Re "Or aliens seeded the whole planet with "human" DNA.": Panspermia (love the name!). The thought that Man is made in the image of an omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent God is appealing to our vanity. But suppose that we one day discover that the DNA shared by all life on Earth was sown by an alien species: would that be a devastating blow to human self-confidence and pride? Or would we feel a sense of connection with the teeming life forms in the wider universe? I guess the answer depends on whether the seeding was done by a wise, advanced group of enlightened beings; or was the prank of the alien equivalent of a bored spotty teenager. I certainly wouldn't rule out the theory of panspermia. It would be the turning point in human history if we found a coded message buried in our DNA sequence revealing the great secret . . .

There are some researchers who believe that the ancient Polynesians may have reached Peru and California by boat. They were excellent sailors and used the night skies for direction and dead reckoning. So, the current accepted theory that the native Indians came from Asia via the Bering Straight may not be accurate at all. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> mailto:fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com wrote: And sailors from India may have populated South America in the first millennia when they were blown off coarse.
