That's why I said at least partially

I am! You might be right about everything and they might all be man made. I am at least reasonable enough to accept that and I am pretty sure I have stated that already???
I don't think I ever claimed they were all man made. I'm just trying to find out why you think that non-human origins are worth considering at all.

I am open to the fact that they might be ALL man made. You are not open to the fact that something else could be responsible. I have been open minded the entire time..
Where have I given any indication that I am not open to any possibilities? You know what they say about assuming things...

proof or no proof it really doesn't matter becuase neither side can say for sure what is and what isn't.
This is a very typical statement of a pseudo scientific thought process. That there is no "smoking gun" does NOT mean all possibilities have equal merit. I return to my horse, zebra, unicorn example. I rolled out that example for reason, to try to illustrate that not all possibilities have equal merit.

The question is why you think any non-human origin has enough merit to be worth serious consideration.
