Science and religion are often intertwined...whether they want to be or not.
And no matter what people believe about where we humans came from, there may always be disagreement. And the debate between religion and science is the biggest debate about our origins raging to this day.

Evolution vs. creationism is an argument with which most of us are familiar. And it can be a very angry topic for both sides. One side believes we evolved, as Charles Darwin theorized, gradually from great apes. The other side, the religious side, claims that humans and our planet are simply too profoundly amazing and unique that we must have been intelligently designed by a creator.
But what if they’re both right, in a sense? What if there were elements of both evolution AND creation that shaped who we’ve become?

And what am I talking about?

There is real-world evidence to support such an idea out in the fringes of historic record. And it’s called Intervention Theory. But first we have to look at what’s wrong with both sides of the argument.
Creationism is considered by many to be a wonderful story, a myth, if you will, though it neglects to explain important details scientifically. But since science wasn’t a prevalent endeavor at the time the Old Testament was written, this is to be expected. And I think the people of the time made an interpretation of events they saw take place in the only way they could understand. And they accepted stories that were handed down to them because this is how they learned about their history.

Evolution, on the other hand, relies on evidence that’s been found that shapes the idea that humans evolved gradually from great apes into what we are now. And there is a lot of evidence to support this theory, but it’s hard to find enough evidence to support the idea that evolution affected us in the same way as other animals. There isn’t enough evidence to support the idea that we evolved directly from great apes. The major hurdle that science can’t seem to resolve is that about 200,000 years ago, great apes made an enormous and somewhat unusual evolutionary leap, and humans, albeit homo sapiens, emerged seemingly out of nowhere, and became a dominant force on the planet in a relatively short time. After millions of years of lumbering along at an evolutionary snail’s pace, we suddenly burst onto the scene at an accelerated rate of speed.

Why?

Science has never answered this question satisfactorily. But what if the ancient myths have been telling the story all along and we’ve been ignoring it because of what we’ve been taught to believe? Now, we always shut down when we science-minded types hear the word myth, because it all seems so UN-scientific, but try to just stay with me on this.

When I was in grade school, and we learned about the first civilizations, we were always taught that the ancient texts they inscribed everywhere were just myths; like stories told to children that explained all the things to which they really didn’t know all the answers. But what if they aren’t myths at all? Inscriptions on stones were not the easiest thing to accomplish. There was a lot of labor involved in making them. Why would they tell mythical stories to them with no historical significance? Wouldn’t it make more sense to inscribe actual events? We assume that, since the texts often refer to “gods” that it must be their mythology. But what if they were telling about real people they believed to be gods? How would that change our interpretation?

This is the question that a man named Zecharia Sitchin wanted to answer. Sitchin, a Russian-born scholar, author, linguist, and researcher specializing in cuneiform writing, had been driven for years to meticulously study the Sumerian inscriptions and finally crack the code of those ancient texts like no one had been able to do before. He was one of only a couple hundred people in the world capable of interpreting cuneiform writing. And he eventually claimed he succeeded in interpreting the Sumerian texts in 1976, in his book, The Twelfth Planet, where he told a story from them that revealed a possibility so shocking that it rocked the scientific world and led it to dig in its heels and deny it all. But it also led many to question long-held scientific interpretations of the texts. This gave rise to what is now called Intervention Theory ....or the alternative story of how the world and we humans were “created”... by the so-called “gods.”

In these texts, Sitchin explains from his interpretation of The Seven Tablets of Creation also called the Enuma Elish, the Sumerian’s story of the Annunaki, or the gods they served. These were living, breathing, flesh-and-blood beings that were described as having the appearance of humans and the emotions and flaws of humans also. They told of the gods often being angry, selfish, or jealous. But they could also be benevolent, caring, and charitable. They were very tall, possibly 8 to 10 feet, as depicted in the texts, and believed to be immortal, but probably just had very long life spans. They were highly advanced beings that flew, not on their own, but with the aid of flying machines that the people may not have understood well enough to describe as anything except giant metal birds. And they had many other forms of technology.

The solar system according to Sumerian texts.

