Are we aliens?

I posted this on another forum, and figured I'd post it here too ... kindofa weird, interesting little theory of mine. I don't really believe it ... just ... food for thought.

Ok, there are some out there who believe in aliens, and some who don't. I, personally, don't know if I'm a "true" believer or not, and quite frankly, it doesn't matter much to me. But to those who do actually believe there is life out there besides the life on this planet ... you may find this interesting. Hell, even if you're a non-believer, you may still find this interesting.

What if ... the aliens that people claim to see or encounter are actually ... us? Evolution of the human race.

Now let me explain. A species can change over many years because of it's environment ... if you change the environment of a single species for a great amount of time, they will change in order to adapt to that environment.

Now ... what would happen if humans were, for thousands of years, placed in outerspace? A new environment. A totally different environment than the one we live in now. Would humans slowly evolve to adapt to the new environment? If so ... then there you have it ... we are our own aliens.

But ... another question arises ... if this can only happen through thousands of years, then why are they around now?

Well ... look how much our technology is growing everyday. I mean ... it's at such an accelerated rate, who knows what might be possible in even 10 years. My point is this ... if you take a few thousand years, and look at how fast our technology grows ... just ... imagine what could be at our fingertips. I know you may be a little lost, so let me elaborate;

When people claim to see an alien craft, they say that it is capable of moving in any direction at any time ... it will be visible one second, then the next ... with that kind of technological advancements ... what else do you think they might be capable of doing? Perhaps ... they, or we rather, are capable of ... time travel? I mean ... scientists have said that with enough speed, time travel is actually possible.

Well ... in short ... I guess all I'm really saying is what if the aliens so many have claimed to see are merely the evolved human, observing history? What if ... we are studying ourselves?

yea this is the same thing i came up with after watching some movie. i think it was sphere. i get all these mixed up but i think this is the one where a giant spaceship is found in the ocean and they go inside it and they find an american flag or something. but that doesn't make sense because the ship has been there for hundreds of years. so you start thinking up kooky crap er something. i dunno. i'm tired, i'm going home.

actually this was the exact case in this book i read when i was like 10 years old, it was some kid's book

Good post, .02.

Nos.

Have you ever heard of the Nephilim?

Mind you, that's part of another belief system altogether, but it has much to do with what you're talking about.

There are too many paradoxes that would occur with time travel, therefore I believe it is not possible. Just a small comment on part of the post.

I'm an alien but my homeword blew up and I got sent her in a space pod mixed in with a bunch of asteroids.

noooo waaayyy...is that you GVaD? from Pod I7-26B? oh man! long time no see! how are the kids?

"Do you believe in...time travel?" :P

This theory of your's is what the conclusion of the last episode of the x-files was about in a way....

And the end in The Planet Of The Apes do suggest that we, the humans, did everything to ourselfs, wich ended up with a planet full of apes...Why could not that be the case...(ok not with apes, but anyways...)

But however Sience Fiction that is, I am not to far from such a conclusion myself.
