the idea that we humans are the product of some essential part of our space fathers' grand design is just typical of the importance that many humans erroneously attach to humanity.

while i do see your point, i kinda see it the other way.
the fact that we're just the waste product from an emergency mining expedition makes us SO MUCH LESS important and special, and actually makes our mere being on this planet kinda detrimental to said planet.

While it may seem counterintuitive, even this is just another spin on an old human pipe dream -- the Golden Age. Even if we were just disposable, souped-up monkeys doing our masters' bidding, we were part of Something Bigger Than Us.
The "ancient alien" dummies don't like to talk about it, but the fact is that believing that ancient myths can be explained by extraterrestrial intervention in human history requires a leap of faith at least as high and broad as it does to just take the myths at face value.
