| Is Earth the only site of life in the entire universe? The question of "Where did we come from?" has mystified us from the dawn of history; of course, we know how we were born, but what we really want to know is how we, as human beings, actually came to be on this planet. Did we evolve here? Were we created here? Were we put here? Is Earth a prison planet?
Currently there are two accepted explanations for the origin of man:
Science (which adheres to the theory of evolution) believes that humans are the products of natural selection - to them, life on this planet began as a single cell and became more complex by necessity, and/or, through sheer chance; in scientific terms - evolution.
Creation (which adheres to the theory that man was intentionally and/or divinely created here). Creationists believe that something cannot manifest from nothingness, and are often confused with religions, but historians agree that the origin of Creationism predates any religion; in fact it existed when our ancestors were still living in caves.
While both are correct, they are clinging tenuously to the fringe of truth.
If we didn't suddenly appear on Earth as a result of evolution, or, an all powerful Creator didn't make us go poof and appear, where else could we have come from? Does other life exist in the universe? Who and what are UFOs? Why are they so interested in humans on Earth? The answers are ... complicated.
