Somebody knows exactly and is keeping it from us.
Isn't that the big conspiracy? TPTB, or whatever you want to call them, have they figured out that nobody really knows anything for sure and can thus create religion, etc. to manipulate the masses to their will?
Or do TPTB have documentation and perhaps even communication with our creator/creators that would blow the lid off of everything we know?
It seems to me that most of us live somewhere in the middle, where we think we might know something but are not quite sure (hence the moniker). A bible here, a pyramid there. Clues pointing to something else. Something bigger than us. Bigger than what we know. But still, do we really know anything? Does anybody?

Have you ever considered, that it may be yourself, that is keeping this knowledge from yourself?
I appreciate this response. Certainly makes me think and I believe it will help me as I continue to explore this subject.

My question is not really so much "where did I come from" as it is "does anybody on this planet have any factual evidence that would tell me where I come from."
There is just that bit of restlessness because I would hate to not know if it is out there to get at.
