Earth. Is it our home?
by Yashaswi J
2020 had been a year for most of us to spend time with family and also work from home. In between most of us might have found sometime to browse through the web series in Netflix, Prime, Disney and many other OTT (Over-the-top). Similarly, I saw some episodes of space explorations types of web series. After I saw many such series, something strike my mind. Did we evolve from apes to human on this Earth? Or are we from another planet?
Why does this question arise?
I have been always seeing that apart from humans all other animals, birds, aquatic animals get along with nature easily. We humans carry wishes of wanting more and more. We try to explore and create something new out of what is available on earth or inside the earth. For example, most of the young minds, elders everyone has a dream of building a sophisticated house in a metro city or in their home towns etc. We might be fighting to save nature, save environment, save planet etc. But we also want to fulfil our dream. How are these dreams get fulfilled. To build a new house raw material should come from the nature ie demolishing Rock Mountains to get gravels, taking out sand from river bed and furniture made of wood come from cutting trees. To protest in streets we need placards, banners which are made out of cutting trees. Does it really making sense?
If we try to see from the bird’s eye we are directly or indirectly responsible for extracting all kinds of materials/minerals from earth to sustain our living on this planet. We do not want to live in dens, grow food plants and wander naked. Hence we have been evolving more on improving our life style.
This boils down to one hypothesis that “do we belong to this planet”?
Then how did we come to this planet and why did we live in dens like animals?
Imagine we were living in a different plant of any other solar system in the universe. We must have survived in that planet for millions of years. We had improved technology for thousands or Millions of years. Then we created a space ship to abandon that planet as we discovered that the life is not sustainable anymore. Few selected people jumped out of that planet and become space explorers to find another similar life sustaining planet. And those who did not make it to space ship are left in that dying plant. To explore in space we must invented deadly weapons to protect ourselves from predators of unknown planets or some other planets explorers.
If there were 10,000 people on the space ship (Might be more space ships) and population would have reduced considerably because of shortage of food and other supplies. Like this we might have spent 100s of years in space just exploring or finding a life sustaining planet.
We entered into the Milky Way galaxy and found the current solar-system. With many other planets around we would have assessed all the planets and selected Earth can be sustainable. But wait, here there are huge animals kind of beasts like dinosaurs etc. How can we live in this planet?
Our then technology would have provided the possibilities of migrating to earth for eg.. Bombard earth with some kind of Bomb which would eliminate all huge animals and then because of heat produced of bombardment all living beings on earth would get submerged under the ground. Leave it for another 100s of years to get back to normal. Wait until the evolution of some algaes, ameobas and new kinds of species. As this theory might have suggested by the predicting technology of the space ship we have executed it and landed in many different parts of the earth. As we landed on earth we got scattered and abandoned our space ships. We searched for food and tried to understand the environment on earth.
After few more years on earth most of them forgot about the space ships and in parallel other species were also evolving along with the new humans on earth. We didn’t have tools and equipment to build technologies as most would have got exhausted in space and must have got lost while we landed. Our mind thought only on getting food and shelter. Like this we spent 1000s of years. By the time human population increased we tried to keep the knowledge from our ancestors. Our ancestors might be the Gods for e.g. Shiva, Brahma, Vishnu (Hinduism). As we spent more time together in the south Asian region our lifestyle was based on the climates of this region. Hence we called ourselves as Hindus. Similarly, other space ships which landed on Arabic region, they called themselves as Muslim. Similarly, people from other spaceships which landed on different parts of the earth became the native land of those people.
You might have observed that if you go to any part of the world, most of them see sky and pray. This was the sign language which was never forgotten as we sought help from other explorers in past. We would have seen the sky and wished for those who can help us. Today, this sign language is termed as praying. And it is very similar in every corner of the world. Even a tribe knows that there is a GOD and also an EVIL without even communicating with different parts of the world. How could this be possible?
We evolved as doctors from Sushrutha to highly talented. We evolved from meditating sadhus to scientists inventing telescopes. We evolved from tribes to civilized societies. The knowledge of spaceship landing and exploring got faded and all concentrated on developing themselves. All kinds of political, geographical and different kinds of knowledge were explored. By this time we would have spent 1000s of years on earth. Parallel to this there are animals which are being evolved.
Today, we are fighting for thoughts, freedom, environment, wishful thinking etc.
In another 1000s of years we will get back to the same cycle of explorers in space finding a different earth. Also, we would have developed all kinds of weapons, instruments etc for our help in exploration. There will only be limited people who qualify for exploration and rest will be left on earth to die along with the planet.
The same, will repeat until a kind of space war happens and there won’t be any survivors. This applies only to human.
The species which are not like human can be the native animals of a planet. Humans can never be a native of any planet, any geography, any country, any state or any area on earth. The thing what you see daily outside your home like protests, fights, religion, god are all conspiracy theories we created for ourselves. This is because, we carry emotions for different things and people. Hence we fight for what we want.
If we dig out spaceships which were submerged inside earth millions of years ago then we might get the answer for “Who we are?”. We might not belong to any religion. We might turn out to be just explorers. We might be the aliens on this planet earth.
What do you think?
