In another article, we discussed the possibility that Earth is a prison planet with the Moon as its guardian. Suddenly, Dr. Ellis Silver stipulates a theory that corroborates the prison part of that article.
All of these theories are based on the differences between man and all the other species that inhabit the planet. Dr. Silver’s theory focuses on the claim that mankind is not suited to live on this planet, along with behavioral patterns that suggest as if we are here as a sort of punishment.
We will discuss Silver’s observations in conjunction with the rest of the theories in order to extract a conclusion. The basic elements of all the theories put together are:
Silver claims that the problems that spine and back problems humans face are a clear indication that our original environment is one of lower gravity. Earth’s higher gravity puts a strain in our skeleton and the result is the back pains.
Humans, in contrast with other species, cannot sunbathe for more than a given time per day without getting sunburned. According to Silver, this indicates that the human body was not designed for constant exposure to the sun.
Dr. Silver stipulates that humans are always ill because they evolved on a 25 hour per day environment instead of 24 as on Earth, and they have not adapted yet. The older theories add to this concept than in many cases, when there is an illness, humans are disabled and cannot carry out their workload, which rarely occurs in the other species.
Many people have a profound dislike for all foods that are naturally grown. An equal amount of people do not feel that Earth is their home.
Many have reported visions and dreams of other worlds with other circumstances and other living conditions much better than even the best conditions available on Earth. Dr. Silver sees is as an even further indication of human beings been brought here from someplace else.
Babies’ heads are too large, which presents a problem to women when there are giving birth, a problem which may result in fatalities to both the mother and the infant.
Dr. Silver does not mention this point, which is a major issue for the older theories. In all species that inhabit the Earth, the offspring is capable of doing things in a relatively short time, which may vary from just a few minutes to eight weeks after birth.
Human offspring are completely helpless and powerless to do anything for at least ten years before acquiring some capabilities. It takes another five to ten years before it can perform the duties and the requirements of carrying their weight around. Something that is never seen in all other species put together.
The human being does something that no other species has been observed doing – we use external tools to overcome our physical shortcomings. Has anyone ever seen an elephant with an artificial leg? Or an owl wearing real glasses?
Lions and the other carnivores will hunt to eat and they will engage in fights almost always for reasons of reproduction. Most fights in the animal kingdom are actually for reproduction and areas for feeding. And whenever there is a fight, when the victor is declared, the fight is over.
There is no observance in any other species than the human being for retaliatory attacks, pre-emptive strikes, and most of all weapon construction in ever-increasing lethal potential. Unless anyone has ever seen a mouse with an M-16 at hand and never bothered to inform anyone about it.
As stated by a World War II journalist in condemnation of mankind: “People kill each other because they like to.” (Ernie Pyle, war correspondent – responding to a question posed by Maj. General John P. Lucas).
He went on to say that when someone kills someone else, he lives that moment more vividly than any other moment of his life. At that specific moment, he is more than he will ever be again. Has anyone ever observed this kind of behavior in any other species?
Dr. Silver puts this issue into mankind being sent to a prison-like Earth until we learn to behave ourselves. It seems that after 4,000 years of recorded history, things are getting worse, not better.
The book that Dr. Silver published, as per his own words, is not a study, but ideas for debate. Strangely, this book resonates with other controversial theories like:
These theories will be discussed along with their features in future articles. The focus on this one is whether there is validity to the claim that we did not evolve on this planet.
As expected, the theory was met with criticism and skepticism from other scientists. For example, Dr. Silver completely neglects the fact that humans share a big percentage of their DNA with other living beings on Earth.
But there were also favorable opinions like the one of Prof Milton Wainwright of the University of Sheffield. According to him, life is constantly brought to Earth from other worlds.
In any case, Dr. Silver’s arguments are rather weak and should be perceived more as an extravagant idea to entertain one’s mind rather than solid evidence.
Until science finds irrefutable proof as to the origin of mankind, there will always be evidence and circumstances in favor of one theory or another. But it is beyond any reasonable doubt that man is quite a different species than any other on this planet. Science will have to prove why.

I believe humans and the related sub types may have been the result of genetic experimentation, whereby the genetic material of a higher intelligence/alien was crossed with indigenous Earthly species, such as the primates (we share a lot of DNA and common physical features with some of them) and perhaps a pig (we have their pink skin, big noses and our internal organs are layed out almost identically). This is why we are so much more advanced than any other species on Earth despite not being here nearly as long.
This earth was made for us. Our pre-earth life shows that we are made with what scientists now call "dark matter." We are here on a probation to prove what we choose. This is the most evil planet in this universe. There is a veil which separates us from other worlds, and other people in the universe, to protect those people from us. We were made to have joy and enjoy each day, to lovingly care for each other. We were made with love, and this earth is not a prison. No guardian moon is necessary. Those who placed us in the bodies our mothers made for us have done this since the beginning of earth time. The earth,our bodies, the wonders of the world were made for us. The other creatures of this world were made as part of our "learning experience." Other creatures on this earth are not here to learn from us, but to help us learn, and they do so at their peril. Creatures of the earth have chosen to help us and know how terrible we can be. We truly are children of the universe, and not matured very much at all. It behooves us to choose well, does it not? We must pass this life test. Being free from our bodies after death is a bondage. Being reunited with our bodies is a freedom,if we choose well.
Dr Silver is either insane or trying to make a career out of exploiting the ignorant dunning-kreugers who think they understand nature and the universe without spending any time actually learning about either. Prison planet? Maybe. But the 'evidence' presented is either misinterpreted or just downright wrong. Professor Wainwrights discovery involves small particles of biological matter arriving from space, a perfectly reasonable idea which may or may not turn out to be correct. This is very different from large (human sized) lifeforms being transported here by aliens. I'm relieved so many people aren't buying into this drivel.
I know for a fact I was born here so this is my home. I think the universe has always existed and current life forms exist on multiple planets. There may even be planets out there crawling with dinosaurs similar to Earth 60 million years ago. There may be oxygen rich planets with giant bugs. The possiblities are limitles. I think aliens brought some species here. I think we're here to grow, get smarter. I know that this planet is our home, and we must protect it.
I'm sorry to say that while I believe in many levels of being this article is nothing but speculative horse-do-do.
Bad backs? that's from sitting down too much.
Sunlight? does the author know of black people?
Illness: Humans are always ill - JUST WRONG.
Dislike of Earth? Wouldn't we all feel it? How come I've never met anyone like that and most people I know love the earth?
Birth difficulty? How would this be different on another planet?
Growing Up? "It takes another five to ten years before it can perform the duties and the requirements of carrying their weight around." WHAT? My one year old nephew is walking.
Advances: Many other animals have been observed using tools, even if they haven't, how do you leap to the conclusion we are from another planet?
Weapon use: Monkeys have been recorded throwing stones, using sticks as weapons.
We may well be from another planet, but this article is spurious nonsense and fails comprehensively to suggest any credible proof of the theory.
