** I just came in, I'm alien like most creatures on this planet.
The policy to kill everything that doesn't look and think like yourself is
strictly 'human'. The aliens have no reason to kill us, other than
frustration - I, mean, they made us in the first place, and have seen their
experiment turn into cancer through thousands of years. It would be quite
understandable if they couldn't resist an urge to end the disaster, but as
suggested above: if that was their plan, they could and probably would have
done so already.
They made us? Yes, that's where the DNA mix comes in. Why shouldn't the
aliens be able to make their DNA mix with that of early Man, trying to
create a race intelligent enough to boost evolution and gain x million
years? The experiment as such succeeded only too well, as the remarkable
mental achievements of the inhabitants of this planet shows.
Unfortunately, the brain developed too fast, so Man's moral status, needed
to control the 'brainstorm', had no chance to keep up. A slow, natural
development would have let mind and 'heart' adjust to each other, in which
case we might still be pondering whether or not to taste that notorious
forbidden fruit...
The question why the aliens don't "just kill us cleanly, quicker, and
probably cheaper" can only evolve in a mind incapable of contemplation - a
biological computer, nothing more. Not even the simplest logic is used: If
everyone's got to die, who cares if it's clean? (The aliens could go back to
where they came from, leaving the stinkin' mess behind them.) Why would
quicker be better? If they have watched OUR killing for millenia, why should
THEY hurry? And where does cheaper fit in - cheaper than what? If the aliens
have access to unlimited energy, they're not paying anyway. Besides, the
criteria clean, quick and cheap in connection with the elimination of
people, was exactly what Hitler wanted...
