Believe me, I have been a student of astronomy since I looked at Saturn through a neighbors telescope at 10. That was 60 years ago in that time span our knowledge of the solar system and interstellar space has grown exponentially!
The Universe is Teeming with Life
We are at a watershed moment in human history. In a very real sense we are standing at the threshold of a complete transformation in the way we view ourselves and the universe we live in.
Ironically, few people seem to grasp that fact. Consider that in the last five years we have learned that water exists on several moons and planets in our solar system; that researchers have discovered organic molecules on two meteorites; that molecular oxygen has been found in the vast reaches of interstellar space.
The implications of the above are staggering in terms of revolutionizing our view of ourselves and the true nature of the cosmos. We have really just begun the process of scientific verification within the last 50 years.
The Kepler telescope has located Earth-like planets in habitable zones, another amazing discovery. But, in fact, these realities were anticipated by many scientists back in the 1960s and 70’s including microbiologist Francis Crick, biochemist Leslie Orgel and astronomer Carl Sagan.
Space scientists have not had any doubt about life, and even civilizations, existing in other solar systems for quite some time. But there certainty was based upon statistical probabilities and not hard- evidence. The recent findings represent a giant step forward since we no longer have to speculate and/or guess about these things, now we know.
We are in possession of the facts. Where there is water there is life.
Moreover, finding organic molecules on meteorites and molecular oxygen in outer space -- the kind in our atmosphere -- means the ingredients of life, as we know them, are present out there.
The first three chapters of this volume examine the major discoveries made by space researchers in recent years, beyond that what the implications are for humanity and our future.
One of the goals of this series is to progressively integrate what has heretofore been presented as two separate fields. That is the ancient astronaut thesis -- now upgraded to the science-based Cosmic Ancestry 2 theory -- and the modern UFO phenomenon into a unified whole.
The former has usually been confined to materials taken from Earth’s earliest civilizations i.e., ancient Sumer and Egypt. For example the Ennuma Elish describes the Annunaki, the gods, as ´those who from heaven to earth came´. The text tells of how these advanced beings, or extraterrestrials, brought the knowledge and tools of civilization with them to give to the Sumerians.
The ancient astronaut thesis has generally been confined to the era from the remotest antiquity, ascribed to texts and artifacts until about the birth of Christ. By contrast, the modern UFO era began in 1940 with the Foo Fighters, the ‘Battle over Los Angeles’ and the events at Roswell; and peaked with the mass sighting above Washington, DC in 1952, but it continues to the present as well.
In fact, a careful investigation shows that this demarcation is artificial and arbitrary. It is odd that researchers, and fans of the ancient astronaut camp, seldom refer to the modern UFO phenomenon; and researchers of the latter seldom pay much attention to the ancient enigmas.
However, in reality, the UFO-extraterrestrial phenomenon actually forms a continuum of experience throughout human history. It is this author´s view that we are not going to really come to grips with, or understand it fully, until we integrate the past and present.
For example, while the Sumerians gave a very straightforward account of who the Annunaki were, they never addressed how they got to the earth. Nor did they ever describe any spacecraft or other technical machinery. That may seem like an indictment against the ancient astronaut thesis, but is it?
In 1947, when pilot Kenneth Arnold witnessed several silvery, metallic, disc-shaped objects flying in formation (UFOs) the reporter described them as ¨flying saucers¨. Did he expect modern readers to take that description literally?
Of course not, he knew his readers were well-aware of aircraft, and even the possibility of there being interplanetary spacecraft, which science fiction authors had brought to life in the human imagination. Now, we have to put ourselves in the disadvantageous position of our remote ancestors.
In fact, they had no experience of flying machines or other advanced technologies of any kind. When Moses tried to explain that something very strange, and terrifying, happened on Mount Sinai in front of the whole tribe of Israel all he could do to describe it was to evoke thunder and lightning.
In fact, throughout the Old Testament the scribes could only write that these unidentifiable objects looked like ¨pillars of cloud by day¨ and ¨pillars of fire¨ by night. But that was not their only description they were also described as thick clouds, platforms, fiery chariots- so clouds was obviously a metaphor, the description was never meant to be taken as natural clouds.
No, Kenneth Arnold was not witness to kitchen plates flying through the air, and people who take ¨flying saucers¨ literally, in the future, will be in error completely. (The author is suggesting we are like those hypothetical future people.)
The Sumerians did not mean ´gods´ the way we define the term today as invisible, mythical beings. The Annunaki were real, flesh and blood beings that descended from space and lived with them.
Similarly, when the prophets, Ezekiel and Moses, described the machines that descended from the heavens as the burning bush or a wheel-within-a-wheel, we cannot be so naïve as to take those terms literally. The same goes for their using the description of the entity they encountered whom they called the Lord.
In fact, Ezekiel plainly describes the being he observed within the wheel, sitting in the craft in a (throne), or high-backed chair as, ¨like a man¨, he was not the invisible Creator of the Universe, he was a human-like being, and those are not the author´s words, but Ezekiel’s. (EZ: 1-26)
Decoding the Bible is not like deciphering some complicated, encrypted numeric code. It is relatively simple and straightforward. The same is true of the Sumerian texts, which are even more direct. The Egyptians also said that there was a remote era, the Zep Tepi, in which ¨gods¨ and a group they called ¨the watchers¨ lived with human beings.
