Scientists find Extraterrestrial genes in Human DNA

www.agoracosmopolitan.com

A group of researchers working at the Human Genome Project indicate that they made an astonishing scientific discovery: They believe so-called 97% non-coding sequences in human DNA is no less than genetic code of extraterrestrial life forms.

I found this to be a highly interesting read. I just stumbled upon this and this is the first time I have ever heard of anything like this before. I still don't know what to make of this. I have never actually heard of The Canadian before (even though I'm Canadian) so I don't know how credible it is. I hope this wasn't posted before, I did a quick search and didn't find anything.

Let me get this straight. We dont even know if aliens exist yet they make up 97% of our DNA? Thats an awful lot....

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A SCIENTIST NAMED PROF. SAM CHANG?

Sam Chang. Not, it does not ring a bell.

SO YOU PERSONALLY HAVE NOT WORKED WITH HIM ON THE GENOME PROJECT? SAM CHANG?

No, not that I’m aware of. There are a lot of people involved we never got to meet, but we only met through emails. But that name does not ring a bell.

IN THE CAPACITY YOU HAD IN ST. LOUIS AND TODAY, SHOULD YOU KNOW MOST OF THE MAIN PEOPLE?

Most of the main characters, yes. Although it was very international and there were some labs that we never got to go to or meet the people from. So, some of the names don’t stick in my head from back then.

The URL indicates this was published August 8th, 2007.

Really old for nobody to have mentioned this before.

Also, like the OP said, 97% is ET DNA yet nobody admit ET's exist?

This article looks off and so does the Web Site.

Is this the Canadian version of "The Onion" or something? lol

Sounds more like speculation than actual science. But then again you never know. Although it sounds a bit suspect.

ALSO how do they know its extra terrestrial? what are they comparing it with?

I'd find this a lot more compelling if it came from a more credible source and didn't contain so much speculation and other less than credible associations.

Nonetheless, to me, this theory of "extraterrestrial programmers" sounds a lot like this:

THE LIFE CARRIERS

Life does not originate spontaneously. Life is constructed according to plans formulated by the (unrevealed) Architects of Being and appears on the inhabited planets either by direct importation or as a result of the operations of the Life Carriers of the local universes. These carriers of life are among the most interesting and versatile of the diverse family of universe Sons. They are intrusted with designing and carrying creature life to the planetary spheres. And after planting this life on such new worlds, they remain there for long periods to foster its development.

Alien compared to WHAT?????

HOW on earth would they come to such a conclusion.....alien to a goldfish???? I would hope so!

the article was an interesting read, but sadly i will have to say it lacks credibility.
Simply looking at this page was enough to convince me the site is not credible:

www.agoracosmopolitan.com...

We would have heard of this a LONG time ago if there was some truth to the claims made in the above link.
For example, there are articles like "Researchers suggest that Jesus was a descendent of Black Extraterrestrial time-travellers" to "Manipulative Extraterrestrials influenced Adolf Hitler, scholars suggest".

I would simply write this site and this "so- called" professor chang as false, and a possible attempt to ridicule REAL research on unidentified objects and the possible existence of extra-terrestrial life.

Oh yeah, no offense to original poster but this isn't breaking news.

It's from 2007.

Good catch on the story OP, but it is pure speculation from what I read. To be able to make claim to all this, they must first have "Actual DNA" to compare it to. How can they come to this conclusion without a true comparative analysis?

This isn't breaking news in any way shape or form.

This is years old, first of all.
Second, even I didn't believe this for a second the first time I heard it.

HOW do you conclude that ANYONE has extraterrestrial genes without having extraterrestrial genes to study?

This makes no sense.
None at all.

Anyone who buys this story should be shouting at this Doctor asking him where is the ET he studied to conclude this.

I agree 100%!!

But this is ATS and 20 pages later in this thread there will be people talking about somehow they've always "known" or "felt" like they werent from here yadda, yadda, yadda.

I guess one could argue that a certain gene isn't observed in anything we have catalogued, and is therefore extraterrestrial.

But if a "scientist" told me that I would laugh in his face.

Quite a leap from "something we don't have catalogued" to "out of this world."

1. The story isn't even true.
2. The story isn't breaking news.
3. My comment was a knee-jerk reaction to seeing this thing for like the 5th time.

If you accept that a minimum of 95% of the genome is shared between human and chimpanzee, this suggests chimps are mostly, if not entirely ET, no?

How do you figure that? Chimps are ET because they share DNA with another species who is also from the same planet? How does that make them "ET"? That doesnt even make sense.

Im a bit confused as i am thinking this through, bear with me..

Extra terrestrial basically means not of this world
So if 97% of our DNA is extra terrestrial doesn’t that make it terrestrial because we are all from earth?

If it is something new that has been discovered, that doesn't mean the it's ET either, its just undiscovered

okay... this might not be from this year but I haven't seen it yet. Now - there is much speculation here as alot of other posters have said. Also, as said above, what are they comparing it to in order to say that it is extra terrestrial?? That is a good question. I'm not knocking this down, for I have a very open mind and believe anything is possible....... BUT this does seem very specualtive and I will look into it further. I have never heard of the source BUT the Human Genome Project is a very professional organization that has been mapping genes for years, is it not?? Seems like these proffessionals are really sticking their necks out there for criticism and I applaud them for that.
