Are we aliens?

It just depends on where you draw the line for "alien."

As Mindship implies, everything on earth, including the earth itself, is made from elements forged in the hearts of dying stars, the only places hot enough to produce any but the most basic elements. In that sense, everything is "alien."

Stray molecules on asteroid and meteors has also been known for decades, and is one among various other theories of how basic life originated on earth. It's not outlandish, but asterois crashing into earth to spark life billions of years ago hardly counts as alien in most usages of the word.

To me, it's just a mis-label in order to create a distinction. We live in a universe, which is a unified system. It created life through natural causes. To differentiate between "earth" and "anything but earth" is to create a needless distinction.

I'm thinking of another definition for you, Toku King. It starts with "p" and ends with "athetic." Can you guess what the word is?

Either that or, well, looking at the post time on top of each post after you post it. It's not that hard. I'd say that a five year old could do it, but you apparently couldn't.

Oh wow. You sure got me with that one. That was just so clever. I think my life is over because of that incredible reply. Einstein must be going "BRILLIANT!" right now in his grave.
Or, you know, it was absolutely stupid, and there's a reason why you pump gas for a living.

Yet you were keeping track. That's cute, trying to make it seem like I'm dumb instead of you being weird and stalker-ish.

That's about as much of keeping track as an elephant is blue. And I might have to spell it out for you, but elephants aren't blue. I don't want your brain to break trying to figure that out.

Uh-oh, I see someone's mad that the gas-pumper isn't living on minimum wage like he is!

How does that make me mad, exactly? Oh wait! I forgot that you're so desperate to sound clever, that you're willing to say anything at this point. Poor thing.

Guys. Shut up. I thought the Xenu thing was kinda funny.

And beyond that, I'll report you both for spam if it continues.

Can I join in?

If our origins are indeed from another planet, we probably destroyed it then came here and now we're going to destroy earth and go somewhere else. The whole human race is a common sci fi villain!

I wish we looked cooler then. Those dudes from "Independence Day" were awesome. Oh! I wanna be a Legion from "Gamera 2"!

yeah, humans look ****in' lame

Are we aliens?

Are we aliens? To other aliens we are. We're extraterrestrial life to them..

But to answer your question: Perhaps. Earth and the amoeba may've just happened upon each other when our galaxy was a true primordial soup. When it was completely unestablished during it's embryonic stages. Meaning when they/things were separate, as everything elses was, at first.

My take.

Earth might have been seeded by Aliens. As such humans could have been an experiment, Earth was our test. So far, in our short time, we have failed. Well I think anyway. 😄

There was a film that came out a few years ago that touched on that. With the guy at the end choosing to leave for an alien galaxy at the end instead of ging back to Earth with his fellow comrades. Something "Mars". I forget the title.

But as a species, maybe we have failed & maybe not, in comparison to others in the biological galactic community (if it exist). But who knows?

I watched this movie yesterday that i used to watch as a kid called "Starman". It was an excellent movie which is why i watched it so much way back.

The main guy was an alien cloned as a human that got our/S.E.T.I's invite sent out in some satellite voyager years ago. Then upon the alien leaving Earth for his star system he kindly goes "Out of all the species my kind has encountered in the galaxy, and there are many out there, we think humans are the most interesting of all of them. Know why? Because your species is at it's best when it's at it's worse." I think he meant perseverence-wise. Meaning we never give up. Now matter how much hell we go through. Our willingness to get up and strive and move upward and onward even if it costs us again until well succeed and we still go beyond that.

I liked the part where the lady asked him what was his world like and he softly said "We are one people. We all have the same law. We have no wars, disease, hunger, or poverty."

They fall in love, and at the end she cries and say "take me with you." as he's about to ascend to his mothership and he says "no, you will die there." and she says "i don't care." and he says "i do." Great movie, man.

"Contact" was really good too, with Jodie Foster.

The movie your thinking off was called "Mission to Mars" which I think is one of the best movies about Mars/space ever, like Apollo 13. The film Red Planet is terrible. Anyway... The other theory you could use is one brought fourth in the entire Area 51 (2005) video game on PS2. 🙂