Expecting that our ancient ancestors could describe for us, in modern-day technical terms, how these extraterrestrials arrived on Earth in spaceships -- and bioengineered humanity using their DNA which they fused with that of another primate -- is both naïve and silly.
But, in truth, how much clearer does it have to get before scholars and scientists stop playing games pretending that our ancestors were silly, overly imaginative and/or just plain stupid?
We made man in Our image and likeness (GN I:28)¨, that statement is blunt and to the point. Why are our scientists and academics expecting a 2,000 BC rendition of the Genome Project before they will accept the obvious intent of the ancient texts?
The Annunaki of the Ennma Elish, and the Elohim of Genesis, were extraterrestrials.
The clouds, platforms, pillar of fire and wheel-within-a-wheel were metaphors for spacecraft, plain and simple. Jesus even said that he was from another planet, “I am not of this world”. At this point the author will suggest that any other interpretation is a willful, calculated distortion that amounts to intentional disinformation.
This series, however, is not a rehash of the ancient astronaut material, which this and other authors have presented in numerous volumes. The Genesis Race is the full presentation, and elucidation of the scientifically based theory of Directed Panspermia, the author prefers to call, Cosmic Ancestry 2.
Where it departs from the original theory, presented by Sir Francis Crick and Leslie Orgel, is that it considers the anomalies of history as evidence that extraterrestrials were involved in human history. Crick and Orgel never made that connection, so they did not present it as part of Directed Panspermia.
The original theory posits that an advanced civilization loaded microorganisms into a spaceship, which was dispatched to Earth. Crick and Orgel were not sci-fi authors weaving an imaginative tale of fiction for science fiction buffs.
They were highly respected scientists who explained that since Darwinism failed to account for how life originated on our planet, science needed to come up with a credible, new theory. (Do not be fooled by physicist’s who claim to explain everything, they are only talking about matter and energy, not biological origin of life!)
They had the advantage of possessing state of the art genetic and biochemical knowledge, since Crick won the Nobel Prize for having discovered the shape of the DNA molecule in 1950, and Orgel came up with the RNA-world theory. That is why the original thesis was largely based upon their critique of Darwin first, and then the many arguments centered on the mysteries of why DNA was so uniform and how it emerged so quickly on Earth.
The disadvantages that they had then, versus today, were that: the Murchison meteorite had not gone through extensive DNA analysis at that time. 1) The technology of bioengineering was in an embryonic stage 2) NASA was a long way from discovering water on the moon and Mars and 3) identifying the number of Earth-like planets in the habitable zone, as the Kepler Mission has done, also did not occur until 2010.
Now we are 50 years, and several orders of magnitude, in terms of hard evidence, from where Crick and Orgel stood when they were formulating their theory.
In the first two chapters we examine the incontrovertible proof that water exists on exoplanets and several meteorites have been found to contain organic molecules.
Though this does not prove the theory of Cosmic Ancestry, it does provide evidence that life exists out there.
That is very strong support for the precursor theory (Undirected) Panspermia, which posits that the seeds of life (microorganisms) came to Earth by hitchhiking on cosmic objects.
In fact, we turned the corner in 2010 and are now standing on the threshold of fully realizing that the cosmos is an open-system. Life exists elsewhere in the Universe and is transferred throughout the cosmos in various ways and that is being verified as the author writes this.
The present volume also presents a variety of startling new evidence including the DNA lab results that show the Starchild Skull is that of an alien race.
One of the issues, that some people raise, is to ask why the extraterrestrials play cat and mouse with us. Since they showed themselves to our ancestors, why don´t they simply land on the White House lawn and hold a press conference?
It is a logical and fair question. In fact, they did just about did do that in 1952 when they buzzed Washington DC for two consecutive weekends. In fact many in Congress witnessed it as did the numerous highly qualified military personnel.
First, they revealed themselves when our ancestors were basically at a Stone Age level. People had no grasp of what they were seeing, who the ETs really were. In fact their technologies seemed miraculous to our predecessors. As the reports they handed down reveal, they had no clue as to who and what these beings were exactly, and they understood nothing of their technologies at all.
Such would not be the case now. A sudden appearance in our skies today would (and has) provoked an all-out military alert, reaction and the scrambling of interceptors. No nation would be able to correctly interpret a mass intervention-event with any certainty.
That is made clear in the Bible when the’ angels’ use some kind of advanced weaponry to blind the attackers in Sodom. Then on the following morning they deployed devices that wiped the city out instantly, while blinding Lot’s wife, all of which sounds very much like thermonuclear weapons were used.
Though the author makes the case for extraterrestrial visitation, intervention and even culture bearing, he also has come to agree with physicist Stephen Hawking who has raised concerns about present contact. The irony for us today is that we would comprehend that any visiting ETs were from an advanced, technological civilization.
That would be a blessing and a curse. We might be to them as monkeys are to us in terms of intelligence, technology and social organization. Could we handle that stark reality? In an instant all of our efforts and knowledge would seem puny and unimportant and our human egos would likewise shrink to near zero.
In addition, our own recent history has shown that primitive cultures do not do well when they come into contact with an advancing civilization. Those that demand and/or yearn for alien contact are being naïve. Be careful what you wish for. It could well spell our doom. This may sound odd coming from an author who has been writing about this topic for decades.
However, getting to the truth, no matter what it is, is the point of this researcher’s work. I make no assumptions about whether a mass revelation is imminent or what might happen if it occurred. On the other hand, if it happened it could well be a wonderful, revelatory event that could change the world for the better.
