Scientists find Extraterrestrial genes in Human DNA

I came across this interesting article that claims " so-called 97% non-coding sequences in human DNA is no less than genetic code of extraterrestrial life forms"

What I don´t understand is how do they know it is part Extraterrestrial when they have no ET code to compare it with?

Celestials. Eh. Who knew.

It's almost as if The Canadian wasn't a valid academic source and that Sam Chang is a completely made up individual. But that would be some sort of insane conspiracy theory I'm sure.

Are you saying its totaly made up crap?

Well I thought it was a bit dubious, especialy if you read the whole article it tends to sound like some cult.

But the title "The Canadian" gave it a serious tone.

Yeah, I was thinking of James Howlett when I saw "The Canadian."

There's certainly no Professor Sam Chang working for the Human Genome Project anyway.

I also couldn't find any published scientific papers with the name either.

This article mentions Prof. Sam Chang and the article, both seem to be dismissed as a fabrication.

Though I didn't look into that article/page deeply, it could be shit too.

Blatantly. Anything in the last 5-10 years that talks about the mysterious 97% of our genome is a joke, non-coding DNA is a well researched topic (as in, we've found that it actually does stuff, just different stuff than we thought). It's still imperfectly understood, as so many things are, but there's not really any room left for hidden superpowers or aliens.

Few serious scientists (and almost no geneticists) use the phrase "junk DNA" anymore since it's factually known to be wrong.

Everyone knows we were genetically engineered by the Anunnaki. ''Prof. Sam Chang'' over there, seems to agree.

Im with Bicnarok. How do they know their extraterrestrial if they don't have an actual extraterrestrial to compare the gene with?

^^^Makes sense, it seems very possible if it was everywhere and forms the same covalent bonds as phospherous.

Seems to be only an idea though

Exactly what very early life was like is always going to be in the hypothetical stages unless you have a time machine.

Wanted pre 1965 paper money for time travel
Date: 2007-11-05, 3:36PM PST

i have come into the possession of my great grandfathers life work, among being a decorated aeronautical engineer it would appear he dabbled in the lesser accepted sciences. i have almost finished building his masterpiece a 1952 nash rambler time machine. unfortunately my grandfather didn't live long enough to find an energy source with high enough density to fuel his machine, but i believe i have the problem solved.

serious offers only, i would like to exchange paper money for paper money printed before 1965 (for OBVIOUS reasons!). i will pay 5% of the total currency exchanged, unfortunately i cannot offer transfers of coinage as i am already pushing the weight limit as it is!

please no solicitations on changing the future as any changing would only happen in an alternate future reality and be a waste of yours and my time.

If the idiot really believes he can travel in time... Why does he not just buy gold?

1. It's easier to buy than 1965 money.

2. If you don't manage to time travel (which he won't) then you lose nothing.

Overboard viral marketing for the third X-Files movie?

Take a look at "The Canadian" homepage. All their articles are of plentiful prodigious proportions.
