I think it's possible we were somehow engineered by an extraterrestrial species. At the same time though, if you dismiss creation theory and believe in evolution, then I don't see why it's also impossible to believe that we did evolve from a native Earth species. After all, if aliens DID create the human species, then said aliens would have had to evolve too. If they could be a product of evolution, I don't know why we couldn't be as well.
I was engineered by an alien species!?!?!?
Wow quality assurance sure does suck in space. I'd like to write a letter to Space Underwriter's Lab for this one.
If aliens engineered me, why I breath, drink, and eat from the same hole?!?!? You know how many humans die just because of that?!?? There's going to be a recall, or a class action suit, I tell you what.
Also, not as problematic, and maybe "clever", why do I expel waste liquid and reproduce from the same hole????
And now that I'm getting older, why the hair from my head showing up on my shoulders and in my ears?!?! Gotta fix the hair relocation issues.

If we are 'evolved' from apes, why are there still apes around? Shouldn't they have evolved by now?
We have 23 pair of chromosomes for a total of 46. I wonder how many chromosomes Apes have...24 pair for 48 chromosomes? That doesn't make any sense. Hmmm, how many other mammals have 46 chromosomes like we do?

I did think about my post and i said what i wanted to say. The fact it wasnt worded as to how you would have liked, is irrelevent. You didnt address my point or perhaps more likely didnt have the capacity to comprhend it.

Seems like every Astronaut has something to say about the existence of Aliens, and I'm wondering what the members of ATS think about these comments ? is it just crazy conjecture ? or the truth ?
Crazy conjecture. Generally speaking, and certainly back then, the astronaut core was made up of engineers, test pilots, and those of a similar educational background who likely never took a course in anthropology o%r paleontology in their lives. What do they know about human origins? Whatever they read in a book by Erik von Daniken. In other words, not only are they not experts in the field they are almost completely naive about the subject. This is yet another example of the invalid "argument from authority." Just because he flew around the Moon does not make him an expert in every field in which he cares to opine.
You really make me laugh here. You stated, 'just becuase he flew around the moon' as if its a walk to the local shop. You also state that his era of upbrininging and education, was in your words 'certainly back then' a relfection of his current views. However Einstien had split the atom and talked indepth about qauntum mechanics many years earlier and how it was spooky. You think for one second he wasnt on the cusp of modern science?

If I had to lay down money in Vegas on how the human race was started, I’m probably laying it on the Ancient Alien hypothesis.
In order of what I feel like would have been the most likely:
1) Ancient Alien Hypothesis
2) Evolution
99) Creationism
Now, I’m not sure exactly what the “Ancient Alien Hypothesis” would entail; probes with DNA, actual breeding with Ancient man, a complete reengineering of Ancient man. Take you pick.
I’m just saying that the massive increase in brain size of human beings is unaccounted for and the only thing I can think of that naturally could enhance that would be psychedelics, which may as well be from another planet.

Although we don't openly admit it, yes, our rituals and symbols support the claim that we are descendants of exoterric visitors. If interrogated, I would deny everything, but there you have it from the mouth of a Mason.
Of course, my statement should be taken as parody only.

I want to believe the evolution myth but I don't think it's real
why are we the only species to evolve it doesn't make sense? what about sharks and alligator's why is it only a single species that has evolved the way we have?
O
something else is going on that we can't understand or don't want to believe

Haha. I do love this theory and although interesting...
Here we are lead to believe ape's ate special mushrooms and they evolved in to a literal super version of themselves.
But the possiblity of a civilisation colonising a planet is the far-fetched idea.
Hmmm...
