Our genes are a kind of “manufacturer's brand” created billions of years ago somewhere in our galaxy. This opinion is shared by some scientists, including Vladimir Shcherbak from the National University of Kazakhstan Al-Farabi and Maxim Makukov from the V. G. Fesenkov Institute of Astrophysics.
They believe that our genetic code contains a message that cannot be deciphered if we adhere to Darwin's theory of evolution. If it is possible to decipher this message, then, according to the hypothesis, it will be possible to detect alien life in an easier way than by transmitting radio signals into space.
The relatively new hypothesis is also called the biological program for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence ("biological SETI"), thus referring to the existing project for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence - SETI.
“This code was set once and may not change for many years. This is the most long-term information we know of. And it is the stigma of an alien civilization in our genetic code that confirms the existence of intelligent life besides us. If you rewrite the genome, the information will remain fixed until further changes and can travel in time and space,”the authors of the idea report in the Icarus magazine.
Scientists have analyzed the human genome in detail and made a map. It shows a clear order of DNA nucleotides and amino acids. A simple and clear structure of the genetic code may indicate that this is information recorded in a certain language of symbols. The code includes a decimal system, logical modifications and an abstract designation of zero.
Such a harmonious system is the result of logical thinking and non-trivial calculus, scientists are sure. As a result of the analyzes and calculations carried out, scientists have come to the conclusion that the code was written somewhere far beyond the solar system many billions of years ago. And this, in turn, is an argument in favor of panspermia - a hypothesis that life was brought to Earth from space.
Note that there is also an assumption that the Universe as we see it is just a computer program created by some extraterrestrial civilization. As part of this program, the creators could also work on our genetic code, which is consistent with the assumption of Shcherbak and Makukov.
It is also worth adding that all hypotheses about a possible "alien code" are part of the concept of creationism. And she, as you know, makes you wonder who created those who created us.
