When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Lol it's 100000% cgi people don't just randomly have a totally different eye structure like it's an extra toe

yeah even if it was real third eyelids don't even work like that, they go from the corner near the nose to the opposite side, there's no fourth one to meet with

therefore it's either completely fake or actual aleins

So basically we are the VonNeumann probes. All of the base pairs were sprinkled throughout the universe, and reassemble themselves in the right conditions in order to evolve into the final form that will, IDK, make Klondike bars for Radar or something

so this is the only way I could see the "we were seeded/created" also leading to the "and the things that made us are fascinated by us"

create a blueprint for life and shoot it out into the cosmos, and watch what it becomes expertly suited to the environment that selects it

and it would be funnier still if we're built from some cobbled together collection of scraps that shouldn't lead to intelligence but by god, we did it kinda
What I'm getting is that if you gently caress up organic chemistry enough times you might accidentally invent biology.

there's a pretty good 50s sf story which iirc has the word "microcosmic" in the title about a scientist who kicks off a petri dish world and is horrified when things get real. like a proto-sand kings, if you remember that story by george rr martin

there's not that many ammino acids that make up like...all proteins and DNA and stuff. An annoying part of any biochem class is to memorize them, at least the important ones. There's only 22! Space can easily make 22 relatively simple molecules and then throw them into my warm wet earth hole

Oh yeah, Lisa.

I don't remember the title but there is a weird tales where some humans are at the cusp of space flight & find there's a weird tablet made from some incorruptible alien material, with all these instructions & advanced concepts... The stunning twist: They're intelligent tardigrades seeded by humans, who develop the tech to escape their puddle

Ahhh yeah, noticed these two bad boys in the window of a charity shop and felt obliged to duck in and buy them!

I'll upload any interesting cases/pages - I think there's a better chance of some hidden gems given they're not about American encounters

Edit no matter what I do or which way I turn the camera I can't get it to have the picture the right way up. But you get the idea

I like to think usa government UFO programs are just bubbles of office workers getting paid to do absolutely nothing all day. All hidden in the maze like buearcacy of the American system. Occasionally the exhaust fumes of such clerical abborations are seen: "government alien material retrieval program still exists"

either consciousness persists past the death of a body, and thus the life lived by that body is totally meaningless and infinitely small
or consciousness ends with the death of a body and the universe is a completely pointless and bullshit cycle of things popping into being, suffering, and then popping back out again
