And it remains a possibility in my own mind for these reasons: The point of fact is that humans suddenly appeared from what seemed like out of nowhere with qualities not found before they arrived. If humans evolved like all other things on this planet, there would not be a question about why the sudden arrival. But because we didn't evolve like everything else here, there had to be intervention, there had to be something or someone who intervened.

> Sudden human appearance is the key to my thinking also. If you accept evolution, and you seem to, the 'intervention' (without saying who or what intervened) is in several areas. About 20 million years ago changes in vertebrae in the lumbar region of a monkey began to assume changes for upright posture.Bipedal walking preceded brain growth. It freed hands to develop more dexterity. It is not clear whether brain plasticity then pushed growth of the brain as hominids learned new skills with their better bodies and hands, but that seems a likely theory.

> Would aliens work first with the monkeys? Bring their own monkeys for mating? The evolution story without aliens looks logical. And then your approach has the problem of DNA. We can trace homologous DNA and make DNA trees and time tables. they fit a non-alien pattern. There are four known Homo tribes with some cross mating. All the DNA fits, nothing alien.

> -I know you know so much more than I do on this subject (and many more subjects as well), which is one reason I am questioning you with what comes to mind when I read your response. I know you say there is no need for an alien intervention, and that the human (as we are now) arrived just as planned by the UI. -But,just out of curiosity, could you suspend your logical mind for a moment and imagine this unlikely (in your mind) scenario, that say, in 5 or 10 years, give or take, scientist discover and prove that humans are a hybrid form of Hominids with an alien life form that has also been discovered (or arrived, or somehow became known). Could you look back thru time and see signs along the way of how this could be true with just what you know now? Of course, if this unlikely scenario did happen, it's still would not prove there is no UI, or that this too wasn't planned from the beginning. But, it is still a question in my mind that I would like to have erased if there truly was absolutely no possibility.
