There are very interesting arguments that the huge number of birth defects in our species, two chromosomes that are fused together in our DNA, and large amounts of genetic information that seems to serve no purpose, are evidence we did not evolve, but were genetically engineered. They postulate further that the “missing link” period in our history represents such an enormous leap between a bipedal ape with night vision, gorilla structure and brain, to the frail boned frame with self-destructive joints, thousands of genetic diseases and a brain that can concieve of cities and writing and ethics and music, that evolution should have taken millions of years but these changes happened in less than 100,000. Their theory is that a higher form not adapted to this world spliced its DNA with resident apes. They make interesting notes about the Bibles’ “the sons of heaven found the daughters of earth fair, mated with them, and there were giants in the earth in those days” and why patriarchs in Genesis lived these hundreds of years before God arbitrarily decided our years end at 120. And scientists indeed agree we have a “genetic clock”. Very Interesting Stuff.
1. Awesome name.
2. Many of my favorite episodes of Coast-to-Coast AM were discussions about the Nephilim. I don’t know that I believe it, but it’s a fascinating subject.