And they have depicted our solar system with twelve planets, counting earth’s moon, revolving around the sun. As the story goes, the earth, or the planet the gods called Tiamat was hit by one of the moons of a roving planet that had spun out of its orbit. The force was so intense that earth was broken in half and spun, on fire, out of control for a very long time before it finally reshaped itself and slowly became the living planet we know today, with water, living plants, and evolving wildlife, including some largely unimpressive primates believed to be some of our pre-human ancestors. Though they had a very long way to go to become what we are today.

In the meantime, according to the story, in our solar system, there was a twelfth planet the Annunaki called Nibiru, that would spin in and out of our orbit every 3600 years, and this is the planet they claimed they came from. And they were said to have come here to Tiamat or Earth looking for gold to fix the damage they had done to their own atmosphere on Nibiru. 

The strange orbit of Nibiru was considered impossible in years past, but many astronomers now agree it's possible.

And it was at about this time 200,000 years ago history tells us that the ancient Sumerian culture seemed to appear out of nowhere in what is now Iraq, highly advanced, when the rest of the humanoid beings on earth were scattered and living in caves.

And as the story continues, their quest for gold continues. But extracting it is hard, tedious work, and the Annunaki don’t like doing it. So they devised a plan to take the little humanoid beings that already existed here, now believed by many to be homoerectus, and use their technology and their own DNA to genetically manipulate and hybridize themselves a worker race to mine the gold in southern Africa. This race needed to be just intelligent enough to follow instructions and do the work, but not so intelligent as to cause trouble.

And so it came to pass, these “gods” created the human race, probably in their own image, and they called them Adamu, a name curiously close to the name Adam from the Old Testament. And incidentally, the ancient Hebrews, having been exposed to this story through their enslavement, later appear to have created their own version of it which is now the Old Testament (I’ll be talking about that more in the future.)

The "goddess" Enki presenting the first human of their creation, curiously called Adamu. Does the equipment to the left appear to resemble a laboratory of some sort?

The Annunaki probably made many mistakes at first, but they finally came up with a “product” that could reproduce on its own. Us. A being far from perfect, with many genetic flaws, not quite suited to life on earth, but intelligent enough to utilize its own world and survive independently and procreate while doing the work of the gods.

But where’s the proof?

There is some very compelling evidence to support this.

First of all, humans have DNA that can’t be recognized as belonging in this world. It has often been called junk DNA, but is more often now curiously called “alien” DNA. Are they more right than they realize?

Second of all, if we, as humans on earth, had continued on the same trajectory and at the same speed as we had done on our early evolutionary path, it would have taken roughly 5 million more years for us to have reached the point of being able to build a real civilization than it did. And to reach the machine age and the space age might have taken another 5 million years. But something launched us forward at an accelerated pace. Think of early humans lumbering along trying to make better arrowheads, and then suddenly being launched into civilization. And only 66 years time elapsed between the Wright brothers first flight and the first man on the moon. How did we suddenly get so smart and so advanced? This all happened far too quickly for evolution to have taken place in the true sense of the word.

Thirdly, if you do your research, you’ll find that we humans don’t really resemble great apes in very many ways. Great apes are designed for their environment, have greater bone density, a covering of fur, better vision and hearing and olfactory senses required to live on this planet. If we humans evolved for life on this planet, why are we so poorly designed for the task? Darwin was correct and evolution is a real thing. It’s been proven time and time again in other species. But the very purpose of evolution is to create a better biological design in a species so it can better survive in its environment. Why do we need to wear clothes and shoes and sunglasses for protection on the planet on which we are supposed to have evolved? Why do we have hundreds of genetic defects? Defects that only usually happen in genetically modified species like pets and livestock that have been manipulated and hybridized? It doesn’t make sense unless intervention theory is true.

Though humans are supposed to have evolved from great apes, the real resemblances are few. As a species, we humans seem much more fragile at first glance.Though we have much larger brains and hands designed for tasks that are much more detailed like playing music or creating art.

And lastly, the most important and significant of all the evidence. The fused chromosomes. Great apes have 48 sets of chromosomes. We have 46, and were supposed to have evolved from these great apes. It isn’t possible under natural circumstances to lose two chromosomes and come out better. But maybe we didn’t really lose anything. We have fewer sets because the second and third of the old primate (possibly homoerectus) chromosomes were fused together. All humans have this, and it’s not something that happens naturally in any living species. That is something that only happens in a lab. Scientists have been working hard to come up with an explanation for this, but what if it’s simply because we’re a genetically manipulated species? This is what intervention theorists consider to be the smoking gun.

