I want to start by saying I believe in most of science but I find much of science incomplete.
I believe our universe started with a flash of singularity, but I don't think the beginning of our universe is the begining of everything.
I am aware that all particles to life can be found in the dust of an exploded star.
Most importantly for us, I believe almost all of evolution on earth is based on truth.
However, I have an issue with the whole monkey to man part of evolution.
My concerns:
#1 I haven't figured out why a monkey would lose it's primary deffense mechanism (jaw strength) as well as lose a large portion of its muscle mass, in favour of a larger brain, in an uncivalized world.
#2 Most of evolution is simply species gradually adapting to a changing environment over an extanded period of time. Monkey to man happen quite rapidly without any known environmental reasons.
#3 Why did some monkeys have to adapt where others didn't?
Evolution may have needed some help.
The missing link could play a huge role in understanding these concerns.
Now, take a ride on probably the most absurd possibility you've ever heard!
Suppose aliens do exist, and that they visited earth a long time ago, before man came to be.
Aliens played a huge role in our evolution as they are the missing link.
Primitive man had many perceptions of these 'creators of man' and many stories were told.
All ancient religions are based on true events, but they are misinterpretations and misunderstandings of what primitive man perceived!
Religious stories begining only reffers to the begining of Man, and has nothing to do with the actual begining. Man would have asked the 'creators' where it all began. Many different man probably received many different versions of the begining, and primitive man could have very well had mis perceptions about that too! Religion doesn't have to contradict science, as long as we can perceive things differently, and not take primitave mans perceptions of the truth to heart!
So in this fantastic tale, Much of science would still be true, and still be incomplete. (good for science)
The missing link would finally be known. (good for science)
Althouth the missing link is ET, lol. (good for fantasy).
Religion is actually based on true events. (good for religion).
But those events are all misunderstandings of our ancestors perceptions. (not good for fanatics, but can be good for 'loose' believers)
Science can go on to try and explain the rest of everything without contradiction. (good for science)
I love this possiblity, probably because it does take a little bit from everything and it is so absurd.
I believe this, along with many other possible explanations to be possible, but I don't believe so strongly in any one thing, that I wouldn't be able to change my beliefs with new knowledge.
Just opening more and more doors
Hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed thinking out of the box.
