When God created Adam, were there other man people on the earth? Maybe God was pleased at the evolutionary progression of humanoids at the point of Adam?

Hitchhikers is a tad cynical for me, but I always enjoy it anyway. The books are solid. The older brit version, 80s? Is way more upbeat and zany. So that's a ++

I actually found Dune to make me feel better idk why. It's strange. Maybe it was how ruthlessly Paul Atraedies dealt with his enemies? It always fills me with joy to watch house Harkkonen melt, essentially against witchcraft.

That's what I'm thinking. Life on earth. Asteroid hits, Now there is intelligent life on earth.

Thats a cool idea that it was like, humanity was on earth already and it was our merit that made someone take notice haha I like the idea that aliens or god were like, hey check out these neanderatls, "lets give them the ability to create art"... and that's what made us!

Funfact some people think neandertals died out becuase they couldnt create art, and becuase we could we were able to instruct future generations via cave painting, how to kill mammoth and shit, while neanderatals would have to rely on verbal communcation, and were less creative with their hunting and tool buiding.

Most science folk agree human life on earth evolved from Africa. . . pretty suspect there is a mystery crater with a thick ass river that leads directly to the first known empire and civilization IMO lol

Maybe that's where the finger of god touched us [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You could imagine that it's two scientists who are making a bet "will they all kill each other or will they be good moral creatures" and one of the scientists keeps trying to get us to sell our souls to him so he'll win.

Or that there is a planet somewhere that is just shooting asteroids with DNA on them all over the galaxy (if I was in charge of humans I'd be doing that right now. Moon? Dna. Jupiter? DNA. Mars? DNA. Venus DNA, whatever, just spread that shit everywhere and see what happens lol)

Or, that it's just random, and a planet with DNA on it blew up once and mixed with another planet that blew up and then that asteroid hit earth.

Or who knows. But It'd take a very convincing argument that that lake is not the origin of our species existence on earth as far as I am concerned.

Imagine if you will *puffs cigeret like Rod Serling* A time tens of thousands of years ago.

In Egyptian mythology the serpent, sometimes called the Uraeus, is a very divine symbol and often a protector during travel. Here one protects the sun god as it passes through the night on its solar barge.

One day one adventurous trader from the teeming cities of the Nile decides to set out towards the undiscovered country. Up north to Mesopotamia, where wild nomadic tribes have begun to settle, there he imagines he could bring and sell the wonders he has been accustomed to to the natives at a high profit.

He's a narcissistic fellow who is proud of his city and its religious cultures and heritage, so he looks to adorn himself with the grandest imagery he can bring along with him. Bracelets and cowls with the images of his gods, and of course Egypt's most powerful icon of supreme power and protection, the uraeus.

He travels north along the coast and up to an area of bounty. A newly settled people who are welcoming and full of joy and song. They invite him into their village and he welcomes them with stories of his own.

He shows them his adornments and offers them stones and carvings in trade for food and shelter, jewelry and clothing from the most skilled artisans that Egypt has to offer. These Mesopotamians are just learning how to farm, they live in huts and tents with little to no clothing at all, and he is traveling with gold and metal adorned in smooth to the touch tapestries.

The traveler is loved by the new people and he trades to the most prominent members of the tribes all manor of new and wonderous trinkets, makeup, and ways to adorn themselves.

And as the sun sets all things come to an end, and the traveler must continue on his way further to the east, for he is an adventurer at hart.

Off into the distance he slither's away. Leaving the people that would one day be known as the people of Judea, with little knowledge of how to create the things that they now lust for, except for a story about how that traveler ruined everything.
