The mystery of ancient man: Lost civilizations

Did visitors from space help build the great pyramids of Egypt and Central America?

Is advanced technology from an alien civilization needed to explain how ancient man could move huge stones, build monumental structures, create intricate artwork and organize complex cultures? Some think so, because of their evolutionary belief that ancient man was ‘primitive’.

If evolution were true, the further back into history we look, evidence should show a gradual decline in man’s intelligence, moving closer to the ape’s. Biblical creation would indicate otherwise. Man, created in God’s image, has always been intelligent. People make discoveries and invent things, and this knowledge is passed on and built upon. In this way, technology can increase within a society, but this is not because people become more intelligent.

For those of you who believe that all mankind decended from Adam and Eve, please explain how orientals, caucasions and other races evolved from them. Orientals are not black or hebrew and caucasions are not oriental or black or neanderthal..Please explain how these races came to be.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

Uhhh, is that an image of Jesus?

[numberonepal]

I do think that it coming here from another of our planets could probably be ruled out, though.

What about the possibility of life being seeded on Earth from a celestial collision?

Please explain how these races came to be.

Long periods of geographical separation maybe?

I agree with you on the game NASA is playing(an increased funding ploy?), but, having spent more time than I want to think of in the outdoors of the western US, I have seen some weird formations that from a distance appear to defy your statement about lines/curves...up close, not so much.

[eastforker]

Are you saying that traces of genetics or DNA just vanished from their bodies?

[wendy1946]

That’s because too many of those Spirit probe photos show mechanical debris strewn across the sands as well as building foundations, structural timbers and the like. Try doing a google search on ‘pia04995’ and download the hires (25mb) TIF version of the NASA image which turns up and check out the lower right corner area of the image.

What about the possibility of life being seeded on Earth from a celestial collision?

If I understand your question, I think it would have had to be a collision with something (rogue/life bearing) encountering our solar system.

What about the possibility of life being seeded on Earth from a celestial collision?

Any sort of an ancient alien theory as to life getting onto Earth originally just kicks the can a block or two down the road as far as evolution/evoloserism goes. No such theory can answer the mail for the Haldane dilemma or the amounts of time it would actually take for our present biosphere to arise ala Darwin/Gould if that were possible (it isn't).

"What about the possibility of life being seeded on Earth from a celestial collision"

That was largely Watson and Crick's as well as Hoyle's opinion, that life originated "elsewhere".

[ZX12R]

Are you saying that traces of genetics or DNA just vanished from their bodies?

No, just that they acquired changes unique to their isolated populations.

THANKS THANKS.

[mmercier]

The only thing that interests me is how the intricate carvings within Egyptian tombs were accomplished with no traces of carbon within pitch black tunnels.

I seriously doubt any aliens have visited Earth.

We are probably the aliens to them that have always been here.

[eastforker]

No, just that they acquired changes unique to their isolated populations. Wouldn't that be, according to your explanation, evolution. And all this was supposed to take place in a matter of just a couple thousand years?How long ago was it that Noah’s genes repopulated the earth???

[Purrsiancat]

Thanks, Lee. I see some problems with the argument but find the article interesting nonetheless with many good points.

[ZX12R]

I think I'm missing something here. I don't understand why you are asking me these silly questions, but I'll answer anyway:

Wouldn't that be, according to your explanation, evolution.

Yes.

And all this was supposed to take place in a matter of just a couple thousand years?

I believe the earth is billions of years old.

How long ago was it that Noah’s genes repopulated the earth???

I don't believe that the flood in Genisis destroyed all mankind except for Noah and his associates.

[eastforker]

My original question was to those that believed all mankind originated with Adam and eve.It’s evident that you don’t and you have an inquiring mind.

[ZX12R]

My original question was to those that believed all mankind originated with Adam and eve.

Okay, I missed that part. That explains things.

Merry Christmas!
