A Star Trek Richard Dawkins Theory I Subscribe to (Kinda)

Long ago in a galaxy far far away a very advanced race of highly developed aliens came to earth. It was a desolate place. Just land and water. Lifeless. Useless. Barren. It was what in Star Trek terms was called a Class M planet. Suitable for sustaining life. The aliens may have visited this place before. There was no record of that visit if they had. But there were evidences of that visit. It may have been that thru some great cataclysm there had been total destruction of all living beings on the earth and that it had laid barren for eons.

Because these aliens were so highly developed they seeded the earth with gene pools of living species. These were all placed at the beginning in a single site where perhaps it would be possible to allow them to interact with one another. These species were transported here by methods we do not yet understand. If you are a fan of Star Trek Next Generation and some of the programs where the Enterprise was invested in the process of seeding planets you might get a grasp of this. These being had the ability to by command to whatever super computers they had developed that at the sound of their voice they could “Make it So”.

So, with simply instructions these superior beings caused the sun and moon to move into proper orbit, the dry land and seas to divide into proper areas, the land to become populated with plants, animals and fish and then at some point in the process the earth was seeded with humankind. It is suspected that these humans were seeded with the characteristics and features in some ways of the superior race. It is and was the habit of those beings to when they placed seeded beings on a planet to have those beings resemble themselves.

If you think this is all the ramblings of some mad man named Gene, it is in one part the plot of a Star Trek Next Generation episode called: The Chase

It seemed to answer the question of how humans came to be on earth and why aliens all look so much alike.

There were other episodes of this kind where planet renewal was a theme.

It must have taken root in Francis Crick's skull because he now believes in the theory of Pansperma which is at the root of the Star Trek Next Generation episode, Or at least proposes that it could have happened.

And one of the most famous atheist scientists, Richard Dawkins postulates that the theory could be true. Dawkins who wrote The God Delusion seems to think that this theory of Panspermia could be true, and even may be true to explain the origin of life on earth.

When pressed to explain where the superior race of aliens came from, he deferred. How it all began. He didn't know.

I would have asked him that these aliens to earth may have been so superior, so advanced, so extraordinary that they might have been able to somehow by their superior intelligence live outside of our dimensions of time and space, and might well have had the capacity to simply speak the word that caused all we see around us in all of the universe to come into being. (There's a movie to that effect out right now) that would be a logical extension of this scenario, wouldn't it? Who said they had to live in time and space as we do. I watched all the star trek next gen episodes, all 172 of them, and that possibility that there are beings who live outside of our understanding was accepted. Remember Q? Or the entity at the edge of space? Picard was running into these beings all the time.

All this by good writers. And now people of science are adapting these ideas.

Wait, I have heard this story before. A being who lives outside of time and space, creating time and populating space with worlds by the power of their words. All in an instant. All without anything but the ability to do so. Then filling some of those worlds, earth for sure, with beings and life forms of all kinds. Doing geographic manipulation to make the world acceptable to these beings.

I read about it in a very old book. Maybe you did too. I embrace the concept of a sort of Panspermia population of the earth. I think we may have sold these beings short.

If you want to read one of the earliest accounts of this event that follows exactly the panspermia theory and the plot of Star Trek, read this.

And, I have it on good account from the being that did all this, that if you don't accept this theory, you are a fool.
