Controversial theories of human origins,
mixed with a measure of coincidence,
and sprinkled with prose and fantasy.
Is DNA really a recent discovery?
Now that they claim that the human genome project is completed, it may take a while for the “smoke to clear”, or as some conspiracy theorists may suggest, “for the evidence to be hidden”.
It seems that there are some few genes in our code that don’t appear in anything else on the planet. Some are present in bacteria. One report says 223, the other says 40. Either way, if those genes did not evolve on earth, how did they get in us? The implications are that evolution is only partly responsible for our apparent intelligience and domination of this little rock. One of the solutions presented are that we may have been changed by bacterial infection. Another is that this proof that has been anticipated by Intelligient Designers that “God” created us by modifying our genes.
IMHO I have a problem with both assumptions: If bacterial infection could change our genetic structure, then we could not possibly be safe from this change repeatedly in short periods of time. We would all be mutants, hardly similar to our own family members.
On the other hand, if an omnipotent “God” created us, there would be no need to “modify” anything earthly to perform the feat.
My real question is this: Is there any natural way that we could have received these genes? How about a method that doesn’t depend on either cross-bacterial osmosis or god?
I think it is no accident that the ancient symbol of the medical profession (the Cadeuseus) is strangely reminiscent of an only recently discovered strand of DNA. I also think it is no accident that the human race was subjected to numerous genetic bottlenecks, which evidence looks suspiciously like a breeding program. Why did the hardier, stronger Neandertal man go extinct while modern man flourished at a time when no other species were going extinct? How can we have exactly the same mental capacity today as we did 30,000 years ago, but have only decided to use it for something other than food gathering over the last 4,000 years?

Thanks Tom,
I didn’t know that, however I am not the artist so I will look for a better image.

Er zit nog een fout in. Een DNA-helix is altijd rechts draaiend, maar de afbeelding bij deze tekst laat een links draaiende DNA-helix zien.
There is still an error. A DNA helix is always running right, but the image in this text shows a left-handed DNA helix-see.

Considering it is likely that differences in genetics make for different blood types and not the other way around, I think that the differing blood types in concert with the different genetic haplogroups can be used as clues to unravel the question of which changes in our genes may have been due to natural selection, and which may have been direct tampering or even breeding by the “gods” in times past. Remember, the appearance of humans overall do not lend one to believe we were designed to be prey, nor predators. we have little hair, lack in strength, and are generally pretty delicate, compared to those we were supposed to evolve from (almost aquatic). So, I would guess a breeding program (genetic bottleneck) would have made us capable of higher thought at the expense of our survival characteristics. Not sure what natural selection scenario would lend itself to that…

Do you think there is anything to the theories about rh– blood types? Possibly differences in genetics? Some of the things I have read sound pretty scary!

Amazing. I’m only just learning about all of the history involved in AAT and learning the various theories — could you quote some specific resources for additional research? Anything that you’d specifically recommend?

Enki and Enlil are gods of the Sumerian pantheon. They are probably THE two most active gods when it comes to interacting with humans. Enki is the Sumerian name for the Greek Titan Prometheus, the Serpent in the Garden, and the christian Satan, while Enlil goes on to be called Zeus, and the Hebrew god YWH. They are brothers, one born to rule the earth and the other to rule the skies. One was very kind to humans (even donated his own DNA) and gave us fire and technology to help us to progress, but the other insisted in using us and being worshipped by us. Can you guess which is which?

This is strikingly similar to the argument I have with friends when anyone will listen to me rant. I’ve always maintained that it would be impossible for us to be on the planet for millenia and then suddenly, POOF! Intelligence and cognizance. I think we’ve been recently manipulated again, which is part of the reason we went from using oil burning lamps to using supercomputers in a single century (ok, century and a half, but the idea is still valid.) Not only have we most likely recently been tampered with, we are also most likely gaining from extraterrestrial technologies.
I do have a question, though. I’m not familiar with Enki or Enlil, though I enjoyed reading your writings concerning them. Where did those references originate from?

Great link Sid,
It seems that it has been quite easy to mistake the relationship between these two symbols with apparently somewhat different meanings.
After digging into the link you provide, I think the Cadeuseus is totally appropriate for a military medic operation, due to the connotations of death and such. However, there are still ties with the tree of life in the garden of Eden, and the association with persuasion and evil which makes me think the story of Enki/Enlil and Prometheus are still associated with both symbols (hence with the technology of DNA manipulation) in some way.

Hello: The ancient symbol for the medical profession is the Rod of Asclepius, not the Caduceus, which usage is an American Army mistake only about 100 years old. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_of_Asclepius
