Somebody always wants a bit more attention than what they are currently getting
Yeah. It is sort of silly thread.

So "silly" that you cannot stay away... Almost as if there is some interest beyond just mocking the believers.
After all, a mind such as yours does not gain anything from such petty endeavors. No, you seem like you have some nagging feeling that something is not quite right with the Truth as you have constructed it within your mind and you wonder if maybe the answer might be found among the "believers".
Believers in the Bible, believers in woo, believers in aliens... somewhere out there is a big missing piece to the puzzle.
But you cover up that vulnerability with a hastily slathered on veneer of academic condescension.
You roll in the muck with the lowly commoners and then become ashamed at yourself for doing so, and quickly climb back atop your tower to assert your position as the one who knows better, but your crown is askew, and you've got a smudge on your cheek. You know where you've been. You know you betrayed your prestigious scientific method and adultered yourself with filthy woo... it's just your shame (fear) and pride that prevent you from going all in and admitting that it's Not silly to venture outside the parameters of scientific authority.
In fact, it is courageous and wise. Its the only way our parameters are expanded. The only way to add to our list of accepted facts which you worship so faithfully. So, all these people you mock are really heroic compared to you. They dare to wonder while you dare not.
You would have been one of the people who mocked the "Spherical Earther" theorists back in the time of Copernicus. Because unfamiliarity frightens you.
Science is a comforting thing... A security blanket really. It's quite nice to the human mind. A set of rules that make sense. You can read science and memorize it. That's comforting, knowing it will never drop out from under us. Kind of like, a comforting presence that reassures you. Some might depend upon it in the same way some rely upon a crutch... or a religion.
Updates will be made, but we will all be alerted of any updates and we can all be on the same page. Isn't that nice? It's pleasant, predictable, and familiar. Venturing outside of that safety zone can be scary. But I think it's better than watching from the sidelines shouting insults at the players.

Then show us some demon DNA. Demonstrate that we are wrong for being skeptical of the premise here by providing a genetic sample of demons and or angels.

lol the whole premise is that the demon dna is GONE.
unless Neanderthals and Denisovians are demonic. we still have traces of them in our systems.

Like it or not, Phage has a point -- we've NEVER been the only DNA source on the planet. That's the thread's big-ass plot hole.
Steven Quayle spoke of an occurrence, still classified by the US Government, in his popular Radio Show “Coast to Coast”: the events allegedly happened in 2002 on a desert part of the Afghanistan, when a U.S. Army squad went missing. A Special Ops Task Force was sent to find out what had happened, and the soldiers walked along a ragged, mountainous trail until arriving at the entrance of a large cave. Pieces of broken U.S. military equipment and gear were scattered all around the clearing. The Task Force was about to enter the cave to explore its recesses when a 13-feet, red-headed, six-digit, double-toothed humanoid emerged and attacked them.
According to the witnesses, the giant pierced one of the soldiers with his long spear killing him, before the rest of the squad could take him down, shooting at his face for thirty seconds straight.
The body of the giant was packed and loaded into a helicopter, and transferred to a secret location in the USA for study.
Based on Quayle’s story L.A. Marzulli succeeded in identifying and interviewing one of the members of the Task Force who actually saw – and shot – the Giant of Kandahar, as the event became to be known.
The soldier said that his squad, on searching the cave, had come around a gigantic humanoid with a thick red beard and long hair of the same color. Inside the cave there were remains of human bones, leading the military to think that the creature was a cannibal.
