For quite some time, I have believed everything that you just said, is quite possible and not at all out of the realm of being reality.
Downright shame if it is true and we weren't told. And in the event that it is NOT true, imagine where we would be as a people if we stopped the wars and worked together on some Kumbaya shit. After 50 years of pooling resources and technological advancements, we should be a multi-planetary species, or at the very least, much much closer to being one than we are now. Boggles my mind.
