How did man come to be? Evolution, Creationism or Alienism? In one article

The origin of mankind is a clichéd topic. But whenever the subject is brought up, it never gets old. For up to now, mankind has not figured out its origins. People are not only interested, but they are also brave enough to explore. There is a constant effort to find and prove the origin of man. There are many versions of the origin of mankind and I have written several articles about it before. I have spoken to a friend about this topic several times recently, so I will discuss it again with you today.

The most dominant theory of human origins in academia at the moment is evolution, and this is what we learn in textbooks when we study. But the formulation of evolution is not accurate, as the word evolution can easily lead to conceptual misinformation. Evolutionary progress implies progress, giving the impression that all living things are moving to better and higher levels, but this is not the case. More often than not, organisms simply evolve in the direction that suits their existence, and not all organisms evolve into a perfect form.

It is more accurate to express this in terms of evolution than in terms of evolutionary theory, and there is no significant bias. There is a simple question. Is degeneration evolution? Degenerating an unwanted organ is a form of evolution. Progress or regression, good or bad is just an artificial definition. So it's better to use evolution and not let people be led subconsciously.

Well, back to the origins of man. The theory of evolution holds that humans evolved from hominids. This claim was first made in Darwin's book, The Origin of Species. The full title of On the Origin of Species is On the Origin of Species based on Natural Selection, namely the Preservation of Good Families in the Struggle for Survival. The book was written by Darwin after analyzing and studying a vast amount of information in various fields accumulated over two decades. It argues for the origin of species and the diversity and unity of the nature of living things in terms of variation, heredity, artificial selection, competition for survival, and adaptation, using natural selection as the main concept. (So the theory of evolution was not proposed by Darwin, nor does it say that life must evolve in a good direction.)

The evidence for evolution is the fossils found around the world from the earliest Chinese apes to the last Homo sapiens. These fossils all bear witness to the evolution of hominids to humans. However, the fossils found at different times are uneven and the fossils only show the process in a general way and cannot be fully convincing. It should be said that the evolution of humans is inferred from fossils. We are inferring for the sake of understanding. That is why the various objections to evolution stem from this.

So what do those who oppose evolution believe? There are actually basically two categories. The first is creationism, and the second is alienism. But one characteristic of these two categories is that each has its view, each is independent and not unified. There is a tendency for a hundred schools of thought, each with its proponents. However, it does not mean that just because there are many supporters, it is the truth. There just needs to be evidence to convince people. Yet, since the beginning, no one has been able to determine the origin of mankind. One by one, let's say.

You should hear more about creationism. In our mythology, man was created by Nuwa. One day Nuwa saw her reflection in the water and thought to herself, "If only there were little people like herself in heaven and earth. So she squeezed the little man out of the mud at the water's edge in her likeness and then blew into the little mud man, and the mud man became a living, breathing human being. Later, because she was slow and tired, Nuwa dipped her walking stick into the mud and water, and when she was an adult, she threw it off and went ashore. Some humans have become poor because they 'cut corners' and some have been disabled because the mud man was damaged by rain during the making process.

Of course, there are other stories about the origins of mankind in the vast expanse of China, but the story of the creation of man by Nuwa is one of the most widespread and popular. And this claim that man is made of earth is not unique in Chinese mythology. Most of the world's myths of human origins are made of clay. Although the protagonists and plots of these fairy tales are not quite the same, how the earth made man is the same. One wonders how nations and races were 'united' in an age when the news was not shared. The two most famous myths are that God created Adam and Eve and that Prometheus created man.

The Bible is very widely spread. The origin of mankind is described in it as a clay man made of clay by God when he created everything on earth. With one breath, the clay man became the first man, Adam, and then God extracted Adam's ribs and created the first woman, Eve. God arranged for them to live happily and carefree in the Garden of Eden, an earthly paradise. Tempted by the serpent, Eve ate the forbidden fruit, which God had forbidden. Adam and Eve were then driven out of the Garden of Eden, after which mankind was born and life became difficult.

In Greek mythology, it was Prometheus and Athena who worked together to create mankind. Prometheus first made man out of clay and extracted good and evil from the hearts of animals and put them into the clay man. Athena blew her soul and divine breath into the clay man. But Prometheus' contribution was even greater, for he also taught mankind various aspects of knowledge and even stole fire for them.

There are other theories of divine creation, none as widespread as the idea that man was made of earth, so I won't mention them here. But this does not detract from the place of creationism in people's minds. There are few people who support creationism as the true origin of man, even more than evolution.

The next point I would like to make is that it has not been around long, but has begun to form the alien theory on a supporting scale. The alien theory is just a broad scope under which it can be roughly divided into the theory that humans are alien genetic products and the theory that humans are alien immigrants.

The most famous source of the alien gene product theory is the Earth Chronicles, which describes the Hanunachians on the planet Nibiru as having transformed and led humanity. The excavated Sumerian King List is divided into two parts by the Great Flood. The emperors who ruled for tens of thousands of years between the Great Flood are the wonders of Hanna.

The theory that humans are extraterrestrial immigrants is mentioned in the Hay Owa prophecy. All humans on Earth were alien immigrants who went through several destruction and regeneration on Earth before eventually becoming the humans they are now.

The alien theory was first introduced from abroad, but it has only been mentioned a lot in China in recent years. But the arguments are many and scattered, and there is no way to understand them all at once. But it is novel and appeals to all of us.

The argument that aliens created humans is more about aliens helping or mixing with humans in their development. The Anunnaki from Nibiru would be fine. One of the reasons why this argument is plausible is that it can be substantiated in our country. Suppose that some fairy tales are less outlandish and magical when we replace the gods in the fairy tales with aliens. The Chinese book Huainanzi once recorded how the Yellow Emperor and several other gods created man. We know that the Yellow Emperor was a man. How could he create a man? Also, some ancient books have described unidentified flying objects. Combined with this, it seems a bit interesting.

There are too many theories about the origin of man, whichever one is proven to be true. Or maybe it's something people will never find out about. If humans are virtual, then it's just a piece of code, a program. Then everything is a given, and humans can't break through that barrier and learn the truth.

However, this does not mean that mankind will give up the search for the truth. Whether it is the origin of mankind, the exploration of the universe, or the truth of the world, mankind will do its best to reveal the truth. The search for truth is engraved into our genes. It is this search that makes humans different from animals. And it is what keeps us moving forward to achieve the pinnacle of humanity!
