Why would this be such an implasuible consideration? or does it just threaten the status quo?

This possiblity (in my opinion) does not negate the exisitence of GOD or the teaching of the bible and it may actually support it.
Any thoughts

It is indeed possible, though the theological side of the question is not really my field. Edward von Daniken certainly did propose that God (him?)self may have been an alien race from somewhere in the galaxy. Archeaological remains from Tihuanaco may indeed have been 'energy channels' for a space ship landing site, although this has been greatly disputed since the 1960s when Daniken published "The Stars like us". There are many commercial spin-offs from such thought, the peculiarly Orien-esque configuration of most of the great pyramids and their satellite pyramids in Ancient Egypt providing much of the inspiration for the Stargate TV series. In answer to your question, we can certainly see a great deal of historians' latent bias and see an psychological insight into it in the fact that most of these idioms portray the Earthlings as just that, rather than humans being aliens themselves to this planet. It's an interesting idea though, even though we love to patronise ourselves in our thoughts about our origins. Here's a question for you, which comes from Mars, animal or plant life?

If it were possible, does it matter? If humans do have their origin in outer space, yet we have no way of knowing how or finding out why, what does it matter? If there were evidence supporting the possibility of man having his origin in another planet, where is it? I'm not saying that it isn't plausible, but think about it. It does threaten the status quo to suggest that man has his origin from outer space, and (as far as I know) there is little evidence to prove it. If there were a conventional way to prove that man is not of this earth, then people would believe it. The problem is that there is not yet any conventional way of finding evidence for this (if there is, I apologize, but it apparently isn't very convincing). I believe that it is easier to think that we slowly evolved on this planet than that we were transported from another. That may be the influence of my social upbringing, but since I know nothing else, what else can I rely on?

No. The fact that the human genome is so similar (98.77%) to our closest relative (chimpanzee) with whom we share a relatively recent (5 million years ago) common ancestor, as predicted by the hominid fossil record negates any extraterrestrial origin for humans.

If humans were from some other planet, all other life would also have to be from the same planet, since all our DNA is connected. Some people have argued for a cosmic origin of life. Look up "panspermia".

Early on, yes. There is plenty of reason to think that the intrusion of extraterrestrial chemicals combined with the early amino acids on earth to form the first single-cell organisms. But, if you are asking about alien life forms coming to earth (like Scientology BS, etc.) then, not likely.

NO. We are designed for this planet only. We did it ourselves, over eons of time, and do not fit into any other atmosphere or planet situation.

As spirits, we evolved into our physical states for the experience of being 'solid' and for the feeling!

We return every night like good little kids, and finally leave when we have our body buried or cremated! Then we return again! for more experiences and value fullfillment.

Both from a religious sense, and non-religious sense, that would be possible. From a non-religious stance, I think that it would be very unlikely. Why would aliens start life on Earth and then leave? Or have they left?

Naw, I don't think it supports Scripture at all but I sometimes I think my brother may have originated from another planet!

nah, we aren't aliens form star trek or anything. This is our home here on earth and it alwys has been if you look way back into history. Besides, we would've gone back by now with alot less hassle.
