I've been speculating such things since before I could walk John. There may have been/are/will be other humanoids but not humans. There are so many ways that life can evolve the chances of two identical things appearing are vanishingly small. But there could be similarities, we can expect eyes where an animal has evolved near a light source. Having senses near some sort of central processing unit for more rapid coordination makes sense. Limbs seem very likely. But there will be as many different ways for aliens to make use of these given's as there has been for life on earth. And even if you get a humanoid body plan why would it walk upright? Only one animal on earth in over a billion years of sophisticated life has chosen this path.
And all this assumes that a cell like the one in my post yesterday gets itself together and provides what life needs to become so varied and complex. Or maybe there are a billion different ways of doing it. But forget all this holographic universe stuff, it doesn't apply here and is wildly speculative and solves nothing cosmologically anyway. It doesn't mean we might have duplicates elsewhere. But what of the vedic idea that the human body plan is a mirror of some ultimate creation, the ved itself? I'll just get off the floor and stitch my sides up. You can tell I'm not a creationist ;-) ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <jr_esq@...> wrote: There's current speculation that life might have evolved before humans existed on earth. IMO, it's also possible that humanoids existed throughout the universe before humans on earth evolved. This may be due to the phenomenon called the holographic principle of the universe. IOW, we are just a small reflection that is a common phenomenon throughout the universe. http://news.yahoo.com/video/universe-full-life-090614348.html http://news.yahoo.com/video/universe-full-life-090614348.html Or, it could be that the quantum wave function that created the Big Bang already had the information necessary to create humans throughout the universe when the right conditions are met in planets of suns in any galaxy. If so, how many of those humanoid civilizations have evolved into the the highest state of consciousness or dimension?
