Alien Evolution

I’m sure the diehard evolutionists out there will love this one…

Half a billion years ago life on this planet erupted into countless bizarre varieties of life-forms. This period, which scientists call the Cambrian Explosion, remains a mystery. How did it happen? Why did it happen?

The snowball Earth theory attempts to explain the mass creation by saying the planet had just emerged from a drastic ice age in which glaciers covered nearly the entire world. Before the big freeze, life existed as single-celled bacteria; after the meltdown, complex life popped up in the blink of an eye. The snowball Earth theory cannot adequately explain why. The best proponents can come up with is that an increase in oxygen levels triggered the evolutionary explosion. The snowball earth theory itself lacks conclusive evidence. Scientists cannot agree that the earth ever froze over completely.

Whatever caused the explosion of life, a mass extinction later wiped out most of the Cambrian creatures. Throughout our planet’s history, life has gone through cycles where life blossoms then is struck down by mass extinction. Could a connection exist between the cycle of extinctions, the Cambrian Explosion, and the paranormal?

Imagine an alien race first visited our world eons ago. They found primitive life-forms, bacteria and the like. These aliens, with their advanced technology, see Earth as a primeval world in need of molding. A great experiment ensues.

The aliens tinker with the life-forms already present on Earth. They create a mind-boggling array of creatures, just to see if they can. Maybe the creatures they made eventually got too wild, or perhaps the aliens got bored with them. Either way, they decided to make a fresh start. The creators lob an asteroid at Earth, or perhaps use a weapon that leaves a meteor-like crater. Bam! Extinction.

The aliens could’ve repeated this cycle many times. Cook up some life-forms, study them, kill them off, and start again with a new batch. Human researchers use animals in their experiments, then kill the animals once they’ve completed their study. The idea is no more far-fetched than the hypothesis called evolution. Human researchers also try to create new life-forms. Scientists have made transgenic animals—creatures with foreign genes inserted into their DNA—which they use in lab experiments today.

If we can do it, so can “they.”

Of course, even if aliens had a hand in shaping life on this planet, the question of where they came from remains—which leaves room for God or whatever creator you believe in. Yes, in fact, it even leaves room for the wackiest idea of all—evolution!
