Aliens in Your Family Tree?

By , About.com GuideFebruary 24, 2010

Follow me on:

A scientist from Great Britain has made a very profound, yet troubling statement. All humans came from aliens from outer space. Really, now?

Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe says that his research shows that all humans were once aliens. All of this life on Earth was delivered via comets that hit our planet some 3,800 million years ago. His conclusions were published in Cambridge University's International Journal of Astrobiology. He stated:

"Yes, we are all aliens - we share a cosmic ancestry. Each time a new planetary system forms, a few surviving microbes find their way into comets. These then multiply and seed other planets."

See his findings at Humans Come from Aliens, and now maybe we know why some of our forefathers were so strange.

OK?!?! Isn’t that common knowledge among science buffs!!! Old news

Life possibly comes from comets, but humans ah ah ah. These people need to wake up and start thinking outside of the box.

i can’t seem to understand humans…..you are so violent and you are so scared of whats out there that you never consider trying to contact us using your new advances in technology….my father is not of this world and my mother still accepted him….i like that kind of human…

Al Gore’s DNA was probably on it’s own meteor. I had heard on a documentary that amino acids, the building blocks for proteins were found in meteors. We were taught that these amino acids formed in small pools here on earth so this was a new twist. If they indeed found amino acids on meteors then that could indeed be our connection with other lifeforms. I wouldn’t hold my breath though because science goes through trends and people get caught up sometimes in these type of things, only later to be recanted. Looks what’s going on with ‘global warming’ these days.

some of us are aware of other aliens in our tree not just microbes.

Some of my forebears were rather indiscrete with their social habits, particularly when they were under the influence of alcohol (which was pretty much most of the time). Wouldn’t be surprised at what may show up in my DNA.

When you get down to the bottom line, we are all aliens. We are formed from elements that were born in supernovae billions of years ago. Genesis says that God made man of the dust of the Earth – if you like, you may substitute your own Higher Power, but the account is accurate in that we literally ARE made of the same thing as the dust of the Earth. Our very atoms came from star systems that may have ceased to exist before the first two amoeba bumped into each other.

Then there is the theory that we, humankind, were hybridized from anthropoid ancestors, possibly a common antecedent of both humans and chimpanzees. That theory says that ET’s altered the DNA of certain of those common ancestors and set them on the road to becoming humans.

Whether that’s true or not I can’t say. But it’s interesting to contemplate.

Now the stories told by people who claim to have seen alien/human hybrids in large containers of some kind of fluid… there I’m going to have to say “habeus corpus”. People can claim anything – proving that claim may be something else entirely.

Read THE GREAT SECRET by Maurice Maeterlinck. It’ll probably make you agnostic.

Personally I can tell you that we all were made in the image of our Holy Father. Not some alien. This statement is just a tad bit out there. But, of course you believe what you want to believe in. But, on judgement day, no alien is going to give you eternal life or not…
But, on the lighter side of the coin, I have a boss at work that I know came from pluto….:)

Stay Blessed

Well now.I believe that this is the way it is and that is why they come back is to check on some of the peoples progress DNA.I still believe in God.But I put that all on the forum so I don’t have to state it again.God started all this Universe and all and I am sure this is his way.Aliens and all creation is from God from the leaves of trees to the snail on the ground and beyond.Boy these scientists are just realizing this.Maybe they’re not so smart after all.

@Rev

It is always interesting and a pleasure to see a man of faith throw his hat into the ring in this type of conversation. I am a great respector of people of Faith, my girlfriend is Jewish, I have Muslim, Catholic, Buddhist and even 7th day Adventist friends and I respect each of their beleifs equally, for that is their choice.

However, I would like to make the following comments:

1. Your faith / belief is built on the same hard evidence as those that believe we were seeded from outer space; which is none. How do I know this? because if either were 100% proveable, then we would all believe in the same thing.

2. Considering the popular theory that we were created / genetically manipulated into being by aliens; how can you catigorically prove that our Holy Father isn’t an alien being himself? it is no more or less plausible that an all powerful unseen diety wished us into being as opposed to ET visited and messed with our DNA. Both are just examples of belief systems, nothing more.
