Tellinger's theory on the origins of humanity appears to be that we were created by aliens who then used us as slaves to mine for gold. I could attempt a highly detailed discussion but with other things limiting my time I'll instead just make a few observations.
Firstly Tellinger claims that God, that is the God of the Bible, seems obsessed with gold. The verse he uses as a reference is Genesis 2:11. In that verse God does indeed mention that there is 'gold' in the 'land of Havilah' but this hardly reveals an obsession. Much more importantly it also has to be remembered that this is part of the Genesis story of creation. In this context the gold mentioned is part of that creation which seems to completely contradict the idea that this is the same god who has created us to mine the stuff on his behalf.
