No, the original idea behind your statement was "we don't know everything about our past, therefore we might be descended from aliens." A total non sequitur, and one that's pretty easily disproven - see ref: evolution. When called on it, you tried to bluff with a panspermia reference, which also didn't work.

As for me, I have a pretty good idea where I came from: Colorado. My parents came from Michigan & Pennsylvania, their parents did much the same, my more distant relations came from the British Isles, their ancestors came from the Continent (Scandinavia, etc.) and so on down until you get to our common ancestors in h. habilis and their ancestors, who came from the general region of the Horn of Africa. From there it gets a little murkier, since the continents start moving out of their recognizable positions, but we've got a pretty good idea of how the whole thing worked in general, if not exact dates/times/etc.

(Is is just me, or does that need Elton John crooning "Circle of Life" in the background? Onward.)

So, to sum up, if you wanna think that we were created by aliens, get yourself a better argument or go talk to the Raelians.

And yes, knackered. Cope.
