I think one of the great things is that so many of us all have different ideas as to how humans may have started, and at least those of us who do, are not simply sitting back and accepting what we're always told. Right or wrong, we're choosing to think for ourselves, and that is our greatest asset. <br /><br />Are we an experiment, triggered in a way similar to that shown in 2001:A Space Odyssey (amongst others)? I don't know, but I find the idea entirely plausible. I've even written about it in a few un-published stories. If we have been manipulated, another possibility is that this 'intervention' happened right at the beginning, with the first spark on our planet. Or perhaps at multiple stages? For life forms of sufficient advancement, those kinds of time-scales would be inconsequential. <br /><br />As for considering us a failed experiment... I think perhaps it's the wrong way to look at it. Humanity in its currently developing technological and societal state has been around for less than the blink of an eye. To a life form that is monitoring us, I don't believe we could be a failure or a success yet. Our wars, our greed, our short-sightedness are relative.<br /><br /> If we are being monitored as you suspect, it could be that we are in a natural cycle before becoming better. Perhaps we're taking longer than others to move on from our failings. Perhaps we're quicker? It's impossible to know, but don't write off humanity yet. We're flawed, I know, but beside all of our failings, are some incredible achievements. :-) Only time will tell, but a much, much longer time than we've been around so far... ;-)Duncan's Guidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03058123205163604513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233673043694391536.post-24105788646833827572011-02-28T08:46:59.975-08:002011-02-28T08:46:59.975-08:00That would explain why disclosure will never happe...That would explain why disclosure will never happen, nobody wants to taint the experiment with outside influence.

It is this: There is, and has been, intelligent life out there, either in space, time or another dimension, for millennia. But until fairly recently (in a cosmic time frame) there was no intelligent life on this planet.<br /> So an entity, or entities, decided to do a genetic experiment. They chose a life form that we now call apes, and genetically altered it to form what we call human beings. Could such a life form become a being anything like the intelligent life forms that exist elsewhere in space or time?<br /> In other words, we are an experiment. We consider ourselves intelligent beings, and many say we were created by a god of some sort. What we really are: lab rats in a cage. UFOs are visitors: scientists or tourists watching as this experiment continues.<br /> It looks as if this experiment is headed for failure as we humans destroy ourselves through war after war, and, through greed and shortsightedness, the planet that sustains us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
