There are so many different examples, types and proof of civilization here overlapping, evolving and devolving, some even reverse the trend of evolution - so we are either impossibly schizophrenic as a species or we were not always alone.

I think you're misinterpreting the evidence or reading inaccurate sources. Gobekli Tepi hasn't 'upended' the established view of rising civilisation. The location has been accommodated and continues to be studied.
Puma Punku is certainly not considered to be 17, 000 years old in spite of what Weekly World News or World Mysteries have to say about it. The people who built it date back 1500 years and are thought to have dispersed from the area due to climactic changes. Long after Egypt had declined. The research is ongoing.

Civilisations develop and overlap as much today as back in the distant past, so we agree on this point. It's the overlap that represents the areas of progress in human social and technological development. There was more passing along trade routes than just commerce...it was about ideas too.
Hi K I wanted to post these couple of alien clips...for peer review and thought I would reply to your post...These were comments from the links given, not my words. The last quote was me though and we seem to agree??

So you're still basically saying that if you have favorable conditions, then life just automatically (or magically) happens. Fine. I'm just asking you how you think it happens. Various dead chemicals just randomly fall into place and arrange themselves into something that lives?
I could see that happening maybe once.
The Drake theory is that- a theory

I'm sorry, but proteins are a long, long way from bacteria. You can load up a beaker full of proteins and amino acids and shake them til the cows come home, but they aren't necessarily going to form into bacteria.
I still sense that you're relying on some kind of magic here.

Can you please provide a source for this? Protons are like hydrogen so I see how this provides the H2, but don't you also need Oxygen to get the "O" in "H2O"?

Look also at the fact that the protons streaming in from the sun are creating water on the surfaces of Mars and the moon and you'll see that the presence of water on planets is not just a chance occurrence.
An obscure South Park reference, but I get it and it's very funny!

Show me something smarter than human beings. I don't see anything. You must be imagining things, or maybe confusing reality with Star Trek.

If you go to the link below you will see a close up of the picture that is evidently an identifed stationary cardinals hat. You usually get an extremely cropped desaturated image shown to lend credence to the UFO myth around it.

Alot of the technologies we have today existed in the original star trek.
We have most of the technologies that star trek "made up" being used in our world today

To me, the hat does not look anything like what is painted in the Madonna, but that is my opinion. In fact, both arguements have validity here, since there is no difinitive proof.
Also, if the artist was pressured by TPTB to discredited what he had painted, he may have succumbed to that pressure. I am a direct descendent of Pope Saint Fabian, a 3rd Century Pope who was murdered by all accounts for wanting to reinstate many of the banned books from the Bible, inluding teachings of Christ concerning reincarnation. The censorship and information mangement of Rome goes back 2000 years and it is conceivable to me this artist was forced, like the AF commander at Roswell, to put out disinformation. IMHO.
