Aww Sas,
I have to commend you on trying to rally the troops into an actual discussion. Could it be that we - in this neck of the woods (forum) - are more inclined to talk about ourselves, our thoughts about how we perceive the world, rather than try to objectively analyze it at a distance?
So back to your analysis, is this for SJ and TJ's or for humans on the whole? *tells self stop asking questions* Sorry about that.. Erm, the theory of DNA as a complex structure and its inclusion in all living things. Does tell me that there must be a higher mastermind, if it is God, as most people are inclined to believe and in His (holy) books He talk about things of a more spiritual nature. Does this mean that spirits are also created with a similar structure.. Does wind have DNA??
This is where i hit my first stumbling block. GOD. Show me proof he exists and then i could possibly believe. Noone can do this other than show me a book. *sigh*
Could it be this is where the theory of evolution vs. God exists?
If there were aliens, as some are inclined to believe, (I myself am not sure where I stand on this.) I would think that they would make themselves undisputedly known. On another note... It would be pure ignorance or could it be arrogance to think that they would want to come to destroy our race, after crossing that vast distance to just come so that they could study or destroy us.. Maybe? But, it's highly doubtful. *Starts to think about ants, crossing the ocean, to destroy or study the other ants* It would be more accurate to think that they would like to hold this world in their "back pocket" so to speak, as a source of minerals and/or energy.
Why make themselves known if we are just an experiment. Our possibilities are endless (intervention always plays a part here). We have free choice to make of our lives as we choose. Imagine for a moment your a researcher, firstly all data is possibly corrupt to show in favour of a desired outcome so there is a flaw. You need people to participate. The list can be endless. Being a higher being (or alien lol) you can look down and view everything and see all outcomes and you haven't intervened at all. Free choice.
Look just how many history books we have in existence and how many have unfortunately been detroyed. We like to know where we have come from. Could higher beings not possibly look at us with the same intrigue.
Also our galaxy as we know it, is measured according to our measurements. If superior beings came from another solar system, galaxy or dimension suppose if we were measured by their scale and were considered of minute proportions or of a different DNA structure. Could we be of any real and lasting importance in their concept of reality or would it be of more benefit to search for more beneficial and superiorly intelligent beings. Since we can't even seem to make it out of our own solar system and our life span is considered of short duration and/or little value.
Ok, i am not suggesting they are going to turn on us and destroy the human race (we are doing a pretty good job of that ourselves) but i suppose if you are at the top of the ladder, your always going to be looking down, i think anyway. If they are so advanced (and possibly not realising there are more intelligent beings out there), wouldn't make more sense to view us even from a distance and observe our behaviour.
Now i have a kid who loves conspiracy theories so this is where i have been suckered in. We dont know we haven't been visited by 'something'. The governments of the world are not going to willing hand out this information as 1 - suddenly religion can be questioned and religion = money and power.
2 - your going to have mass cult suicides going on.
3 - Another form of control.
4 - Could the governments really stop them from coming or if they did become hostile towards us, well what could we do? (being the inferior lot and all)
Could it be of what meaning are we then, if only based each in or on our own realities as we see it?
