D: Did the beingsfrom outerspace have anything to do with whaforms the eo. .14 life took? For the most part it was guided very carefully initially, in order to progress and evolve to that point where it could simply be left to its own devices. Assistance became no longer necessary after the life-forms had evolved toa high degree, to that stage which was desired. So when it reached that point there was withdrawn the assistance which was of aguiding nature and given the assistance which was simply a nurturing nature. . By "higher," do you mean when itfinally reached the animalor the humanstage? mm. _ a ae There were many stages below human in which it was slowly but surely evolving toward human form. There was the assistance in assuring that the preliminary stages would be of such a nature that the evolution would lead to human form. It was most impor- tant in the earliest stages to direct the evolution such that the out- come would be of human form and not ofsome other form. 153 THE DINOSAURS
