@Joseph: Yes, in a nutshell. Now we just need for Tom Cruise and John Travolta to adopt opposing ideologies about the genesis of the human race and start waging "holy" wars against one another via badly acted movies. @Dara: Thanks for addressing me by name. It made me feel special. Let me just say that I am appalled that someone whose grammar, punctuation and spelling is as atrocious as yours made it into college. I can only hope that you take the advice of some of the others on this forum and start editing and proofing your own posts before submitting them.  

All of that being said, your question has an interesting premise, which I don't think I properly addressed earlier.  The idea that we were placed here by aliens seems almost plausible if you forget all of this "digging for gold" horseshit.  Humans have been sequestering members of our own society for years and watching them for banal entertainment. (Jersey Shore, anyone?)  So, it doesn't seem that far-fetched to imagine that a group of aliens found our little backwater shithole of a planet and decided to fabricate life upon it.  Certainly makes more sense than christianity!  However, there are many facts to consider here, not the least of which is that if we were engineered by ANYONE, be it an imaginary deity or super-advanced aliens, one would think that they could have at least given us some true guidance once we "came of age" so to speak.  But...nothing.  Nada.  No evidence for god, no evidence for aliens dropping us off here.  So, I don't believe that we were put here by aliens.  Just as you don't believe in grammar and punctuation.

I think this is quite possibly the WORST posting I have ever seen on this or any forum. Get a grip of reality love.

Please, Dara, do yourself a favor and make a strong effort to read this fine book:  WHY EVOLUTION IS TRUE, by Jerry Coyne.  You can find it in most libraries; your librarian will help you.  The more you read good writing the better you will become at writing yourself.  You have a long way to go.  When you want to engage others in a thoughtful discussion using written language, you really must learn how to express yourself more carefully.

Writing, after all, is thought made visible.  The thoughts you are trying to show us here are almost incoherent.

Those not with us are against us --

No, atheists are not alien spawn. Atheists evolved on Earth and are untainted.

True believers -- xian fundies were raptured here from their many home planets. They are genetically defective beings, failed experiments in advanced DNA manipulation by a vile race of creatures called gods. Earth is a dumping ground for these bio-hazards.

Yes, as Stephen Hawking warned, aliens are malign. How does it feel to be living on a once beautiful planet, now a bio-hazard dump? That'll teach us the problems of living in a remote rural area of the cosmos.

As, no doubt, most xians are unaware of their inherent defects, we are obligated to inform them.

 

Do however wear protective gloves when handling their so-called "sacred" texts. Highly toxic.
