Incoming

Time to start writing 0n curve balls. Directed pansperma. the idea that we, the life that is we, could in fact be some kind of experiment. A Petri- dish so to speak, a science experiment created by peoples of far more intellect, far more advanced than ourselves(obviously).
I dont dismiss this theory, in fact i like it, i independently thought of it myself in fact(something i think a lot of people do, but then people cry plagiarism, which I hate) I digress. The idea that we could be some sort of experiment is intriguing. Could an alien race(not little green men) have come here, millions of years ago, to plant the seeds of human evolution. ploughed the scorching earth in order to lay cultivated bacteria,that,in time, would become, well, us, and all living creatures on this rock we call earth. Yes, they could. They could, as well, have been back every so often to check on our progress, you know, to make sure we are well watered, that we are getting enough light, that the greenflies have not destroyed too much of us. Perhaps, if monitoring somehow from a distance, they had to come back to check on us after every ice age, after the comet hit, just to make sure enough of us survived to continue with the experiment.
Perhaps there will come a point, pre determined or otherwise, when they will pop up and say hey, you have reached the next level, its taken you a while, you know, ironing out those creases, but you did it, you have evolved to a satisfactory stage where we would like to interject and help you on a bit. Perhaps we will all sit around a cosmic kitchen table, looking through the old photo album, reminiscing about the good old days "religion, that was funny wasn't it, boy we thought you had lost the plot on that one, and that moustache, what were you thinking?"
Who knows, maybe when we learn to use the third eye, or travel the speed of light, cure disease by thought process alone, or maybe when we stop fighting each other and decide to concentrate on other things, like our survival.

  1. I too like the idea. Not sure if I actually think it could be correct but as an idea, I do like it as a "fun" idea. Another I quite like is that intelligence is a side effect (or primary effect) of a virus. This virus would infect creatures but would only flourish in those with a certain "capacity". The virus alters the hosts DNA over a period of time and generations, making the host increasingly intelligent and thus able to make decisions that may (or may not) increase it's life span and therefore improving the habitat of the virus.

    Fun.

  2. Interesting concept of why and how we got here, the possibilities are endless. Makes for good conversation around the dnner table of a church revival.
