I think I can prove that humans are either the descendants of the Forerunner or that Earth has a certain protective field covering it which is provided by undiscovered Forerunner technology located on Earth.

A long time ago (over 100,000 years), the flood escaped and the installation of Halo 04 was activated. We don't know that the other installations around the galaxy were activated but we can logically assume they were based information gleaned from 343 Guilty Spark in the Two Betrayals (More or less. Technically, this installation's pulse has a maximum effective radius of twenty-five thousand light years. But, once the others follow suit, this galaxy will be quite devoid of life, or at least any life with sufficient biomass to sustain the flood). Thus there is no way that humans could have survived unless there was a protective shield covering Earth . Or humans might not have existed and the Forerunners planted humans on Earth after the flood was contained (I'm assuming humans couldn't have evolved naturally in 100,000 years). This is a well-known theory and widely accepted (the part that Forerunners are the ancestors of humans). That theory has no directly evident impacts on the storyline of Halo 2. However, the previously mentioned theory does. If the Forerunner placed a protective device on Earth, humans could have survived the activation of the Halo installations. This could explain why the Covenant do not glass Earth. They want to find the technology protects Earth and use it for themselves. After the Covenant obtain this Forerunner technology, they plan on activating the Halo installations and killing all humans.

What do you guys think? Are these plausible theories?

Plausible- yes.
Likely- no.

Hmmm...interesting. If that is the case, I think there is only 1 on Earth. In the video of the making of Halo 2, a bungie employee stated Halo 2 is a galactice romp. I think that the Covenant would then have to find the other 6 artifacts spread around the galaxy.
