message 16: by Yazid (Ciel) (new)

Yazid (Ciel) (plue) I don't believe they exist. I don't have any reasons to believe they exist and there is no solid proof that they exist. Or at least as far as I know, there is not. I mean, "Who the hell creates that word?!?!?!"


message 17: by [deleted user] (new)

I believe aliens exist. I don't know if they have visited earth, but I would bet my life on the fact that there is life on other planets.

Same as Yazid said, there's no solid proof.

T.J. Hmm...well, I find it interesting that in mayan temples, constructions of modern airplanes made of gold have been recovered but maybe that is just a hoax. Sure, it's kinda weird to think that out of the entire universe, we are the only ones sustaining life (also makes us feel pretty special) but in my Christian perspective, I don't find it plausible that there are other creatures out there. So no.


message 27: by T.J. (last edited Feb 10, 2013 01:17PM) (new)

T.J. (I dont believe that Christianity is a religion but rather I think it is a relationship with God. Religion seems to set limits)

And I mean, sure, maybe there might be other creatures out there in the vast, open space, but I don't really believe it (although I still love alien movies)


message 28: by T.J. (new)

T.J. Some scientific theories are pretty funny. I get a big laugh out of the Big Bang. There were videos and facts on how that along with evolution is just impossible and inconclusively flawed.

It's not scientism or solipsism but there is one that you are right about. I forgot what it is called though.

Yes. God made everything. He created every single baby in a mother's womb, the earth and everything good.

I'm still skeptical on the aliens, though. But I'm not saying it is absolutely impossible. It just says that God so Loved the WORLD, implying one. And since God created everything, I find it difficult to believe that their are other creatures out there when our Savior was sent to US.

I know! The Big Bang Theory always reminds me of like, I don't know, as if someone said, "I'll make this and that" and shot a shotgun in the air to stimulate a big bang. Because I'm literally thinking in the terms of "bang" everything is here!

T.J. H99 wrote: "What I was asking you to put aside was your opinion, if you have one, that God created everything, and just think about it without religion..."

I'd still have God in it, because like I said earlier, it is a relationship, not a religion because (I believe) religion places limits on things. And it is kind of hard for me NOT to think of it in terms regarding God because without Him, nothing makes sense so then we would reach a moot point.

I have never thought about it that way, but it's an excellent point.


message 34: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn | 6 comments I defiantly believe there are other organisms living out in space. It makes sense since we are so small compared to the universe. However, I do not have any idea if we will encounter "aliens" in the near future or ever, since we don't know anything about them. I mean we could be the most advanced organisms out there or we could be the least intelligent. I really love this topic because of how this is no hard evidence out there and we can only rely on guessing and making assumptions. Also, if there are more advanced aliens out there do you think it is possible we could be descendants from them?

I also understand that religion would have a role into your thoughts on aliens, because the role God plays would basically eliminate any reason for aliens to exist.


TotalWhovian TARDIS girl (TotalWhovian) | 51 comments The Doctor is real I love aliens especially Timelords


message 36: by [deleted user] (new)

Not too sure. They may exist or may not. With any proof we can neither assume that they exist nor deny their existence!


TotalWhovian TARDIS girl (TotalWhovian) | 51 comments The proof that aliens exist is that they have never tried to contact Earth.

Um, I don't get you properly. Can you explain?


TotalWhovian TARDIS girl (TotalWhovian) | 51 comments Its a Doctor Who reference it is a BBC tv show and the main character is an Alien and its kinda hard to explain you should look it up.

Did you mean this: “The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that..."


oh yeah that one

Agreed


TotalWhovian TARDIS girl (TotalWhovian) | 51 comments I thnk that aliens do exist, maybe they look like you and me, but what happened on Earth all those billions of years ago was a miracle. And that same miracle can happen on other planets. Just think, right now someone billions of light away is thinking the same question. Are there aliens?


message 46: by Ruth (new)

Ruth | 2483 comments lol it would be weird if a probe from an alien planet came here to earth, like that one they sent out years ago, with a lot of different languages and stuff lol

message 49: by John (new)

John Hancock (johngregoryhancock) I have seen UFOs on three separate occasions. I'm familiar with normal aircraft appearance and behaviour and I know what I saw was not normal aircraft (will describe further down)

HOWEVER, by UFO I mean I could not identify what I saw. That does not necessarily mean alien. I have no evidence on that, either way.

