I think I have this and one more note I want to write tonight, then maybe gn.

First, on the ancient alien theories stuff.

At the far tail end of things, I believe in some form of panspermia - and I choose to believe we were essentially engineered to exist here.

Past that, I don't think whomever put us (or found us) here ever left.

Is this a god theory? Could be, and could definitely explain a lot of our god myths, even our creation and origin stories.

Now, looking back even a few thousand years, there is ample evidence of alien involvement, if you look at the evidence with an open mind to alien involvement.

If you look back to the dark ages, the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) was very effective at suppressing any hints of alien involvement from European, Mediterranean, and later north american knowledge and histories. However, alien involvement was very observable in Middle and South America, as well as southeast Asia and Polynesia. I think the Chinese may have been also very suppressive of alien involvement in their histories. Alien involvement also didn't likely stop in North America until post-colonization by Europe, at which point, again surpressed.

The current trend seems to be more accepting of at least alien theories, so I think we may soon (in the next several generations) finally again be witness to our keepers.

There are many kinds of theories that spawn from this that I don't disparage, but who am I to know what is true?

It is also quite possible that alien involvement has not all been from the same species or civilization of aliens, and what we currently are finding is evidence of multiple waves of alien contact, with the original alien keepers (designers) now long gone.

Time plays a role in this too, as our human perceptions of time (and reality) may not be shared by our alien visitors, so what we see as intermittent may be for them constant, or even the other way around. Sequences of events for us do not necessarily interpret into sequences of events in a different perspective of time and reality. So some of what we observe is simply not applicable.

That's enough. This can lead to far too many thought paths for me to just choose one to follow.
