These eleven articles are in sequential order for a purpose. While theorizing on each subject, the main theme and intention throughout is to tell a story from beginning to present. Therefore the story becomes the theory. It proposes that many thousands of years ago an advanced civilization visited earth, originally intending to colonize our planet. Only something went wrong.

Whatever this problem was, it appears to have forced these colonists to change their tactics. Why didn't they just go back home? Were they stranded, or did they choose their predicament? There are plenty of resources on earth. The ability to survive is not an issue. So why did they need to create humans? Were the 'gods' just lazy, and only wanted servants?

Ancient legends older than the bible tell of a civilization of 'gods'. They told of 'gods' pursuing great achievements. Enjoying life. Indulging in their personal vices. The stories say these 'gods' warred with one another. Some 'gods' won, and others lost. Were these the colonists? If the legends are real events, whatever became of these 'gods'? What happened after their wars? There had to be survivors. Did the good completely obliterate evil? Looking around today, it is obvious that evil is still with us. Usually when a society conquers another in war, the victors dominate over the defeated. If there was a victorious side, where are they? It is almost like humans are left in charge of our own destinies.

Ancient religious texts claim that the 'gods' left our planet, promising to return. Why? Was good defeated? Where did they go? What is to become of their creations, us? These are just a few of the mysteries these articles attempt to explain. I may be completely wrong, but it makes as much sense as anything scientific theory or religious belief can come up with. The plain fact of the matter is none of us can prove a thing, and it doesn't take a degree in higher education to figure that out.

There are no answers here. A layman cannot explain technical possibilities. Instead, these articles look at it from the 'creators' perspective. Not from the viewpoint of the created. It is only speculation in hopes that it may provide a platform for further discussion.

This theory is also the basis of my unpublished novel Left to Our Own Devices and Short Sci-Fi Stories told from the ancient astronauts' perspective.

1. Introduction/Science and Religion The author justifies a layman's perspective, and an introduction. Proposing that a simple layman's opinions make as much sense as the 'theories' accepted by the formally educated. There is also an introduction on the overall religious vs. science theory. Both science and religion conflict with each other on fundamental beliefs. One insists that a mysterious supreme being created humans in the past. The other side insists that humans evolved, and we control our own destinies. If each side were to cooperate and combine their notes, what they may find is that a new explanation emerges. Could both sides be right?	7. The Aftermath Of God's War Many ancient texts mention wars between the gods. They may have been technically advanced but apparently they still had the emotional capacity to wage volatile disagreements, just like we do. So who were the victors of these wars? What happened afterwards? Why aren't they still around? Were humans around during their wars? If we were, what role did we play? There is even a possibility that their technically advanced wars may have damaged the earth. Causing natural upheavals on the planet surface. The bible calls it the flood, but it could have been much more than that.
2. Aliens This puts forth a new theory about little green or gray men. Most ancient manuscripts never mention little green men. These aliens are more of a recent phenomenon. If you were an advanced civilization wanting to keep an eye on humans and your enemies, how could it be done without risking any lives? What if these little green creatures are not intelligent beings after all? What if they are just bio organisms created to monitor the earth? If creating humans is possible, creating something far less intelligent should be a breeze!	8. The Neolithic Age According to the accepted scientific timetable several ancient civilizations emerged around the same time. For 190,000 years humans were eating twigs and groveling in caves. Then for a period of seven thousand years humans quickly evolved. This period is known as the Neolithic Age. Suddenly civilizations thousand of miles apart began to organize. Cohabitation. Domestication. Cultivation. The Sumerians are considered to be the oldest, but Egyptians and Greeks among others emerged within a thousand years or so. A mere three thousand years later these cultures will erect grand cities made of stone. Is this just a coincidence?
3. Religion The bible and other ancient manuscripts tell fanciful tales of gods and other supreme beings living among us in the distant past. Most of these stories are now considered exaggerations or myths. With today's technical accomplishments it is difficult not to. What if the stories are actually true, only the words became mangled in translation or misinterpreted? What if science -and a new perspective- could shed light on these ancient stories? It could provide a believable explanation, guiding people towards faith in the lessons. It is what religion wants in the first place isn't it? Are the details so important? This examines how religious stories make sense if seen through scientific eyes.	9. The Hebrew God This is about the concept of a singular God. It does not accuse or blame, because the concept is completely logical. For a wandering society of recently freed and irrational humans searching for a new home. Are there other reasons why God helped the ancient Hebrews, and insisted on a singular god? The Israelites were desperate and wandering in the wilderness. They were a mass of people who now looked to a single supreme being for aide. Could a God as compassionate as this, possibly be doing the same thing elsewhere for others that are in need? In all likelihood this logical question was understandably never asked.
4. Scientific Theories Science seemingly has a way of making theories appear factual, and yet they are still only theories. There is no actual proof. The ironic thing is that these are the same accusations that science judges religion on. Old artifacts and ancient manuscripts are propped up as proof, but the further you go back in time, you realize it is all mostly theory. Theory is not fact. The point of this article is to examine how ancient texts can help to provide answers for science's unexplainable questions. From there it will open new doors. First science must lower its defenses and learn to compromise. Scientists keep insisting that there is life beyond our solar system. They spend millions of dollars to monitor space on a daily basis. Yet they do not accept that one of these civilizations are smart enough to have been here before. What's up with that?	10. The Human Story This is a summarization of the ancient astronaut colonists, and how the human story runs parallel with theirs. It summarizes the theory of how and why the colonists modified natural planetoid beings to rectify several possible problems with their mission. As the colony struggles to survive, their actions in turn affect humans. The human story emerges from these actions, and leads to speculation of why they left.
5. Human Creation Human beings evolved naturally. Humans are a creation of a supreme being. Which one is right? Scientifically the theory of evolution makes sense to a certain point, the 'missing link'. Maybe some day they will find one extremely rare example to show us as proof. Okay. Everybody hold your breath … now! God came from heaven and created man (humans). Why or how is not important, He just did. As the story of our ancient colonists continues, this article examines possible reasons why they may have had to create humans. More importantly, were they happy with the results?	11. God's Watchful Eyes Whether it is a supreme being or an ancient astronaut, the 'creator' is obviously not with us anymore. They promised to return but we are left on our own for the time being. What do they expect of us? If they were indeed stranded, where could they go? Is it possible that they did not leave, but merely relocated to a place close by? What did they do with their enemies? If they imprisoned them here on earth it means that our planet is a prison. Guards are required for a prison. And what about the quickly evolving humans? You never know what they will do. It would make sense to monitor any changes that may occur on the planet. The question is, how?
6. Humans and God Coexisting Did humans live amongst the gods? Ancient myths and legends far older than the bible indicate that this may be possible. If this civilization created (modified) us, what role did humans play in their lives? Most of the oldest legends or myths never mention humans. Humans do not emerge in the stories until later on. What did they think about their new creations? Religion believes that humans are seemingly more important to God than even the 'angels' or other humanoid apparitions. Are humans really so important in the lives of the creator(s)? Could it be that they have more important issues to concern themselves with?
