All DNA, not just human DNA is full of mathematics, which seems to be too complex to have happened randomly.

They are speculating on very thin questionable facts and rumors. It is very noticeable that no actual scientists are int eh video or actually named, and no studies are actually referenced. Almost everythign is presented with the qualifiers of "some say" or "some speculate".

That's a paraphrase on the vid. Any ideas on the actual subject?

@Fibonacci1618 Perhaps I wasnh't clear, they are only presenting guesses and opinions, not actual facts. Supposed facts they quoted had no legitimate sources. This is not quite even valid enough to qualify as "junk science".

No i dont' believe our DNA was influenced by aliens.

@snytiger6 ok, one out of the many points. Again, I'm neither agreeing with nor disagreeing with the vid. I'm just curious to how people process information in a skeptic, agnostic, free thinking site. But seeing what's dismissed versus what rebuttaled. Kinda like saying the sky is green, and then listening to people argue their points. Either with scientific terminology or insults. The subject isn't really the subject, if you know what I mean. Lol!

oy has she got her facts wrong! first of all, we're not descended from apes. we're descended from an ancestor we have in common with apes. her assertions about no progress for long stretches, and her concern for the missing link, are ridiculous. tools are not the only criteria for assessing progress. she also refers to "so many different races" and anthropologically there is no such thing as race, whatsoever! she uses official-looking stuff and abuses it all over the place. this is pathetic.

I appreciate your comment. What I am interested in is in understanding the short coming of her points. I have a decent hold on chemistry, anthropology, history, and cosmology so instead of a basic rejection of the presented vid, I was hoping for an educated rebuttal. Just trying to learn from those that may be better read/educated than I. In reality, I know rejection of ideas is a norm. I'm looking for the technical understanding of why it isn't or is possible. Something more cerebrally centered and not so much endocrine based.

@Fibonacci1618 you want me to go into more detail? i thought my points were sufficient! i am not a scientist. it doesn't take one to know the places i mentioned where she went wrong; they're egregious. i could do a whole bunch of research and pick what she says apart detail by detail, but i really don't have any interest in doing that, chiefly because she bases her premise on stuff that's already so clearly wrong. i just don't see the need. if you do, good luck, but i really don't have the time, or frankly the scientific education, to go farther than i have. but imagine this: someone writes a whole, intellectual-sounding paper about why humans can fly unaided, if only they try. they go into a lot of detail about what our wings are made of, and where they came from, and why we can't see them, but you know what? we already KNOW we don't have wings, and that wings don't come from a bacterial infection, and when they say that we do, and they do, it invalidates the whole thing. we don't have to research the bacteria or the history. the whole thing is already bogus.
