Recent contribution
Hi there. I removed a recent edit that you added in the article on Earth.
It is worth noting that it's a very strongly established scientific fact that humans come from Earth. All life on Earth is closely related, and has been here for billions of years -- as has been revealed by DNA sequencing done after the original Galactica. Indeed humans share over a quarter of their genes with Earth plants. A story depicting Earth humanity as descended from a tribe from another planet would be in serious contradiction with scientific reality. Of course, this sometimes happens in SF TV.
The scientist's findings have a bias in that we haven't anything (or anywhere) to compare their results to. While I understand that genetics connect the human race, official sources for the show indicate that viewers must not assume that the Earth in the series is that of our relative past, present, or future. Therefore we should not make inappropriate speculation until the series writers define more for us. You might want to visit the Sacred Scrolls article for what other contributors have derived regarding the multi-exodus theory based on what's been presented in the show thus far. --Spencerian 15:38, 27 October 2006 (CDT)
