More orthodox scientists have struggled for the past hundred years to find a provable system of evolution to account for man's appearance. The commonly accepted view is that man was a mere animal for thousands of years, and he somehow suddenly developed intelligence and consciousness and quickly evolved from a low hairy animal to his present exalted status of low hairless animal. The mythical missing link of the Sunday supplements is supposed to be the animal that bridged the two orders of life. Is the movie, 200/, Arthur C. Clarke solved the problem by having a sudden outside influence - the slab-like monolith - appear in the midst of a group of apes. It led them to discover tools, namely clubs, and they began bashing in each other's heads. 1. The religious theory: man was created by some greater intelligence through the manipulation of physical matter and energy. 2. The cultist theory: man migrated to Earth from some other planet, or he was seeded here by some other race, or he was produced when some other race crossbred with earthly animals and produced the present strain of Homo sapiens. 3. The theory of evolution: a series of random chemical and bio-’ See Dr. Berthold Schwarz's psychiatric study of Mr. Wilcwt in UFO Percipients. logical accidents took place over a period of millions of years, and man slowly evolved from lower life forms. Billions of people have believed and still believe in supernatural creation. A few million accept Darwin's theory of evolution, and only a few thousand are even willing to consider the seeded idea. The real truth may be a combination of all three, Of the three, evolution is actually the weakest and the most difficult to support. Evolution adequately explains the development of living species, the process of natural selection, and the other things, but it fails to provide a rational and provable explanation for the process of creation itself. Scientists shrug this off with limp statements about how bolts of lightning struck puddles of chemicals and induced life. But if such a lightning process were true, it should be still continuing, and it should be easy to duplicate in our laboratories. The fact that it is not a discernible continuing process (new species are not constantly appearing) and that we have not managed to duplicate it weakens the concept... The Japanese have myths and legends which claim that their islands were first settled by beings who descended from the sky. These stories are a part of the Japanese culture. The Eskimos believe they were somehow flown to die Arctic circle in andent times. The natives of the Sahara desert have folklore about blue-skinned people from the sky who had such impact that certain tribes still dye their skins blue in emulation of these andent cosmic beings; Deep in the Bayan- Kara-Ula Mountains of China there is a tribe of diminutive people about four feet high. Hieroglyphs have been found in that region (on the border of China and Tibet) by Russian archaeologists. When translated, these records describe how members of the Dropa tribe came to There are really only three primary theories for the origin of man:
