| Might be just my own view but biological systems seem like a bad idea for a probe.
Even if you do something like what Genomic SETI is looking for you run a huge risk of your message being corrupted. It is also highly inefficient and takes millions or billions of years, if ever, to evolve an intelligent species capable of making more probes.
It is highly unlikely we are anyone's creation.

"These were actually inspired from scenes I found in Space Engine." -some stupid guy on the internet.

| Don't have a link but it was some animation or video that was cut and edited from Cosmos. Simply took a few frames from before he points, duplicated, and reversed them.

| Quote Watsisname (  ) Maybe we are the probes. Sufficiently advanced self-replicating machines could be indistinguishable from life.
Very patient aliens, then.
The probes could easily seed planets with primitive life, though. So if such probes have been made, life could be very common in the galaxy.

Was mostly being facetious.  While the mechanisms of abiogenesis are still not completely understood, I think we understand enough of it to be pretty sure that life here arose by natural processes. Or maybe was seeded elsewhere through panspermia if you're into that idea.

Can't see any comments about it in that section.
Nice video, anyway. A kind of 1984 look to it, or a 30's sci-fi. Seems to be student work.

Not really, but it's an interesting thought whether it would be noticeable in the geological record if somebody "aided" evolution a bit along the way, for instance caused the Cambrian explosion.
