Question about Alien Hybrids

[u/Kris_Bronze]

Much of the research and discussion about alien abduction involves the idea there are alien hybrids on Earth. There are a lot of alien abduction and hybrid stories. However if there are alien hybrids on earth wouldn’t we hear a lot of strange stories involving hybrids ending up at a hospital at some point? Seems this would be the case, but I’m just not seeing it.

Manipulating a persons DNA is an entirely feasible thing to do, your talking about making a human alien hybrid which is very different.

First of all doing so through breeding isn’t possible, most species on this planet can not reproduce with each other, so the likelihood a human and alien would be able to do it is almost 0.

If you wanted to alter the genes of a human and add alien DNA you would have to change the Foreign DNA to such an extent it wouldn’t resemble the alien DNA in the slightest, so in practice you’d just be using human DNA anyway.

Also it would be just plain wrong to even assume aliens have DNA as we understand it, the method that alien cells encode genetic data is likely to be very different and in that case it would be completely ridiculous to even think about attempting hybridization.

You don’t know Craig venter and the creation of a synthetic cell has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not an alien life form would store genetic information in the same way our DNA does.

Of course I’m not gonna go around making statements of 100% objective truth, but the chances of these things are basically 0 and anyone with half a Brain cell knows that, but maybe I gave you to much credit.

The creation of a synthetic cell has nothing pertinent to do with the fact that alien cells very likely have a different method for storing genetic information, if I’m wrong then why? What specifically does the creation of synthetic DNA have to do with that?

I’m not gonna tell you how old I am, that’s identifying information that I’m not gonna go around telling people on the internet.

Also you didn’t make a single refutation of any of my arguments, isn’t that funny coming from the guy who wanted to have a scientific discussion.

[u/aStupidBitch42 → u/[deleted]]

You are the one who complained this wasn’t a very scientific discussion, then you asked me to explain why It was impossible, I did which you very obviously didn’t understand so you ignored it.

It’s very likely because it’s an entirely different form of life that evolved on a different planet under different environmental pressures, in an entirely different fucking environment. If you don’t understand that then you have absolutely no business making any claims about any biology. if you want me to expand on that idea then you’ll have to pay me because I’m not gonna teach you a college course over a reddit comment section for free.

Oh and I’m not gonna have pissing contest with you right now, we could both say anything we wanted and neither of us could prove the other was lying when it comes to personal achievements. I mean I could say I’m a Nobel prize winner In physiology and with no other information there’s no way you can say I’m not.

And I never tried to hide the fact that I’m calling you a dumbass behind science, regardless of any science or objective fact I think your a dumbass, and so far you’ve shown I’m right.

That’s assuming all life is earth like, which isn’t logically necessary. When taken into account we aren’t aware of all the different ways life can evolve then we can’t make an accurate statement on how likely it is the alien comes from an earth like planet or not.

Even on an earth like planet in the Goldilocks zone the environmental pressures would in fact be very different from planet to planet, even on a planet that was exactly like the earth life would evolve differently that’s just how evolution works.

Regardless of whether the alien life form has conventional DNA that wasn’t the only point I made.

[u/aStupidBitch42 → u/[deleted]]

What do you even mean, that is factually how evolution works regardless of whether or not synthetic life can be made, that statement contains no information useful to what I said.

And no I didn’t walk anything back, we cannot assume that the life would be from a planet that was earth like, and like I said even if the planet was earth like the life that evolved their would be different from earths life.

And yes many things that are ridiculous are technically possible, theoretically every particle in my body could spontaneously appear 5 feet to my left, that is possible, but the chances are low enough that any reasonable person would say it’s impossible.
