I always liked, as a kid, the explanation that something was too complex
for us mere humans to create that we had to borrow the technology from
aliens. It makes for interesting stories with really absurd devices.

But to look at the things we have made, and still be able to say "Humans
aren't capable of making that from scratch," seems to be either
intentionally insulting or very egotistical. The first because they know
better and just prefer to think aliens did it, the latter because they
can not understand it themselves so no one else would be able to either.

Mine too. Now, if only I could reverse engineer this mind-control-ray, I
could convince everyone that the moon landing was not faked.
