The answer is yes and no; since there is currently no way of determining the origination of the chemical byproducts of our species or the means by which their organization took place this allows the probability (however unlikely) that a higher race of being created homo sapien sapienc on their spacecraft's from an already evolving species at any point along our evolutionary rise to fruition. However, this theory lacks much merit due to the vague definition of 'alien'; the phrasing of this question leaves the questionee's the means by which to interpret the questioners meaning of alien to be anything not of this earth, to interpreting the question on a universal- even spiritual level- due to the fact that alien means foreign and considering there is a large consensus on the theory of inflation we all come from a speck smaller than an atom and therefore cannot be alien in any sense of the word. Simply put, the way this question is phrased it is up the the individual to answer the question; our planet was created by dust that was created by a sun which was a collection of dust that has traversed the universe, coalesced and ignited- does this make our entire solar system alien? Also, it is possible that vital chemicals that ignited life on our planet was blown off another planet or meteor and landed on our planet- does this make all life alien even if it did evolve on earth. Finally, is it truly a practical way of living life thinking that aliens visited us at some point in our history, made us intelligent, and left when we have no evidence to even support their existence (quite pragmatic). But can humans be aliens? I'll leave that answer up to you. ___________________________________________________________ ____May I add on that the definition of "alien", as a noun is
| A foreigner, esp. one who is not a naturalized citizen of the country where they are living. Someone who lives in a different part of the world could be considered an "alien". They don't have to be from outer space. |
