If you're going to ask Zecharia Sitchin, be ready for a "Planet of the Apes" scenario: spaceships and hieroglyphics, genetic mutations and mutinous space aliens in gold mines. It sounds like science fiction, but Mr. Sitchin is sure this is how it all went down hundreds of thousands of years ago in Mesopotamia. Humans were genetically engineered by extraterrestrials, he said, pointing to ancient texts to prove it... He is an apparently sane, sharp, University of London-educated 89-year-old who has spent his life arguing that people evolved with a little genetic intervention from ancient astronauts who came to Earth and needed laborers to mine gold to bring back to Nibiru, a planet we have yet to recognize... "Well, you could start by calling me the most controversial 89-year-old man in New York," Mr. Sitchin says. "Or you could just say I write books. I understand you've got to have an opening sentence, but describing my theories in a sentence, or even something like a newspaper article, is impossible. It will make me look silly." ...His 13 books, with names like "Genesis Revisited" and "The Earth Chronicles," have sold millions of copies and been translated into 25 languages. "And Albanian is coming," he notes, spooning the Taster's Choice into two mugs... He says the aliens' cities were washed away in a great flood 30,000 years ago, after which they began passing on their knowledge to humans. He showed a photograph of a woodcarving from 7,000 B.C. of a large man handing over a plow to a smaller man: Ah, the passing on of agricultural knowledge. Anyway, he said, the Nibiru-ites finally jetted home in their spacecraft, around 550 B.C.

AM IN TOTAL AGREEMENT WITH YOU ON THAT SCORE.
We should all be on guard. I don't think they can manufacture truly believable evidence, though. I'm not from Missouri, but they are going to have to SHOW ME!
They have had many thousands of years to work on the props and special effects.
I think rule number one in such a pass would be, don’t “be there” with a lizard, no matter how non-ugly she looks. “Yes” will just be the booze talking.
“The Twelfth Planet” came along almost ten years after “Chariots of the Gods”, but there are obvious parallels between ‘em.
My only problem with it is, the buffet has just two temperatures — molten lava level, and near-absolute-zero.
There was no Apollo 20. The last Apollo mission was number 17. There’s no sign of any construction or ruins on Mars, although one or two people apparently have made some money claiming there is.

Francis Crick (co-discover of DNA), after seeing how DNA worked, realized it didn’t evolve according to Darwin’s theory. He surmised that an intellegent being created it as a seed for life. An alien being that sent it out into space. (Of course, if you don’t believe in God, I guess you are left with aliens firing rockets with globs of DNA in them as your theory).
Hey, I’m sure Nibiru has launched a probe at the Russians, so they had it comin’.

It seems clear here that a number of posters should have taken a couple geology and paleontology courses in school before posting.
And yes, I do believe in God.
Thanks for the ping...I think.
LOL
The “theory” proposed was preposterous. Daniken was proven to have manufactured evidence. The 12th planet theory was worse. It was impossible.
Let's see if I can correct your logic here.
Evolutionists have no more evidence that any species evolved exclusively on this planet. than There is NO evidence for life to have been engineered or delivered by extraterrestrials.
Now doesn't that sound much better? ;-)
