Perhaps, before you post such articles, you should post some
detailing the origins scenario you are attempting to defend.
Then, perhaps, you should present some reason why your observational
aspects lead to that scenario.

If all you can do is present observational aspects consistent
with a non-natural hypothesis, rather than inconsistent with
a natural hypothesis, then you must show why your scenario is
preferable to the currently held majority opinion.

That is, you must if you are trying to be scientific.  If you
are among those who are trying to use politics to push your religion
on the rest of us, do let us know, so we adjust our response
accordingly.
