Do you think the meteor that destroyed the dinosaurs brought human "seeds" to earth?

[desslok]

To me it seems suspicious that many, many forms of life evolved over hundreds of millions of years WITHOUT ANY trace of humanoids or primates. Then from space....BOOM....meteoroid wipes out most life on earth. And arising from the ashes comes man in only a tiny fraction of the history of life. So supposedly us "higher life forms" took hundreds of millions of years less to evolve than dinosaurs and reptiles etc? Nah...doesn't make sense to me unless the very "seeds" if you will of mammalian and human life were brought to earth by the meteor that eradicated the dinosaurs. Maybe that's why the aliens that visited the ancient egyptians/mayans etc came to visit, to see what happened to their seeds.

Life may indeed not have started on this planet. Not just Human life, but all life... but it's hard to know details. It's a possible, likely theory with supportive evidence and enough science to make it a viable theory. (Skip to around 5min mark if you want the really relevant part, but watch the whole thing for better understanding.)

No offense bro but it sounds like a fairytale to me. A lot of maybes and imagining. Interesting to think about/imagine/dream about though.

Well most of science is maybes and imagining. Plus recent descoveries point to the Chicxulub crater being part of what they think was a larger asteroid or planetoid that was broken up by a collision in space, and actually there were multiple impacts on earth. What if something broke up an inhabited planetoid and those fragments were what fell to earth. Perhaps the meteoroids brought much more than just Iridium.

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes.

Yeah, I was just messin with Arch cause of our discussion in the other thread.

The possibilities are endless. The questions are endless. There are numerous planets out there that can support life (in theory). http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...#post856484123

Is earth the only planet with life?
Which planet was the first to have life or has life always existed in some form or another?
Are there humans living on other planets?

[brendbro]

not sure if I've been living in a bubble (a more than likely possibility tbh) but when I was growing up I was obsessed and fascinated by the question of alien life, astronomy, space etc and all I remember hearing was denial, how there's no proof, they don't exist and it's all bullsh!t... needless to say the surge in recent years of what seems to be more people opening up to the infinite possibilities is extremely exciting

he's just a poser, i'm the real deal. Got the drinking problem to prove it.



possible hyperbole.

But then wouldnt other animals have evolved arould us to be capiable of greater things if poof we showed up.

But it could be possible.

Well, think of how many species of animals we have made extinct. And how much land we have cleared, destroying habitats of animals all over the world. Eradicating most of a species, and then keeping a few samples of each ina zoo for targeted breeding programs. Basically, animals don't have much chance of evolving with us around.

Well... species dying out is part of Evolution. Sure Man has made the most impressive dent ever, aside from the Meteor Hit and some other Global events. But yeah, evolution is all about the incapable species dying out. No matter the reason.

And the age of the Sentient Human Race is so small when compared to the whole of Evolution of Life, that it's hardly worth mentioning, really.

It's not unreasonable to imagine us killing each-others off through Nuclear Winter or something and Evolution of life starting fresh in some time frame after our extinction and everything keeps going like before, lol. We came, we did stuff, we died out, evolution continues without us, lol.

Or our technology develops to the point where we can genetically engineer ourselves to survive long term space travel, other worlds, to not be tied to this biosphere and our distance ancestors go on to explore and colonize the universe.... assuming no nuclear holocaust or we don't kill each other over which religion is the most peaceful.

Well that's kind of the point of this thread. Would the nuclear winter cause changes in the atmosphere that would make it possible for new species to rise from the ashes? Was it something that the meteor brought with it that allowed humans to develop? Was it the change it caused in atmospheric content? Altering the O2 % or CO2 or another gas? Or temperature change? Etc. Would a nuclear war cause different changes that would make way for new creatures? Or is it simply if you wiped the slate clean andd started over with the exact same atmosphere, temperature, etc, would new animals develop each time?

What if sometime instead of getting drafted into the army or whatever you got drafted to live on the space station. Pretty sure we have robots on Mars right now, how much longer till we're really out there?

It's a good way to lose dat dere LBM.

[mattypoole]

It makes sense to me that our evolution wasn't linear, it very much was a case of various increments of changes in our collective environments and competing species.

Just my 5 cents.

I've heard simulations theories about viruses, anyone else heard that?
