Where are we from. There is a theory that humans came down from Regulus, a star in the constellation Leo?

Evolution apart, DNA programmes which decide the characteristic shape, size, color etc. of creatures and vegetation cannot evolve all by themselves. These are planted in to this planet by some superior beings from far away. Is there a theory to support this idea?Where are we from. There is a theory that humans came down from Regulus, a star in the constellation Leo?I'd love to hear the evidence.



But here's why it's not believable so far. Regulus is a B7 type star. In the OBAFGKM list of stellar types, the ones on the left are the big massive ones. The Sun is a yellow dwarf - a G type start, much to the right in the list. Little stars on the right last longer than big ones on the left. The big ones burn through their usable fuel faster. And in fact, Regulus is only about 50 million years old, compared with the Sun's 4.5 billion years. Now there is evidence of life on Earth going back at least 3 billion years. That's much more than the age of Regulus. So the Earth had life before Regulus was a star.



If Regulus has intelligent life, where did it come from? There certainly hasn't been enough time for life on some rock orbiting Regulus to develop intelligence. So these space aliens aren't Regulus aliens, they must be from somewhere else originally.



The other bit of this argument that makes no sense is the idea that Evolution is somehow incapable of producing humans. Well if it isn't, how did the space aliens become intelligent? And besides, the fossil and DNA trail on Earth going back from humans appears to be smooth and unbroken all the way back to bacteria. The easy conclusion is that humans are related to all life on Earth, and evolved here.



If we were to seed, say Venus, we'd first make the climate right, and introduce some microbes to set that up. Then we'd introduce some higher creatures - plants and very small animals. Then we'd introduce much bigger critters. The fossil record on Venus would look like all life started basically all at once, and evolved from there. The DNA story might contradict this, if the critters all come from Earth - they'd carry more of the evolution story. But if the critters were all heavily engineered, maybe it'd look like life started all at once, but different.



Evolution has been shown to work in the lab with microbes. Several new large animal species have split in recorded history. There's every reason to believe that Evolution works and leads to creatures like us.Where are we from. There is a theory that humans came down from Regulus, a star in the constellation Leo?
Regulus is about 85 light years away. It takes light 85 years to get from there to here. As far as we know, nothing that survives as matter can travel faster than that. It consists of three stars in a triple star system. The largest of these is five times the diameter of the Sun, with a luminosity 160 times that of the Sun. There are hundreds of stars that are closer and more benign than Regulus, and we did not come from them, either.



The very basis of evolution is that it works by itself. Animals create more offspring than the environment can support. They are not all identical. The weak ones die. The ones that are well-adapted survive. If the environment changes, the adaptations change. It's as simple as that. You should probably read "The Origin of Species" before you try to paraphrase or modify evolution. Where are we from. There is a theory that humans came down from Regulus, a star in the constellation Leo?Hi Micro!



My question would be, why did the concoctor of this hypothesis pick Regulus?



If I were going to devise a crackpot "theory" (with absolutely no evidence to support it) that life was carried here by space aliens, I'd at least have the sense to select a nearby star. There are about four dozen stars within 16 light years of earth. Why pick one much, much farther away?



And why select an intense star like Regulus? If our concoctor here knew a bit of how stars form, he'd realize that bright, intense stars like Regulus burn through their nuclear fuel at a far faster rate than smaller stars like the sun, so any hypothetical planets around Regulus probably would not have the time for advanced life like his hypothetical astronauts to evolve.



I can't help but thinking that his choice of stars was suspiciously influenced by the fact that Regulus has name-recognition due to its brightness and the fact that it lies in the zodiac, because it's otherwise a poor candidate for life.



Unless, of course, it too had been seeded by still earlier hypothetical aliens, perhaps from the young earth!
Already wrong. You can't believe that they evolved themselves. That is OK, for your personal peace of mind. You can IMHO, even believe that a Mullet is still a cool hair dress. And that Jesus was wearing a pink plush bunny costume during the mountain sermon. Or that humans come from the star Regulus, instead of being created by God or being distant relatives of apes.



But the species did evolve themselves and they still do. Evolution is a very stupid and simple process. If you only see the presently existing species and only the healthy individuals of these, you may not see evolution - but history is full of failures, which did not last long enough for joining the gene pool.



Even just breeding horses and dogs is evolution - and as you can see, it works well enough even in human time spans.



Where are we from. There is a theory that humans came down from Regulus, a star in the constellation Leo?Ah yes, I've heard this idea before. I first heard this idea in the movie "expelled". I think its a load of bull. I was very disappointed in the person (sorry forgot his name) that actually endorsed that idea. I find it very silly, and very far fetched. But that's just my opinion.



I don't see any scientific evidence behind it at all, much less any scientific proof. Compared to the theory of evolution, it is nothing.Where are we from. There is a theory that humans came down from Regulus, a star in the constellation Leo?
In science, theories don't support ideas. Theories are explanations for a set of observed phenomena. You're using the layperson's definition of theory - an unsupported guess or conjecture. There is no evidence that humans come from anywhere else but good old Mother Earth, and yes, "DNA programmes" CAN evolve and HAVE evolved. So there's really no reason for any scientific theory that puts our origins on another planet.



I hope that helps to answer your question. Good luck!
It's true that our DNA is essentially a blueprint of what we are. Within our DNA can be found the building blocks that led to our being throughout evolution, meaning: Our DNA still has the genetic information of all species we evolved from. In fact, human fetus's go through "mini-evolution" stages in development...at one point early in development they have fins and tails resembling creatures of our ancient ancestry.



The reverse is not true, however. Lower forms of life do not have blueprints of us embedded in their DNA. At the beginning of life on Earth, there was no plan for evolution. Lifeforms evolved in response to the conditions they lived in; after branching out from their original form, each species evolved it's own unique ways of obtaining food, avoiding dangers, and coping with the micro-climate of the region in which it lived.



I am amused when I hear people say things like "There must be a GOD. How else can you explain why the Earth is made to be so perfect for us?" Well, I can explain it quite simply...the Earth was NOT created to be perfect for us, we evolved to be perfect for it. The climate is perfect, the food supplies are sufficient, and the dangers are capable of being dealt with by us because we evolved in such a way to make the best use of the resources available.



I don't dismiss the possibility that life came here from another planet, but I see no reason to believe that there was some kind of "divine plan" spurring evolution.Where are we from. There is a theory that humans came down from Regulus, a star in the constellation Leo?
yeah either of the fairy tales told by scientology or christianity will support our development from anything other than natural processes. This is mainly because the people who endorse these ideas... and those who follow them... have no clue about the principles of cellular biology, biochemistry, organic chemistry or anything like that. Of course if you do think we were planted here... just wait til Haley's comet circles by again and drink the kool-aid... see where you wake up.
well i have also heard the constellations Leo and dog and ...well these theories or rumors or myths have popped up since the book "chariot of the gods" was written back in the 70's. there is no proof that any one came from any where but good old earth. the journey our ancestors took getting out of Africa and spreading around the world is almost of biblical portions. by the by life here started here . don't you think if people had proof there was Allen life some one some where would have presented proof? look it up.
we are from God...
