> aliens that seeded life on Earth are seeing us making baby steps

Or like a grad student didn’t dispose of their work properly and are desperately trying to distract from their scandal.

I vastly prefer the explanation like of Roadside Picnic. They didn't try to create us, they don't care that we're here, and, ultimately, we will never be able to know them in any meaningful sense. ;)

I never thought of it this way... who knows, could be a possibility! Oh, this is creepy...

There is a whole movie about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1azwUwKrPo

It's rare to see posts like this with such pure, crystalized ideology.

Just wait 'til he finds out the alien was Trelane and he just wanted more soldiers for his play army.

Or another take, life isn't all that special if we can make it this easily.

We have always theorized the start of life but this could actively show that life could have started on a rock floating in space given enough time. No sky daddy and no aliens necessary!

You’re use of “easy” might be being biased by living at the brink after 1000s of years of technology development by our ancestors.

A few thousands of years of skin bags dragging ourselves around a rock is practically nothing in the scope of the universe.
