And it remains a possibility in my own mind for these reasons: The point of fact is that humans suddenly appeared from what seemed like out of nowhere with qualities not found before they arrived. If humans evolved like all other things on this planet, there would not be a question about why the sudden arrival. But because we didn't evolve like everything else here, there had to be intervention, there had to be something or someone who intervened.-Sudden human appearance is the key to my thinking also. If you accept evolution, and you seem to, the 'intervention' (without saying who or what intervened) is in several areas. About 20 million years ago changes in vertebrae in the lumbar region of a monkey began to assume changes for upright posture.Bipedal walking preceded brain growth. It freed hands to develop more dexterity. It is not clear whether brain plasticity then pushed growth of the brain as hominids learned new skills with their better bodies and hands, but that seems a likely theory. -Would aliens work first with the monkeys? Bring their own monkeys for mating? The evolution story without aliens looks logical. And then your approach has the problem of DNA. We can trace homologous DNA and make DNA trees and time tables. they fit a non-alien pattern. There are four known Homo tribes with some cross mating. All the DNA fits, nothing alien.-I am left with intervention by a universal consciousness, most likely with pre-planning in early genome development back at the single cell stage. I think a UI is a necessary being, who wanted to develop consciousness at our level. -And for consideration of Heaven and what it might be like, in death it is just a joining of our indiviudal consciousness with the UI. I cannot imagine that entails beautifl clouds and vistas.
