2048 chars isnt enough to say much. I like to ramble and expound long windedly, but hee goes:
Born Midwest(USA), Military brat, Travelled World, lived in Saudi Arabia, Kenya, Phillipines, came back home and joined the military for 4 years. Ran the gamut of jobs from flipping burgers in high school to being the helmsman for a 600 foot long guided missle Destroyer to doing IT/IS tech work to driving 18-wheelers.
Family friend we met while overseas worked for US Government and NASA and they had moved to Henderson, Nevada, lets just say he was in easy commute by airplane from there to a place the US government said didnt exist for the longest time. Makes you wonder what NASA had to do with a place supposedly for military stealth aircraft.
While living in Kenya I count as the two most important things I have every done; climbing to the tops of Mt Kenya and Mt Kilimanjaro, those places give one an epiphany that kinda smacks you upside the head, whether you want it or not. Standing on a glacier at the equator of the world, being able to see the curvature of the earth and looking down to see the highest clouds actually splitting and moving around the mountains slopes. Makes you realize how small and insignificate humans are in the grand scale of things. Gives you a better understanding of just how big the world is and from that you begin to realize a small fraction of just how big the universe is.
How God wouldnt have created one tiny world around one tiny star filled with the only life in the universe. |

Throughout the recorded histories of mankind there is evidence of Aliens.
Cave Drawings, the Bible, Sanskrits, Alexander the Great had help whether intentional or not while seiging a city, a vessel in the sky, a ray of fire and a breach in said cities walls. From the Babylonians and Assyrians, actual descriptions and the number of a race coming to earth form another planet. Theres got to be something to all that.
Myself I dont believe god would have created one tiny world with all the life that there is in the universe. Some of the oldest records of humanity actually make no qualms about it and name them as beings from other worlds with craft that fly among the stars from world to world.
We're more likely some 'seed' planet, a repository of genetic material. I am not saying that life didnt evolve on its own on earth, That maybe the way life formed here on earth is how it happens everywhere in the universe. Maybe that was a reason for the planet to be used as a "seed" world.
Why do so many 'encounters' with aliens make them out to be humanoid? Doesnt it stand to reason that the same concerns humans have about space travel apply to others? The deteroiation(sp?) of the body and genetic makeup due to radiations and gravity? There would be divirgence in the species within a handful of generations not the eons required of evolution and genetic drift on a planet thats fairly shielded from radiations. Would humans travelling across the light years end up more like the various 'odd' looking humanoid aliens?
The evidence shows we've been visited and still are bing visited. Doesnt all the encounters/abductions sound like our own research with animals? How we treated less 'civilized' people throught the world and history?
So I think their there, but the SETI project so intrigues me becuase it has a better chance of locating those the universe that we would be better off finding and trying to eventually communicate with, not the ones that see us as a petri dish. |
