OP,
Maybe this has been covered in the last 15 pages, but I'm curious as to who/what created the aliens?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24702399 I was wondering the same thing. Every time someone says aliens created humans they just leave it at that. It's like saying ta-da all questions answered the same way people say god poofed us into existence. Who made the aliens, who created the creators? Where does it all start?
In Genesis 1:26 God suggests that we live in a virtual reality with the words: "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness." On Simulation-argument.com Professor Nick Bostrom argues that at least one of the following must be true:
- The human species is very likely to go extinct before reaching a posthuman stage.
- Any posthuman civilisation is extremely unlikely to run a significant number of simulations of their evolutionary history (or variations thereof).
- We are almost certainly living in a computer simulation.
The Bible indicates that the world was created around 6,000 years ago in six days. Establishing the age of Earth is impossible because of the absence of objective reality. Scientific analysis of available artefacts on the ground suggests that Earth has evolved in billions of years. However a writing system was first developed around 5,500 years ago in Mesopotamia, just a few hundred years after Earth has been created according to The Bible. It may not be a coincidence that no written records of human history exist from before this time. Coincidentally Mesopotamia is also the location where the Garden of Eden must have been. Eve and Adam may still have been alive when a writing system was first developed, so there is a good chance that the story of Eve and Adam was already written down at that time and included later in Genesis.
Based on the information we have now, accident and evolution are the most likely causes of human existence. If there is unlimited time and space then there are unlimited possibilities. Human existence is a possible outcome of a process that lasted billions of years in a universe of billions of light-years in size. DNA shows traces of random development suggesting evolution.
Because of the existence of missing links in the fossil record of species the evidence for evolution is not conclusive, but those missing links may still be discovered in the future. However the concept of evolution contradicts with reincarnation. Therefore the big bang theory as an explanation for the origin of our universe and evolution as an explanation for the origin of species in this universe has become in doubt. The materialist big bang and evolution theories imply that a spirit resides in the body and dies with it.
Probably God is part of an advanced civilisation that came into existence by chance and evolution. Creating humans in the image of God therefore means copying humans from God's own world into an imaginary world called Creation. The word image implies that the species are copied and not designed. The copying of images included a fossil record of previous species.
The artefacts suggesting that our universe has evolved in billions of years are the result of The Programme creating a starting point for history to begin with. The transition from the setup phase of the programme called Creation, and the run phase of the programme called history may never be traceable. The Programme is responsible for simulating all physical, chemical and biological laws and evolution in the virtual world. The Programme is so advanced that it simulates human behaviour in detail.
