The Cosmic Mystery: Are We Alien Offspring?

The subject of deity is a tricky one. There are a plethora of possibilities when it comes to the existential and the ethereal, and as mankind constantly clings to discover its humble beginnings, the seeking of a higher power or deity always comes to mind and continuously remains in play. People cling to their beliefs and rightfully so, but that makes it hard for different thoughts on the subject to take root or to truly take on some form that could garner any accreditation.

God is a mystery, and it would seem and could be argued that as a human species, we almost prefer him, her, or it as a mystery if solely for it to benefit our own ideologies and reinforce our own callings. But the mystery of God is as much about our history and origin as it is trying to find the answers to who and what God is. In finding those answers, we could quite possibly need to look to the sky and the stars and space.

If you were to really look at it—this world and existence that we call life—you would have to come to the conclusion that something is amiss. Nature seems to live off itself, thrive with the give and take, the cause and effect. You can see how all other living species somehow contribute to the overall environment and ecosystem. The weak of the species either adapt and survive or die and replenish the earth in a different form or method.

When it comes to habitat, other species use their surroundings and environment for their immediate necessities. Exempt from this are human beings. Humans seem to be the only species on this planet that does not give back, does not fully contribute, but rather depletes. The case could very well be made that a planet that is built for reciprocity would naturally birth or spawn living organisms that function in very much the same capacity, especially those that are supposed to be the most sentient. However, humans do not.

If humanity is the only species that causes depletion and all other species use or contribute to the ecosystem, then just maybe the former is not originally a part of the latter, but rather a planted organism, placed within the confines of an environment that is more suited to its needs than not. Maybe humanity’s origin lies with something else—gods, maybe—but more likely scientists, extraterrestrial scientists to be more exact, intelligent life that decidedly used this planet, Earth, as grounds for genetic engineering and whatever else that may be known, detected, or speculated.

To entertain the idea that the human species does not originate on Earth is not a new thought. Rather, it is steeped in the historical chronicles of biblical stories, some Christian and Judaic (and more). The idea of visiting aliens delivering human beings, depositing us in some form on this planet, is not that foreign of an idea, nor is it new-age. In the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, which is also part of the Judaic Torah, Ezekiel is visited by a kind of ‘chariot,’ and its description by many scholars has led some of the brightest and best minds to at least accept the possibility that what the writer of the ancient book experienced was an alien visitation.

The construction of Stonehenge, the pyramids, the tales of Atlantis, and all the marvels that exist in the world must practically stem from something of substance. Based on earlier writings of the ancients, it was common for the so-called ‘sky-gods’ to visit, thus the stories of old that came to form the religious folklore that was later tailored around doctrine and dogma.

What we are left with as human beings is the same notions and ideas that we have always had—that there’s something larger and bigger at work that we derive from. We're seeing more and more that human beings are not only looking to the skies for the answers but have also begun to bring those same stars, skies, and space down to the earth in an almost visible, palpable, and tangible exchange of understanding to give some sort of meaning to this thing called life.
