --> 00:32:47,629
the same, that language
was a gift from the gods.
504
00:32:48,961 --> 00:32:52,194
We should finally come
to grips with the idea
505
00:32:52,213 --> 00:32:57,313
that extraterrestrials had something
to do with our development.
506
00:33:01,091 --> 00:33:03,828
Prior to the use of
early systems of writing,
507
00:33:03,842 --> 00:33:08,112
ancient people carved symbolic
communication into stone.
508
00:33:08,736 --> 00:33:10,869
Called petroglyphs, the oldest
509
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,980
date to about 10,000 to
12,000 years ago.
510
00:33:16,310 --> 00:33:20,679
According to ancient astronaut
theorists, petroglyphs located
511
00:33:20,700 --> 00:33:25,403
in the American Southwest link
the prehistoric ancestors of the
512
00:33:25,425 --> 00:33:28,692
Zuni and Hopi tribes
with star beings.
513
00:33:32,193 --> 00:33:37,193
The first graphic expressions
by humans were petroglyphs.
514
00:33:37,220 --> 00:33:42,159
That means symbols or figures
scratched into stone.
515
00:33:42,184 --> 00:33:45,920
The Hopi Indians, for example,
scratched petroglyphs into their
516
00:33:45,938 --> 00:33:50,040
rock faces that show people with
radiating wreaths, gods that
517
00:33:50,060 --> 00:33:52,794
descend from the sky.
518
00:33:52,808 --> 00:33:57,344
The Hopi Indians say that
these beings are Kachinas--
519
00:33:57,366 --> 00:34:01,368
beings from space who came to
Earth in aircraft, who were not
520
00:34:01,388 --> 00:34:04,557
gods, but who brought them
knowledge from another planet.
521
00:34:06,582 --> 00:34:11,318
We have the same phenomenon
in Europe, in Valcamonica.
522
00:34:11,341 --> 00:34:13,008
We have it in Asia.
523
00:34:13,017 --> 00:34:16,718
We have it in Brazil.
524
00:34:16,737 --> 00:34:19,572
When we look at the
fact that all around the world
525
00:34:19,586 --> 00:34:23,921
we hear similar legends of
people from the stars coming
526
00:34:23,943 --> 00:34:26,978
down and having a profound
impact on the people of this
527
00:34:26,993 --> 00:34:29,727
country or that particular
culture, all embroiled in
528
00:34:29,741 --> 00:34:32,642
similar time frames, you
know, we're seeing a pattern
529
00:34:32,657 --> 00:34:36,792
developing, and it's difficult to dismiss
that that pattern is suggestive.
530
00:34:36,812 --> 00:34:40,013
In our ancient past, creatures
came down, interacted with us,
531
00:34:40,030 --> 00:34:44,163
and maybe manipulated us to
become the people we are today.
532
00:34:47,836 --> 00:34:54,009
Why are so many past
civilizations all saying similar things?
533
00:34:54,375 --> 00:34:59,378
I think the simple answer is,
is that the same thing happened
534
00:34:59,402 --> 00:35:01,936
and they know the story.
535
00:35:01,949 --> 00:35:06,352
And the story is that
extraterrestrials came to this
536
00:35:06,374 --> 00:35:10,709
planet, genetically made and
manipulated whatever creatures
537
00:35:10,730 --> 00:35:14,563
were here at the time, and
helped jump-start society.
538
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:22,926
The bottom line is every
civilization talks about
539
00:35:22,963 --> 00:35:27,632
the existence of man through the
eyes of a god, and if you think
540
00:35:27,655 --> 00:35:32,025
of the eyes of the god as
ETs, it all makes sense.
541
00:35:32,850 --> 00:35:36,118
Back then, this was the
way they communicated events
542
00:35:36,135 --> 00:35:37,769
that were significant to them.
543
00:35:38,581 --> 00:35:42,683
And so when we have this imagery
of the so-called star people on
544
00:35:42,702 --> 00:35:44,001
petroglyphs and things like that,
545
00:35:44,010 --> 00:35:47,246
they're clearly chronicling
something real,
546
00:35:47,262 --> 00:35:50,195
to my mind at least, that
occurred in their history.
547
00:35:50,479 --> 00:35:51,646
The big question is, what?
548
00:35:52,958 --> 00:35:55,659
But while the evidence
of contact between
549
00:35:55,674 --> 00:36:00,577
alien beings and early humans is
compelling, what if life did not
550
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:05,333
begin here on Earth, but
arrived from somewhere else?
551
00:36:09,124 --> 00:36:12,053
Huntsville, Alabama.
552
00:36:12,471 --> 00:36:14,671
NASA's Marshall
Space Flight Center.
553
00:36:16,223 --> 00:36:21,760
Here, in March of 2011,
astrobiologist Richard Hoover
554
00:36:21,787 --> 00:36:26,123
reports the extraordinary news
that he found micro fossil
555
00:36:26,145 --> 00:36:29,246
organisms-- or ancient
bacteria-- inside rare
556
00:36:29,262 --> 00:36:33,431
meteorites that are more than
four billion years old, dating
557
00:36:33,450 --> 00:36:36,450
back to the birth
of our solar system.
