by debunking the book of enoch (which i haven't) is a good start. there is a big CHUNK missing that i just cant figure out the connection of "extraterrestrial beings" and the hidden knowledge of ancient civilization. it is so hard to look into this.is genesis the GENE OF ISIS? are slaves survivors of the flood? there is a huge missing block of truth.
Well, though I believe the biblical texts hold truth, I also believe much is hidden - in a lack of understanding on the part of the writer, or in agendas being placed deliberately therein.
And so I don't hold them to the "highest" truth. Just one set of items to study in piecing together the truth.

The fact that we, as humans, have inherent into our DNA many genetic diseases that KILL before breeding is possible states that we have been modified somewhere in the line.
Seriously. How is a genetic defect that will kill before breeding is possible passed down to the next generation? So that it can become part of the genetic makeup?
According to current theory on evolution, that is a blatant impossibility.

I've noticed that a fair number of posters in this thread have pointed out the fact that present day humans are imperfect beings and that if we were indeed genetically engineered by ETs, then they made a number of mistakes in the process and is therefore implausible. Personally, I think this is argument is every bit as "flawed" as our own genetic makeup is. I guess what I'm trying to say is, "Who said that the ETs were "perfect" genetic engineers?"
When we humans genetically modify things like crops or attempt to clone living animals, are we always "perfectly" successful? I think not. If we were to go to mars and begin terraforming the planet do you really think that our first attempt will produce perfect results? On top of that, If we accidentally created an unwanted life form in the terraforming process don't you think that we might opt to eliminate it and start over again from scratch?
Almost every known religious doctrine speaks of the great flood and the story relies heavily on the premiss that it was brought about as an attempt by "God" to basically clean the slate of the undesirable aspects of an exercise in the creation of life. So it appears that even God's first attempt at creating human life was an imperfect one, otherwise the flood would not have been necessary. I believe that the same premiss is portrayed by Robert Morning Sky in the Terra Papers.
I think that it is a mistake to assume that just because ETs may be vastly superior to us on a technological basis that they must also be perfect in their creations. Furthermore, with our constantly changing environment which affects us all in ways that we don't even realize, I seriously doubt that what is "perfect" today, will be continue to be considered as "perfect" in the future. I really think that "perfect" is a moving target at best.
Ever heard the term; "Nobody's Perfect?" I think it applies to ETs too.

Its been several years since i had high school biology, but couldnt you easily explain this knowing about recessive and dominant traits?
also... what genetic diseases kill before reproduction is possible?

I have Cystic Fibrosis and its in my genes and this is how it works
Cystic fibrosis is agenetic disease caused by mutations in a gene located on chromosome 7. Every cell in the body (except sperm in men and egg cells, oocytes, in females) has 46 chromosomes, or 23 pairs of chromosomes, one half inherited from the mother and the other half from the father. Genes on each of these chromosomes form the body’s blueprint for producing proteins that control body functions. A gene on chromosome 7 is responsible for the normal production of a protein called cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR). Mutations (defects at the DNA level) in this gene lead to absent or defective CFTR production, causing CF. More than 1,000 different CF mutations have been identified, although some are much more common than others.
Since CF is a recessive genetic disease, an affected individual must have a mutation in the CFTR gene on each chromosome 7 in order to be affected with CF (one abnormal copy is inherited from each parent). An individual with one normal gene and one abnormal gene is a CF carrier. Carriers do not have symptoms and are not ill, but they may pass a copy of their abnormal gene on to their children. Therefore, to have a child with CF, both biological parents must have an abnormal CF gene. In other words, they must both be carriers or have CF themselves in order for their child to have CF.
also More than 10 million Americans carry the cystic fibrosis gene..and there is no cure so if ETs genetically engineered us something went horribly wrong along the way~~

do you know about carl jung?? concerning anima and animus and the theory of 46 and 2 chromosomes?
