Scientists Keep Finding Building Blocks of Life; Are Aliens Next?
Liquid water seems to exist in several places throughout our solar system; below the surface of Mars, on several of Saturn and Jupiter’s moons, and even on our own moon at one point. And where there is liquid water, there is a strong possibility of life.
This makes us wonder if we’re on the brink of “finding” life – or finally being told about it – in our own solar system, and what that would mean for the existence of life throughout the cosmos. But is this really a new and profound discovery, or is it a controlled release of information, prepping us for a larger disclosure?

An Evolution of Ancient Astronaut Theory's Proof and Proponents
Religion molds many people’s worldview and beliefs about our origin as a species. From a young age, and even as we grow older, we tend to hold on to aspects of those stories – many of which involve magic or divine phenomena. But as technology has progressed over those years, things that once seemed magical, now make perfect sense and fall within the widening realm of possibility. And as our modern worldview has become shaped by this techno-centric, materialist scope, the ancient astronaut theory has found an increasingly larger audience.
If you’re not familiar with Gaia’s content, maybe you’ve seen the program Ancient Aliens on History Channel, or possibly read Erich von Däniken’s classic book Chariots of the Gods? These series are founded on the ancient astronaut hypothesis; the assertion that if you reinterpret biblical accounts of supernatural gods with magic powers instead, as members of an advanced extraterrestrial race with advanced technology, their depictions make a lot more sense.
Arthur C. Clarke famously made this contention later when he said, “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” And though it’s unclear whether Clarke ascribed to the belief, it’s likely he would have at least entertained it.
