--> 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? 24 00:01:46,293 --> 00:01:49,293 sync and corrections by Bellows www.addic7ed.com 25 00:01:58,145 --> 00:01:59,645 South Africa 26 00:02:01,361 --> 00:02:06,230 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. 671 00:44:06,971 --> 00:44:08,471 sync and corrections by Bellows www.addic7ed.com 57369
