The question on how
we humans and our earth originated has been answerless for a long time. Many
people have different ideas about this matter. For now, I will be sharing with
you my thoughts on Anthony’s theory.
Anthony is a
character in a short story my teacher gave us to read. The story is about the
discussion of the origin of earth between a couple, Anthony and Helen, who
overheard a radio speaker talk about how we humans are actually aliens. This is
the theory I will discuss.
Anthony tried to
provoke Helen by saying: “Some science fiction writers have postulated that we
originated from elsewhere, our ancestors being a seed planted after a flight
from a distant dying planet.” In other words, Anthony as well as some science
fiction writers believe that we humans originated from aliens.
And it appears that
Anthony is not the only one agreeing to this theory. Many people out there also
believe the same thing. For example, a man on godlikeproductions.com questioned
Charles Darwin’s theory that we humans evolved from apes. According to him, if
we evolved from apes, why is it that we don’t have hair all over our body or
the flexibility to climb trees like those of the chimps? To him there is only
one possible conclusion: extra-terrestrials.
Although it seems
like such an absurd thought, some scientists have actually found proof that
life’s origin might have been aliens. A year ago in Antarctica, scientist have
found some meteor samples on the ice sheet that can emit nitrogen-containing
ammonia, which is a fundamental ingredient for the first self-replicating
molecules that eventually led to DNA, according to an article posted in
independent.com.
From the same website,
I have seen a little “war” between commenters about this article. Apparently,
most people who oppose this “humans are aliens” theory are those who are deep
believer of God. Well, as said in ucg.org, the Bible does not speak of aliens
like those from movies of science fiction novels. Instead it speaks of a Spirit
Being who “inhabits eternity” (Isaiah 57:15).
As a Catholic, I would
have to agree with the words written in the Bible. Not because I feel obliged
to, but because I believe in God. And I believe that God is never wrong. What
he wrote in the Bible is the truth, and that’s the only proof I need. Although
there continues to be more mind-boggling discoveries about similarities between
life on earth and in outer space, there is never any discovery significant enough
to oppose the Bible.
