Off-Word Microbes Seeded Life on Earth: Meet Your Parents, the "Eternals"

Ancestors of our Giant Viruses would be able candidates for our alien DNA parents to send to Earth to colonize it. The giants have characteristics of both bacteria and viruses AND are freakishly huge with equally freakish genomes. A bacterium that could act like a virus or become one easily to infect and destroy competing life and replace them with forms based on alien DNA would be a good choice for those aliens who wished to conquer. The giant viruses fit this description. They offer the best of two worlds, the living bacteria, and the potential “non-living,” but a highly infective virus that can do indefinitely dormant. Many giants not only have the genes of most known organisms, but also have genes UNKNOWN to any occur in any organisms on earth.

One giant remained frozen for 30,000 years and then came to life.

Paul Davies is among those who believe that, rather than starting in the oceans, life may have begun deep underground near volcano vents. [3] In this way it would be shielded from extreme radiation, harsh temperature changes, and toxic atmospheres.

One example he presents: Life started on Mars and then hitched a ride to Earth, a form of undirected panspermia.

Tons of microbes thrive deep underground in the modern world.

If we assume that an advanced civilization engineered the magnificence of the genetic code and applied it to create colonizing microbes, then the early cosmonauts would include divisions for seeding more life on land or sea, or deep underground. In any event, life would eventually penetrate into the oceans and on the land surface.

A shotgun seeding at regular or random intervals would become a viable strategy to spread their genes and eventually harvest a planet full of robust biology, and impregnate it further for their agenda.

The dominant theme observed from studies of alien abductees is one of hybridization. The civilzation that seeded us, or "Eternals," four to 10 billion years old, if they survived, have filled up Earth with life centered about one of their engineered genetic codes and DNA. Hybrization makes perfect Darwinian sense, no matter how crude and disrepectful the methods seem to us.

Positives: Alien microbes branched out to form as many as a trillion species. The primate family may have been tweaked to be more intelligent, more eloquent speakers, and emotional firecrackers about seven million yeas ago.

We are valuable for seeding more life on more planets, and merging with a variety of even more alien lifeforms on this one. It would be hard to imagine any alien species that would just want to kill everything or humans. Now enslaving us, or breeding us en mass, is another story altogether.
