Some Convincing Evidence...

So, there's this argument about whether we evolved on earth like everything else or did god snap his fingers or played in the claybox, whatever... and poof! There we were. All naked n shit.
Interestingly enough, The religious story IS closer to the truth. Yikes, never thought I'd say THAT!

Here's the background and line of reasoning...
Conider ecosystems. All interdependent, but you can identify distinct environments all over the world. Within these ecosystems (i hope those are somewhat interchangeable?) there is a balance which is generally maintained. There are fluctuations of levels of system domination for any give organism but in the end, the balance is maintained and their domination recedes. But, there is a situation where that is not true. No we're not talking about humans yet...

When an organism is transfered from its evo-developed ecosystem to another (usually by human means), assuming the environment is basically hospitible to the organism, that organism will more often than not, spread like crazy and totally dominate the system, wreaking havoc on the naturally occurring organisms and foliage. This happens as far as I can tell, every time. Even to the point of looking at europeans comming to the americas. boom! They drown the naturally occuring ecosystem. So you probably see where this is going...

Look at where we are as beings on earth... We are effortlessly laying waste to every other organism and plant. It's not even a competition. (are plants organisms?) Well, if you look how earth works outside of our influence, this type of domination simply does not occur PERIOD. Well, unless you are dealing with a transplant... hmmm... We do act a little odd in comparison to everything else... Maybe australopithicus and cro-magnon man and all the others did exist, but there is no "missing link". We just showed up and wasted them all (or those that seeded us did).

Anyway, yep. We were planted here. Once I saw this regarding ecosystem domination stuff and how consistent it is down through all living things on this planet I became convinced. Pretty wierd stuff eh?
