Article: Could an alien message be embedded in our genetic code?
http://news.discovery.com/space/alie...ode-130401.htm
"Vladimir I. shCherbak of al-Farabi Kazakh National University of Kazakhstan, and Maxim A. Makukov of the Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute, hypothesize that an intelligent signal embedded in our genetic code would be a mathematical and semantic message that cannot be accounted for by Darwinian evolution. They call it “biological SETI.” What’s more, they argue that the scheme has much greater longevity and chance of detecting E.T. than a transient extraterrestrial radio transmission.
Writing in the journal Icarus, they assert: “Once fixed, the code might stay unchanged over cosmological timescales; in fact, it is the most durable construct known. Therefore it represents an exceptionally reliable storage for an intelligent signature. Once the genome is appropriately rewritten the new code with a signature will stay frozen in the cell and its progeny, which might then be delivered through space and time.”
To pass the designer label test, any patterns in the genetic code must be highly statistically significant and possess intelligent-like features that are inconsistent with any natural know process, say the authors."

Re: Article: Could an alien message be embedded in our genetic code?
SETI is a waste of time, and money- front for comm that has been going on for a very, long time. ET's prefer quantum means of communication, and gnosive meaning what we call "telepathic."
Yes, of course information is in our DNA. It's a nice hypothesis but it will never see light of day in genuine research because the entire subject matter is locked down.

True, but it is always good as far as I'm concerned when mainstream scientific publications address the possibility that we were genetically engineered by ETs and that studying our genome might show indications of this.

Yes! I like the hints left around. And I am glad mainstream shows them.
Just makes me sad they won't be fleshed out unless, by someone high up (or groups of them) decided to "approve" funding and public exposure...which WILL happen eventually.

Did you read the article? Did you read the PDF file I linked to? Thoughts?

Seti ??? searching for ET out there, dang it , go look in the mirror, you are their decendants, wanna see a Lyrian ??? go look in the mirror, if you find dark hair and dark eyes, bingo you found a Lyrian , like the mona lisa on the moon ... wanna see a plejaren ??? if you see blue / hazel eyes and light colored hair bingo you found a decendant of the plejaren ... searching out there for something that stares at us in the mirror everyday ... hmmmmm... I see ET's all the time = everytime I look at the forum members pictures ... We have more DNA than any other race out there, we are a mix of all of them, the message is ... WE ARE WHAT THEY WILL BECOME ...

This article is not really about SETI. Forget SETI, alright? This is what it's about:
Quote:
"They go on to argue that their detailed analysis that the human genome (map here) displays a thorough precision-type orderliness in the mapping between DNA’s nucleotides and amino acids. “Simple arrangements of the code reveal an ensemble of arithmetical and ideographical patterns of symbolic language.” They say this includes the use of decimal notation, logical transformations, and the use of the abstract symbol of zero. “Accurate and systematic, these underlying patterns appear as a product of precision logic and nontrivial computing,” they assert.
This interpretation leads them to a farfetched conclusion: that the genetic code, “appears that it was invented outside the solar system already several billions years ago.” This statement endorses the idea of panspermia, the hypothesis that Earth was seeded with interstellar life. It’s certainly a novel and bold approach to galaxy conquest if we imagine this was a deliberate Johnny Appleseed endeavor by super-beings."

Hi,
This theory has been featured in recent edition of NewScientist magazine:

Thanks :)