Human chromosomes. Notice the 2nd pair of chromosomes at the top. Great apes have 48 pairs. We have 46. How did we lose two chromosomes and become better? Perhaps the answer is, we didn't lose anything. The 2nd and 3rd ape chromosomes have been fused together to create us. This is a process that doesn't occur naturally. Only in a lab. The proverbial smoking gun.

So, could this be how the human race came to be...in such a short period of time? Are we half extra-terrestrial and half caveman? Are evolutionism and creationism both true in our origins?

Evolution is real. But could this mean creationism is real too? Just a little different than we thought?

The Old Testament said “Let us create man in OUR image.” Is that what they did, but in an unexpected way? Did they use their own DNA to create us? What if we actually were an evolved species like Darwin contended, but helped along a little in our advancement by “intelligent design” by the so-called gods who were actually just flesh-and-blood beings from another world so advanced as to be called gods? How would that affect the way we look at our history...and our spirituality? My guess is it wouldn’t really change anyone’s core beliefs all that much. But it might end the argument once and for all.

If you’d like to know more about the Annunaki and Intervention Theory, read the book by Zecharia Sitchin, The Twelfth Planet, or watch this video:


In the meantime, Intervention Theory and Zecharia Sitchin are still, after more than 30 years, subject to debate.

One thing that has always been in the back of my mind is finding the real truth about human origins. Where do we really come from, and why do we seem to have so many problems to overcome? Why are we such a unique life form on this planet? And, more importantly, why do we cause our planet so many problems?

Where did we come from? Why are we here? Have we always been here? And if we have, why are we so…defective? I’ve always wondered if we were a hybrid being of some kind. Perhaps even the living subjects of some big scientific experiment conducted by beings from another world.

Until we have real answers, no suggestion is off the table as far as I’m concerned. And even though science is doing its best to answer all the questions, some pieces of our evolutionary puzzle still don’t quite fit in the way we’re supposed to believe they do. It doesn’t seem we have the whole story, yet. We’ve never been given really satisfactory or indisputable answers for questions about where we came from or what we might be…besides a highly-evolved ape. That’s fine, but is that all there is to our story? I have to wonder, and here’s why. See if you’ve ever thought about these things.

1. Humans can grow their head hair to undetermined lengths

We have weird hair. We’re the only hairless ape in our evolutionary line. But why? Most of us have very little on our bodies compared to other warm-blooded earth creatures. But what’s up with the hair on our heads? It can grow to undetermined lengths and then has to be cut before it gets out of control. There are no other animals that have hair that has to be cut before it reaches troublesome lengths except for one: dogs. More specifically certain breeds of purebred dogs; biologically engineered dog breeds such as Maltese’s, Shih-tzus, and Poodles. Have you ever wondered why this is? Is there some purpose for it that we don’t even know about? Or is it a throwback from some elusive ancestors of ours somewhere else besides earth? Or is this a defect from us being biologically engineered.

In I871, in The Descent Of Man, Charles Darwin suggested this happens because we’re the only creature on earth that has evolved the intelligence to cut hair. I’m not sure I buy this. He also suggested we humans may have evolved such hair as a means of sexual attraction. But Darwin also believed that many things we evolved were for the purpose of sexual attraction, but I tend to believe that we’d all be attracted to each other if we all looked like big raisins. Bottom line, Darwin really didn’t know either. The hair seems to have no purpose for our basic survival, and actually could undermine survival if it wasn’t kept under control by artificial means. So why IS our hair the way it is?

2. Humans have numerous allergies

Humans, strangely, are allergic to lots of things in their environment. If we were really true creatures of earth, why are we often hyper-sensitive to or just plain allergic to our own world? It’s one thing to be allergic to our man-made substances, but it’s quite another to be allergic to the trees and plants in our back yard; all the flora of the planet we’re supposed to have come from.

Based on Darwin’s ideas about continuously-growing hair, these allergies could have plagued us because humans are the only creatures with the intelligence to invent allergy medicines. Do you see where I’m going with this? I’m trying to point out how ridiculous some of our traits are and how authorities attempt to explain them within a framework of reference to things with which we’re familiar. But the only other creatures on earth that have allergy problems to this degree are, you guessed it, purebred dogs and cats and other domesticated animals. Bio-engineered animals whose biology has been tampered with by another species: us.

