So close to knowing the answer!

[RESiNATE]

See, I've had this theory for years, and I feel that I am close to the truth...but not quite

I reckon that we are the product of an experiment. And we were created by us.
Well, not us, but our forebears.
And recently (over the last few years), I have been learning stuff that kinda 'reinforces' this theory; genetic engineering, the code of life, evolution.
I mean, the code of life, is in binary - are we a super-computer designed by our forebears?
What if we are decendents of apes, but the reason that there is no missing link, is because the apes were genetically modified to speed up the evolutionary process?
Were the dinosaurs wiped out as a result of a regeneration program intiaited by our creators?

But then, and here's the real wacky bit: to what ends?

So many questions...and so close to the answers...

What if our existence is a loop?

Have you noticed how things are speeding up? Technology advancements, human development, Formula 1 cars!
Time is speeding up too!

Are we nearing the end of our cycle?

Something to do with the earth being a computer run by mice to find the question to the answer forty two?

[HighBuddy]

that is some serious thinking, i dont imagine its true... but wow, im impressed

[Euphoric]

i think that the anceint mayans believed in the cycle of civilization. that kind of goes with your idea reinstate personally, it sounds logical...

[UserName AlphaNiner]

Damn, I have too many theories on creation. It's almost 2am. I'll get back to this tomorrow. :P

[Button Basher]

I'm not sure I understand entirely but i'll come back and reconsider after a joint or two.
I'm really interested though, can't you try and explain a little better?

[zarathustra]

The fact of the matter is that we have no idea what happened before the priomordial soup. If a grand civilization existed after that, it would surely have left some relic. Had such a civilization existed before then there is a possibility that they either accidentally or purposefully reset the earth. Maybe in a few hundred years, we'll realize that the earth is fucked again and the last of the survivors will make the sacrifice to reset the earth again so that some life might exist in the future. For all we know, the previous civilization had the scientific knowhow to ensure that a species would spawn and dominate that was at least similar to their own. Perhaps what we call pure now would have been deadly poison to them, while they thrived with what we call poison in the air. Just because we only know of carbon based lifeforms doesn't mean we didn't have argon ancestors.

[RESiNATE]

That's it, you see!

The first thing that we have to do, when addressing this theory, is to stop thinking in human-terms. Like you said, zarathustra (something that hadn't crossed my mind), the Earth could have been 'reset' by our ancestors.

There is a basic need in all of us to understand.
I think that we are advancing so much, that we are running out of things to understand - if there is nothing for us to understand, then what is the point of our existence?

Like I say, I have a million little bits of ideas and theories, but can't seem to gel them all into a decent arguement.
The question to Life, the Universe, and Everything is very simple:
What happens if...?
It is the question that drives us all, and can be attributed to every single decision that we make.

I dunno.
I'm not religious, but if you remove the 'God' aspect from Genesis, then the idea is sound (apart from the creation of the universe etc, I believe that all of that was ther to begin with)
Darwin's theory is also sound, except for the 'missing link' (I have a major problem with any theory if all the facts aren't present)

So, think of it like this:

A race of beings inhabits Mars, but due to the gravitational pull of the Sun, their world will shortly become uninhabitable. They gotta find another home.
They discover that Earth would be acceptable, except that the atmosphere and geography of the planet is less than desirable. What do they do?
Maybe (like in "Star Trek - Search For Spock") they developed a way of redesigning the planet to make it habitable for them (us).
In so doing, they wipe out the previous inhabitants of this world (dinosaurs etc) and start the chain of events that will make this world livable.

I mean, they have already found strang tunnel like structures and other stuff that are clearly NOT natural formations on Mars (man-made?)

And if you read the Bible as a history book, and try to ignore the religious intent, then maybe the answers have been there all along?

Your thoughts
Res...

[BOgart.bitch]

i always saw life as a huge loop... just a circle that keeps spinning and spinning and the moment you think we are almost burnt out, is the moment you spin around one more time.

im not sure what started the circle.. but we build ourselves up, destroy ourselves, and then new founders build us back up again.

or something. yeah.. havent really thought about it as in depth as others lol

[Euphoric]

HmMm..the tunnels were full of modern day stuff..VCRS, TVs and the ilk. some say its proof of secret soceities. then again others think its proof that there is another civilization beneath our feet. but whos to say they werent relics of some ancient tunnel system re-used for another purpose? its a mystery!

ooh and as far as having our past civilization's relics...could be linked the the whole Antlantis stuff. ever seen the postman? just because the old technology is there doesnt mean itll work again...
all in all i think were all throwing around some good ideas here follks