558
00:36:38,477 --> 00:36:43,046
Until recently, scientists did
not believe life could survive
559
00:36:43,069 --> 00:36:45,503
the rigors of space travel.
560
00:36:45,516 --> 00:36:50,218
But Hoover's finding suggests that
live bacteria made it to Earth
561
00:36:50,241 --> 00:36:52,541
and may have even taken root here.
562
00:36:56,948 --> 00:37:00,848
Microorganism trapped
inside the comets
563
00:37:00,968 --> 00:37:05,868
can survive the travel
through interplanetary space
564
00:37:05,890 --> 00:37:07,690
and interstellar space.
565
00:37:07,701 --> 00:37:10,404
And the reason is that the
566
00:37:10,418 --> 00:37:14,186
microorganism are trapped
in the rocky core.
567
00:37:15,612 --> 00:37:20,147
Around, you have a thick
shield of icy material.
568
00:37:20,573 --> 00:37:25,240
And on top, you have a
stratification of dust.
569
00:37:26,170 --> 00:37:28,837
Dust is highly effective in
570
00:37:28,851 --> 00:37:34,053
shielding the microorganism
from ultraviolet light.
571
00:37:35,219 --> 00:37:39,553
So comet are an excellent
vehicle to transport
572
00:37:39,744 --> 00:37:43,445
microorganism, single-cell life,
573
00:37:43,463 --> 00:37:46,664
amino acid in the
vastness of space.
574
00:37:49,763 --> 00:37:52,030
Instead of aliens
coming to the earth in UFOs
575
00:37:52,050 --> 00:37:53,350
in classic Hollywood terms
576
00:37:53,457 --> 00:37:57,957
a microbial phase of life comes
to the earth in a meteorite
577
00:37:57,977 --> 00:38:00,577
survives entering
our atmosphere
578
00:38:00,690 --> 00:38:04,992
crashes on the planet
and begins to thrive.
579
00:38:05,014 --> 00:38:10,918
The theory that life on
Earth began with alien
580
00:38:10,946 --> 00:38:12,813
organisms landing here from
581
00:38:12,823 --> 00:38:15,822
other parts of the
universe is controversial.
582
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:21,483
Called panspermia, one of the
most vocal proponents of this
583
00:38:21,504 --> 00:38:25,873
theory was Sir Francis Crick,
a British scientist who
584
00:38:25,895 --> 00:38:29,630
co-discovered DNA in 1953.
585
00:38:30,753 --> 00:38:33,853
Francis Crick co-discovered
586
00:38:34,007 --> 00:38:35,507
of the double helix himself.
587
00:38:36,218 --> 00:38:39,118
Said that all this
can't happen by chance
588
00:38:39,231 --> 00:38:41,031
that it has to have
been engineered.
589
00:38:42,145 --> 00:38:46,017
One of his arguments is that the
rotation of the DNA is in the
590
00:38:46,037 --> 00:38:48,136
same direction
for all living things.
591
00:38:49,756 --> 00:38:54,325
Had DNA developed on Earth, it
would probably have had a 50-50
592
00:38:54,347 --> 00:38:57,748
distribution, and that's exactly
what we don't have.
593
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:03,960
One of the reasons why I think
594
00:39:03,968 --> 00:39:07,968
the theory of panspermia
is so incredible
595
00:39:08,087 --> 00:39:12,487
is that it tells you that there
is life throughout the universe.
596
00:39:14,017 --> 00:39:19,790
If panspermia is correct, life
came here on comets or meteorites,
597
00:39:19,818 --> 00:39:22,585
and we're being seeded,
not only on this planet,
598
00:39:22,669 --> 00:39:24,167
but other planets as well.
599
00:39:24,946 --> 00:39:26,712
And it could be part
of the great design.
600
00:39:29,169 --> 00:39:33,736
It is the intentional
deliberate colonization
601
00:39:33,774 --> 00:39:39,375
of other planets, other worlds
by an intelligent race of beings
602
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:43,600
using not flying saucers landing
in the desert somewhere
603
00:39:43,619 --> 00:39:44,719
or in the middle of the sea
604
00:39:45,128 --> 00:39:47,528
but the best way
to colonize a planet
605
00:39:47,639 --> 00:39:52,239
you colonize it with your own DNA
and let the DNA sprout
606
00:39:52,261 --> 00:39:53,661
into your own species
607
00:39:55,375 --> 00:39:57,947
In terms of our science
and technology today,
608
00:39:57,961 --> 00:40:03,096
we have the ability to extract
cells and DNA at a genetic level
609
00:40:03,121 --> 00:40:05,288
and save them.
610
00:40:05,300 --> 00:40:08,768
That's how we have so-called
test tube babies for couples
611
00:40:08,785 --> 00:40:10,118
who can't have babies.
612
00:40:10,125 --> 00:40:13,391
We preserve the materials
for when they need it.
613
00:40:13,444 --> 00:40:17,179
And the day may well come when
we send into outer space the
614
00:40:17,197 --> 00:40:20,632
equivalent of, like, Noah's Ark,
but instead of sending literal
615
00:40:20,649 --> 00:40:25,019
animals, we send their essence--
their DNA, their genetic makeup.
