I really want to believe but give me a break. 100% unsubstantiated words on a message board that any graduate level biochem student could come up with over a weekend. This isn't some amazing information that's too awesome to be a larp. Let's review a couple things. I know for a fact that Julian should be a smart enough sceptic to see through this nonsense.
7. Some EBO genes are the same as humans and other animals!
This may sound like an amazing revelation to anyone that doesn't know a god damned thing about biology, but any decent bio student learns pretty early on that all living organisms already share thousands of genes. This little bullet point was probably inspired by some guy's first week of notes in Sophomore Genetics.
8. Speaks of the heterogeneity of these genes as "undeniable proof" of EBO's.
First of all, the author mixes up hetero- and homogeneity. Probably forgot to check his genetics notes before writing this one up. Also, you would have to offer up undeniable proof that this genome existed and it's origin before you could proclaim it's undeniable proof of an EBO.
17. Waste system, ammonia through the skin.
Wow! You mean just like all fishes in Earth but instead of secreted through the gills they do it through their skin. Lazy cut and paste from Freshman Bio I.
18. "It is strongly believed they consume food in liquid form"
Strongly believed by who? This is clear language manipulation to create a veneer of authority out of thin air where none exists. It's very clever and will work on most people, even those of us with above average IQ's.
23. "The hypothesis is that they were created to....".
Whose hypothesis exactly? Anonymous dude on Reddit? Again, more manipulative language to trick people's brains into assuming there is some authority behind these statements.
The other bullet points are just typical boiler plate, "I want to believe" sci-fi.
