now hear me out. although the words south park may deter some people, i think theyve stumbled across a sound idea. they suggested that earth was created, to populate with animals and make the best reality TV show in the universe.

im looking more to the point that we were put here by others and our earth was scrapped after the dinosaurs. what if we were aliens entertainment or one of their experiments. it seems to me that it would be strange, for so many different looking animals, to be collected together on one planet.

if these thoughts were true, then:

-at any time, our planet could be destroyed or seriously changed by others
-aliens could look quite like us, because if all the animals they gathered have 2 eyes, 2 ears, etc. then...
-we could just be entertainment or an experiment, like the sims, or lab happenings with set surroundings.
-it may explain why things like wasps and mosquitoes exist, when they have no apparent reason to be here and why all the animals except for these are so fitting to the planet. (the aliens could create the correct atmosphere etc.)

It's like the Truman Show just on a massive scale.

Why?

You obviously don't know much about malaria or mosquito life-cycles.

They don't have brains. And saying things like "they still have to eat" is a bit daft. They require energy, to gain energy they need to consume. Just because life has things in common, doesn't indicate some form of outside design.

Lie? No. Most believable theory, yes. Of course, nobody was around 65million years ago to witness it, so no-one can say for sure, but there is evidence to back up the theory, including, it should be noted, a tendency for a similarly sized meteor to impact the earth roughly every 65 million years or so. And as for flu killing off creatures on a global scale, that's just preposterous really. The flu would have to have simultaneously evolved on all continents for it to spread like that, and even then, it would have to mutate quickly enough, and consistently enough to be able to target so many thousands of species. It's just incredibly unlikely. Of course, there are other theories, such as the Sabre tooth "over-consumption of resources" thing, and many of them make sense, but given that we have more than reasonable evidence that a meteor hit that could easily have done the job, it's the most likely explanation.



> what was the name of this meteor? where did it land?

Not sure if it has a name, if it does, I don't know it, but I believe it landed somewhere adrift of the Mexican Gulf, though I could be mistaken.

Anyway, given that Dinosaurs existed for a few hundred million years, do you really think that some race of aliens sat and watched them for such an extraordinary length of time before suddenly and inexplicably becoming bored just as dinosaurs were becoming more intelligent, more adaptable, more flight capable and, generally, more interesting and deciding to wipe them out?

I doubt that myself...

something has to influence this though. you cant just say its because of natural selection. something has to change first to trigger a reaction.

i didnt think this was the case. and the mosquitoes would die off because of natural conditions, sooner than malaria.

they still need to eat, they still grow, they are reproduced in a similar fashion, they live in water like many other animals, they still have parts of the body used to move, they do have brains...

this is a lie. we dont know that, its just a common idea. they could have died from a form of the flu having developed. them not being able to protect them selves and it wiping them out to extinction. the ground sample (cuttings into the ground used for research) could have been influenced by special weather conditions at the time...

what was the name of this meteor? where did it land?

I wouldn't go that far. We suspect as much with absolute authority but there's no definite proof. Just a bunch of bearded men hypothesising.

Not freak, happens all the time naturally due to natural selection etc.

Malaria is a parasite that uses mosquito as host to spread offspring, then consumes and kills the mosquito itself, in that order. The control "thing" is just the way life has evolved to take advantage of all the possibilities.

Jelly fish have no eyes, brains or skeleton, neither do many creatures. I don't think you know this subject well enough.

Dinosaurs got wiped out by a meteor that we KNOW stuck 65million years ago, it was two and a half miles across and wiped out 95% of all life on the planet. I'm sure advanced aliens have more efficient methods of extermination.
