If anything, it proves advanced tinkering with plant genetics long ago.

As does the sudden emergence of agriculture with many species of food crops just happening to become utilized by people all over the globe at around the same time.

Couple that with the stories from each of these cultures which explain how this happened saying that the gods came and showed them how to do it.

This "case" is far from closed, as no one has the straight story.
Both evolutionists and creationists are far from the mark..... IMO.

You're right. It's far more rational to believe that aliens were involved.

You throw out a few "facts" that I think call for a little sourcing...

Can you help a brother out?

Do you know that out of the now 1000s of distinct reproducing breeds of dog over 80% of them are less than 150 years old? You fail to grasp just how fast selective breeding produces results.

The same time? Like the same day? Or over a period of 2 or 3 thousand years? You do not know? I know you don't. Nobody does.

Are you unaware that many kings, emperors, tyrants and conquerors claimed divinity? And people have always migrated and always will migrate. Their ideas and observations are not left behind.

CZ was right in laughing at this and asking who then? Aliens? Evolutionists have got it right. Evolution theory is now so solidly confirmed by experiments taking millions of man hours meticulous observation that to even mention it in the same way that you do is ridiculous. If you do not believe evolution theory you cannot accept any proof.

LOL thats funny

GlorytoGod · 11-22-2009, 06:21 PM

seriously though if some people think that they evolved from slime, well what can I say, if others think that a banana proves the existence of a creator God then fair play that also a silly idea IMO.

Hi Glory to G-d, I do not believe we evolved from slime. I believe we evolved from small molecules which reacted to form larger biomolecules from the proper combination of heat and light and oxygen and nutrients. These biomolecules eventually grew to the size of DNA and RNA. So do we agree ?

Now we are talking G2G.

You may not know, you may not even care, but believe it or not, some people do know how humans evolved. They are called evolutionary biologists. You might want to take some time to try to understand what they already know. Then you would not have to believe in a "Wizard of Oz".

Aye.
And I never said I didn't believe in the evidence of evolution.
You have to stop confusing apples for oranges Tao.
I agree more with 'Directed Panspermia' though.

But maybe Zecharia Sitchin ( The Official Web Site of Zecharia Sitchin ) has some ideas of merit as well.
Who knows.
Certainly none of us here.

Crick and Orgel wrote in their book 'Life Itself,' "an honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to have been satisfied to get it going."
