Topic: Aliens

[hatboy15]

i like to give aliens the benifit of the doubt and assume they're smarter than the current UFO sightings. i mean if they're smart enough to get here then we wont be able to see them, because of tech or otherwise.

the same goes for crop circles, yeah aliens are going to come from billions of light years away to write some grafitite (sp) in a farmer's backyard, sure. if they wanted to talk to us they would have the inteligance to look at our culture and figuare out who our leader is, its not that hard, and go talk to him offering gifts etc.

any sightings from before about 1700 AD, should be discarded. people  were so superstitous and fearful in their belief of god that anything even slightly unexplained would be attriubuted to the devil. magic-making a ball change positions under three cups was considered the devils work. but we all know now that thats not the case. so someone seeing a "ufo"over their farm could be something perfectly natural, but since the peasant isn't all that smart, he might think its god or the devil.

Lanorel- the universe is about 15-16 billion years old, est., and it will exist for, either, forever, or another couple trillion years. and yes i agree with you that aliens existed before humans, and will after humans. we've only started sending signals to space for about 60 years, the chance that an alien race has come to the tech. level to recive and recgonize the radio signals, within our galaxy, is very remote.

And have any of you heard of the 'Rod' phenonana (sp)

Ps Wandering Spirt have you been watching Stargate again??? although it is completly plausable that the old cultures where influenced by Aliens!! as shown by the markings in some desert ( Ican't remember which one) in the States just like landing strips and directions!!

Damn right ive been watching stargate! it kicks the ass of startreck anyday!  
and yes i have heard of the rods, they had a program on sky one about two months ago to cover Buffy when the series finished, they look kind of cool, but i think they are just a native species of earth

I dont mean to insult anyone but i Believe the Ancient muslims were influenced By aliens. They believe themselves inferior to god and that they have to stay on his good side. It may be my C'tan sense perking up again but I realy think there is something wrong with that. Like the Stargate thing!
But of course this is me talking I suspected my own mother of global Espionage I know. I need Help. Medical Help

the reason all aliens in....at east shows created by gene rodenbarry look human is becuz rodenbarry wanted to be able to see the actor behind the make-up and if u put big blinking eyes or something like that that you would lose the actor
i hope this awnsers youre question ( i saw a show about this on the space channel)

[caramoor]

its cos the old ones created most of the races in thier own images, and the games designers have to design races with which people can relate with. eg, the only race not humanoid is nids, and they are like bugs, hence we can still sympthise with them ( im not so sure about this, actually i dont)

[Harlequin Solitaire]

What if there was a fourth dimension and aliens or some other kind of 4d people were watching us from there like we can see 3d (our place), 2d (Stickmen, old arcade games (( Street Fighter, asteroids))) and 1d (a dot). We can see those dimensions but no further. What about other dimensions that we can't see. Oh, and with the sympathising with aliens bit, I agree. (see last 5 mins of Aliens Ressurection to see what I mean.

[SteamingBarrel]

i believe in them. Ive heard a ton of stories and stuff. I just wish they would hurry up and make contact with us!

I'd think most aliens would be insect like, and have varying forms, thats why i love starship troopers, so many different bugs, but then again, there could be reptiles and stuff. Who's to say whats alien? everyone says that they are always an advanced (sometimes frail) race. What if aliens were dumb and a crude probe landed in someones backyard? What if we develop this great space travel technology, find a planet, discover live, but non of it has elevated to be dominant, so its just a madhouse, technically they'd all be aliens, and what if we got a distress probe asking for OUR help? Why is the common depiction that we are the weaklings and they are the strong ones? WHy is it their technology is always so great? WHy are their  heads so big? Maybe the only intelligent life is humanoid, maybe only humans.


     I say its possible we are the strong ones!

It is not wise to assume aliens don't exist because they haven't found us yet. It's like saying, "I sat down for a nice lobster dinner one evening, but as no lobster crawled up on my plate, lobsters must not exist". Aliens might think there are no aliens because noone has come to them, but here we are!