2 of the 3 incidents my wife also witnessed something, so I'll start with the one I saw by myself.

1. I was driving home at night. It was pitch dark, meaning I don't even recall seeing stars, so it must have been overcast. A Huge shape came from behind me traveling in the same direction. There was no noise, yet it appeared to hover generally about the height of a 15 story building. It was a matte black triangle, with the longer angle pointing forward. There was a white light on the underside, at each of the three corners. In the center of the triangle, on the underside was a much larger light that pulsed red, like a heartbeat. To see it, since I'm tall, I had to duck forward into the windshield and look up. I double checked by rolling down my window and sticking my head out. The black surface reflected no light at all, I only knew it was triangular because the sky behind it, even though overcast, was slightly less dark so I could make out the silhouette. This was right before my exit so I turned off to go home and the craft continued on along the highway. I have no idea if the other drivers saw it, but I did notice all the cars in general started to slow, so I think they did. It appeared to be about a football field to two football fields long, but without knowing the exact altitude, that's a guess. I only know, looking forward over a hiway with four lanes both directions (8 lanes total) it was large enough to be wider than the the entire hiway. This was in SW ohio.

two incidents my wife saw with me:

2. Living in a Chicago hirise, I had a great view of the John Hancock tower, the lake, and the skyline. One evening my wife and I saw what looked like a plane contrail, only without a plane. It was sunset so the trail shown bright orange. While we watched, instead of the trail getting longer, it was a fixed length, like a ribbon. As it moved across the sky, the back end was always the same distance from the front end. I thought it might be one of those planes that drag messages behind them. But it didn't really look like that. I grabbed my binoculars and checked. No plane was in front, it wasn't a message ribbon. Then, while I was looking, my wife said "OMG". I pulled down the binocs and I saw the ribbon make a perfect right angle downward, like a worm crawling around a corner. It was not natural. The ribbon did not sway at all in the wind, and the movement was geometric. Then, it headed away from us and in a blink, it disappeared at a very high rate of speed.
We called the local air force base to report a UFO, and they directed us to a dept that takes UFO calls (this was about 25 years ago). The guy WAS the UFO guy, we described it and he discouraged us from filing a report. He pretty much argued against everything we told him. We told him we BOTH saw it, and what it did. In the end, he refused to take a report, even though I got the impression we weren't the only ones who had already called him.

3. Fast forward to only 10 years ago, in SW ohio. Our second floor master bedroom windows opened out onto a thin strand of trees and then a very large open field, and then a thicker strand of trees behind that. This was late at night, our lights were off, and our windows were open (warm spring) we could see the outlines of the tree limbs from the trees closest to us. Keep in mind, our windows were open, so if this was a helicopter, we would have definitely heard it. In fact, helicopters did occasionally fly over and they're very distinctive in shape and sound.
My wife said, Look! and I looked out the window. There was no sound whatsoever. A craft that would be roughly the size of a helicopter if it didn't have a tail was slowly hovering over the empty field. It was a moonless night. It had a battery of lights on it that wrapped around the shape. the shape was like if you stuck a cube on a bar of wood, and stuck another cube on the other end. Sort of like boxy barbells, only the bar was almost as thick as the bulbous ends. we got up and watched it lazily drift over the field. Then it flopped over into a new position, like a rubik's cube and drifted higher and higher until we couldn't see it anymore. At its closest position, it was less than 100 yards from our window, even with us, so there was no mistaking it. also, the trees were mostly dead so there weren't a lot of leaves in the way.

Now, another thing to add to this is that my wife is a former flight attendant, and is familiar with how regular aircraft look at night, what kind of lights they have, etc. She verified this was not a regular craft, and quite frankly, we couldn't go back to sleep for a while because she was completely freaked out.

so there you have, my three ecounters with something I couldn't identify.