616
00:40:26,044 --> 00:40:30,578
I don't rule out the idea that
we could seed a whole new world.
617
00:40:34,823 --> 00:40:38,061
Today, scientists know
that only about five
618
00:40:38,078 --> 00:40:39,777
percent of the DNA contained in
619
00:40:39,786 --> 00:40:43,220
our genes is used to
reproduce human beings.
620
00:40:43,807 --> 00:40:46,942
The remainder is an
undecipherable code, once
621
00:40:46,958 --> 00:40:50,760
referred to as junk DNA.
622
00:40:50,780 --> 00:40:55,915
But is it really possible that so
much of our DNA is unnecessary?
623
00:40:56,277 --> 00:40:58,444
Or might the majority of our DNA
624
00:40:58,455 --> 00:41:01,522
be decoded sometime in the future?
625
00:41:02,376 --> 00:41:04,209
And when it is, what might our
626
00:41:04,220 --> 00:41:08,187
DNA reveal about the
origin of modern man?
627
00:41:08,678 --> 00:41:11,811
Just because
we cannot decipher
628
00:41:11,997 --> 00:41:17,797
95% of our genetic material
doesn't necessarily mean
629
00:41:17,823 --> 00:41:22,823
that that 95% is
in fact useless.
630
00:41:24,356 --> 00:41:27,863
Nature is extremely efficient.
631
00:41:27,881 --> 00:41:33,351
DNA is the most powerful storage
device in the universe.
632
00:41:33,377 --> 00:41:37,212
Not even with all the
supercomputers combined in the
633
00:41:37,231 --> 00:41:39,865
world could we store as much
634
00:41:39,879 --> 00:41:43,579
information as we
could store on DNA.
635
00:41:43,901 --> 00:41:48,136
So I'm suggesting that
the ultimate proof of
636
00:41:48,156 --> 00:41:53,560
extraterrestrial life will not
be found in a crashed spaceship
637
00:41:53,587 --> 00:41:59,993
or in a text, but it will be
found within our own genes.
638
00:42:01,530 --> 00:42:05,500
We have so much to
learn from studying our own DNA.
639
00:42:05,619 --> 00:42:10,719
We are only just now beginning
to decode the human DNA sequence
640
00:42:10,742 --> 00:42:16,116
And as we do that, what
we may discover is that
641
00:42:16,143 --> 00:42:21,112
extraterrestrial DNA is built
into our own genetics.
642
00:42:21,336 --> 00:42:26,173
Whatever is out there
created the universe, this
643
00:42:26,197 --> 00:42:28,829
planet, and other planets and life.
644
00:42:29,380 --> 00:42:35,084
And I strongly believe that this
tie-in with whether gods and ETs
645
00:42:35,112 --> 00:42:38,846
were one of the same might
very well be the case.
646
00:42:40,071 --> 00:42:45,175
It does not take away from the
fact that there's a god, that
647
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:49,268
there's a higher power, that
there's some creation out there
648
00:42:49,288 --> 00:42:54,658
that made the ETs, but I think
that layer between God and man
649
00:42:54,685 --> 00:42:58,254
is right in the middle, and
that's extraterrestrials
650
00:42:58,271 --> 00:42:59,671
from other planets.
651
00:43:01,387 --> 00:43:05,020
We have to learn that most
of our knowledge in religion
652
00:43:05,210 --> 00:43:09,010
is wrong, except one thing
there is creation
653
00:43:09,028 --> 00:43:11,928
there is what we call god
in all respect
654
00:43:12,244 --> 00:43:17,416
And we have to learn by religion
we are very teeny, little beings
655
00:43:17,441 --> 00:43:19,675
in this gigantic universe and
656
00:43:19,686 --> 00:43:24,119
why God is absolutely
inexpressible.
657
00:43:24,211 --> 00:43:25,644
It's so gigantic.
658
00:43:25,652 --> 00:43:27,018
It's so wonderful.
659
00:43:27,026 --> 00:43:29,393
So we would never lose God when
660
00:43:29,406 --> 00:43:33,406
we continue to think
of extraterrestrials.
661
00:43:33,494 --> 00:43:34,761
God becomes bigger.
662
00:43:37,682 --> 00:43:40,885
Is it really possible
that humans evolved
663
00:43:40,901 --> 00:43:44,737
from bacteria growing in some
sort of primordial ooze?
664
00:43:45,460 --> 00:43:49,162
Or were we intelligently
designed by a higher power--
665
00:43:49,581 --> 00:43:51,748
of extraterrestrial origin--
666
00:43:52,162 --> 00:43:54,929
as ancient astronaut
theorists believe?
667
00:43:55,816 --> 00:43:57,516
Perhaps the answer lies within
668
00:43:57,524 --> 00:44:00,190
the very essence of what
makes us, human.
669
00:44:00,843 --> 00:44:02,843
And with this knowledge, we may
670
00:44:02,853 --> 00:44:06,752
yet discover our rightful
place in the universe.
