Well, so we have an existence proof that those really important building blocks are

nucleic acids are in outer space.

So the law of parsimony says it probably came here from outer space or came here and we co-evolved them.

See, what we're finding in anthropology, when it looks at how did humans get to be humans where they are, it's turning out that

It's unbelievably complicated.

There were many waves of migration out of Africa before and after Homo sapiens.

There was interbreeding between Denisovans and Neanderthals and, you know, Cro-Magnon and, you know, Homo erectus.

And it's like we're this mongrelized, weird mishmash hybrid of a lot of different interbreeding.

And so there is no clean, simple story of how modern humans came to be modern humans.

You're European in background, so you have probably 3% Neanderthal genes, as do I. Well, she's really an alien.

I don't know how many.

But I think the point is that I think what we're going to find is that in the origin of life on Earth, it's going to be messy, complicated, a mishmash of a zillion different things.

So I think if you sum up what both of us said about where we come down on UFOs, it isn't one phenomenon.

It's multiple.

Some of it might be understandable within our current science.

Some of it almost certainly is not.

But bottom line, it's real.

There is some tiny percent that's absolutely real and science should take it seriously.

We should do a lot more hardcore research into that subject.

Well, I think that any scientist who is worth their salt will tell you there's so much more that we don't know.
