Did they say when they first started seeing the abbies? I find it hard to believe that this guy could not only figure out a genetic evolution (or devolving as the case may be) and its endgame a thousand years in the future, but then be able to convince the government enough to sanction basically kidnapping folks, freezing them, and then covering it up (it seemed like the Secret Service was in cahoots with him since they were obviously trying to cover up his wreck).

There's got to be more to this than just cryogenic chambers and devolution. I just don't see the government going along with this based solely on one guy predicting the end of the human race that won't probably happen for hundreds, if not thousands of years.

No sooner did I ask questions than they get answered.

So the Doc, Sheriff & Nurse are/were all in on this from the earliest days? I wonder how they all tie together (especially the Sheriff since he didn't seem to have any medical experience).

We know the Abbies were around by 2095 (the date on the coin). I think that's a good approximate time to use for when they showed up (maybe go back another 50 years or so to give them time to grow their numbers enough to become an extinction-level threat). I'm willing to bet ol Doc is the one that created them in the first place.

We know there are lots more people in hibernation but they only seem to come out to keep the population at a certain level. Why? Why aren't they pushing to expand the boundaries of the WP project so they can bring out more people and work to reclaim the Earth?

They have a helicopter and firearms, why aren't they hunting the Abbies that come near the site?

What kind of precautions are in place in case an Abbie gets in?

Don't blame the messenger. That's what teacher said.

This is what I'm thinking. I don't think the guy figured out that humans would devolve and wipe out the rest of the humans. I think he and the government created them to "thin the herd" so to speak, and create a better society.

That's a pretty solid theory. I agree that there has to be some pretty hardcore evidence for the Dr to garner that kind of support so early on.
