We don’t know of any habitable world, which may be a reason we haven’t contacted them. However, folks have taken on research what to say to them in a language they haven’t heard of. .

SETI Institute researchers use to scan the skies for possible signals from ET. SETI Institute senior astronomer Seth Shostak will be the head of the project. of the 'Library of the Great Silence', where also extraterristrials can say what they think. if they exists.

South African shark fishers have found the coelacanth, a living fossil

 

The Coelacanth was once thought to be the first fish to walk – though it doesn’t have legs.

A group of South African shark hunters have unwittingly rediscovered a population of fish predating dinosaurs that many in the scientific community believed to be extinct.

The "four-legged fossil fish" known as the coelacanth has been found alive and well in the West Indian Ocean off the coast of Madagascar, according to a report from the nonprofit environmental conservation platform Mongabay News.

According to evolutionists, the fish lived some 420 million years ago, but then in 1938 the first living coelacanth was discovered. Now, they are being captured by fishermen catching sharks.

Biologists just captured a scale-tipping 109 kilograms or 240-pounds  sturgeon measuring 2.1 meters or  6 feet 10 inches) in length in the Detroit River in Michigan. The enormous fish, which is likely a female and could be more than 100 years old, is believed to be one of the largest of its kind ever caught in the U.S., according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). 

 While in the wild, sturgeons can live between 50 and 90 years, females can be slightly bigger and older. The captured one was a female.

Sturgeon look very similar to their prehistoric ancestors and have a distinct shark-like tail and rows of armored plates called “scutes” for protection. These characteristics, combined with their large size, give the fish their monstrous appearance; but they are actually completely harmless to humans.

Some ancient fish, for example the coelacanth, have also been recently seen alive in Madagascar. They where assumed to be be over 400 million years old.

Human origins is a Big Mess

After publishing in Science, In this press release the senior author of the new study, Sergio Almécija, a senior research scientist at the American Museum of Natural History, is also quoted as offering this remarkable admission: “When you look at the narrative for hominin origins, it’s just a big mess — there’s no consensus whatsoever.”

As Gunthr Bechly said,  That is a fair assessment. It does not mean that these evolutionary speculations are all wrong or futile enterprises. However, it at least shows that those bold hardcore Darwinists, who think they can dismiss and rebuke Darwin critics and ID proponents with some grandiose claims of allegedly settled science, are not just vastly overstating their case but indeed are ignorant of the current state of the scientific debate. The question of human origins is far from being resolved and non-mainstream options should be explored based exclusively on the available evidence, rather than being rejected due to world-view bias.

Yes, the Scientific answer to the question of who was before us is s not fought in the Darwinian era.

Scientists have found non-skeletal corals growing from the stalks of marine animals known as crinoides, or sea lilies, on the floor of the Pacific Ocean, off the coasts of Honshu and Shikoku in Japan, They disappeared from the fossilrecord for hundreds of million years.

They disappeared from the fossil record around 273 million years ago, after the specific crinoids and corals in question went extinct.

Now, we have seen two different species of coral - hexacorals of the genera Abyssoanthus, which is very rare, and Metridioidea, a type of sea anemone - growing from the stems of living Japanese sea lilies (Metacrinus rotundus).