Have we been tampered with by some other species? Are we part extra-terrestrial, or did we maybe bio-engineer ourselves in some way?

Other animals in their wild, natural environments don’t have these problems to any degree. And if they do, it makes their survival more challenging. We survive because of our intelligence and adaptability. Our bio-engineered pets and domestic animals survive due to our intelligence and intervention. So, are we another bio-engineered species, created by…some other species…from somewhere else besides earth? Or did we bio-engineer ourselves by accident? Who knows?

3. Humans Seem Poorly Designed To Live On Planet Earth

Most people believe that humans now populate all the furthest corners of this planet. They believe we are everywhere and there is no part of the planet left that we haven’t conquered. But this couldn’t be further from the truth. There are still many places on earth that humans have not set foot on. And that’s mostly because it’s too hard for us to get there. We are simply not designed for it. And humans historically, instead of defining themselves by being in tune with nature, have often defined themselves by being able to conquer nature.

This is the exact opposite of the wild animals around us that seem to be perfectly suited to the world around them with the hearing, eyesight, sense of smell, body covering, subcutaneous fat, camouflage, size, shape, and reproductive traits to survive in their unique environments.

Humans are limited to where they can live on the planet. We don’t seem to be well- adapted to any particular terrain. Our hairless skin often burns in the sun if we lack enough skin pigment. Our lack of hair or fur would allow us to freeze to death without clothing in many areas of the world. We don’t have particularly keen eyesight or hearing or olfactory senses that might be helpful to our basic survival. And yet, here we are. A completely unique and weird being, separate from all the rest that live here, relying solely on our wits to remain here.

But instead of being tailor made for our world, we seem to have to adapt our world to us. Which can arguably make us the most invasive species on the planet. Why is this? Aren’t invasive species those that have been brought in to an area from somewhere else? And don’t they wreak havoc and upset the balance in their new areas? If we were meant to be here, and if we are natural inhabitants of the planet, why are we so invasive and destructive? As that destructive nature could lead to the end of our survival here, how does that make sense?

4. Humans have DNA that can’t be recognized

Back in the 1970’s, when biologists had their first glimpse of the big picture of human genes, they saw small bits of strange DNA that seemed to be floating in a weird cesspool of unidentified muck. Since they couldn’t identify it and it seemed to have no real function, they labeled it as “nothing more than junk DNA.” And this phrase “junk DNA” stuck for decades afterward, and is still used occasionally.

And as the group at Scientific American known as Encode are trying to make sense of our genetic code, they are also systematically attempting to eliminate the term junk DNA. But the nature of this DNA is still mostly “not understood.” And some have described this DNA as being “otherworldly” or “not of this world.”

So, if this DNA truly may be “not of this world,” then the big question is where did it come from? What is our true inheritance? And until it’s identified positively, we need to ask whether it holds a great secret about our origins.

5. Human intelligence has been forced to compensate for our many flaws

6. Humans are emotionally and intellectually conflicted.

Why do we always seem to have an internal conflict going between our logical side and our wild side? It’s almost like we have two beings inside of us. One that relies on instinct and does what comes naturally, something like an animal. And then there’s that logical side that tries to stop this kind of behavior. Are the rest of the animals in the kingdom so conflicted this way? I suspect not. They just do what comes naturally to them. We are in a constant struggle over this. Humans are the only animals on the planet that question their existence and question their own instincts.

In the famous novel about acquiring secret knowledge, The Celestine Prophecy, it explained that humans are in a constant state of resolution of the personalities of their two parents. We’re always trying to find a balance between the two. Is that us? Did we originally have one wild parent and one possibly more highly intelligent parent?


I’m sure there are many out there who will scoff at what I’m saying and they’ll go with the popular scientific explanations for my questions. And that’s fine. It’s comforting to think that everything in our world makes perfect sense in some way. But it doesn’t. Not yet, at least.

And my point is that until something is proved beyond doubt by anyone, it’s wide open for questioning, especially when you really look at the strangeness and the inconsistencies of everything around you.

Has Mother Nature been violated in some way? Is there an amazingly profound story of humanity we haven’t been told? Are we the upsetters of the delicate balance who maybe aren’t supposed to be here at all? I’m leaving it up to science to eventually answer all the questions. I’m just asking them.
