Some thoughts on evolution by Scott Adams...
1. Microchip designers often embed microscopic messages on the surface of the chip as a way of signing their work.
2. DNA has a lot of "junk" parts that don't seem to have any function.
3. A lot of people think evolution is obviously "designed" by someone.
I wonder if any cryptographers have looked at that junk DNA to see if it's a message from the designer. I'm guessing that it's a code that says something like, "I am Kaloopah, from the star system Nebulon IV. I have sent this evolution program into space as my eighth grade science project."
I imagine that a few thousand years from now, when scientists have learned to manipulate DNA, we'll be launching evolution programs into the cosmos, programmed to seek any planet that has the right environment. The rocket will land and spill its primordial goo, programmed with evolutionary preferences such as gender, eyeballs, limbs, mobility, and the urge to sit in cubicles while complaining about coworkers.
Evolution on that new planet would be programmed to develop over a few billion years to resemble us, obviously, because we're spectacularly vain, so we'd write the DNA program to turn out that way. There'd be no point in going to all that trouble just to create the Giant Chipmunk Planet.
This doesn't answer the question of who created the original aliens. But I suspect that the only way time can be infinite is if the past connects to the future like some huge Mobius strip-wormhole kind of deal. All you need to make this hypothetical system work is people like us who evolve and create new planets, who in turn evolve and create more new planets, until time loops back to our past and we get created again. In other words, we'd HAVE to evolve to the point where we could create a new planet or else we wouldn't exist in the present. Freaky, huh? |

This easter egg message could be simple enough to find as the Microsoft Excel flight simulator one.
I've always feared that this universe is nothing but some enormous teenage alien being's aquarium, where one day one of our space probes will smack the glass barrier and put NASA into a never ending panic, where of course Earthlings will not be notified about the discovery.
A teenage extraterrestrial caused the Big Bang by simply filling their aquarium and tossing in a few stones only to day have one of their intoxicated E.T. pals "bump it" and knock it off the stand while sending it crashing onto the floor.
Oops.
I sure hope that's not the case because typing this message would end up being a complete waste of time. |

A Giant Chipmunk Planet would be an awesome new anime series...Pokemon producers, please consider it. I know I'd watch it.
If I knew how to manipulate DNA I'd make Super Fine Babe Planet...or if a spaceship is not funded by my supporters, an SFBP resort in San Felipe. |

Dude, why do you keep talking to yourself? Did you inherit a bad gene or something? |
