-- Posted by iconoclast at 10:18 pm on June 7, 2008 no mainstream publication nor society would ever accept the idea of them -- Posted by kill the bitch at 10:19 pm on June 7, 2008 dont blow it -- Posted by botanical angel at 10:20 pm on June 7, 2008 why not? Because in an endless universe, it is 100% impossible for intelligent life equal, inferiour or superiour to our own, to exist? -- Posted by HatesYou at 10:21 pm on June 7, 2008 some have come to accept them regardless. but w/e. -- Posted by iconoclast at 10:21 pm on June 7, 2008 Quote: from botanical angel at 1:20 am on June 8, 2008 why not?

Something scares people so the best thing to do is wipe out all memory of it entirely? The only way fears can be faced is to realise that possibilities exist, and that they shouldn't be feared. If anything I'd PROMOTE sensible publication. People find alien synonymous with "World domination" and "destruction" Perhaps if less time was spent dwindling in fear, and more on the enourmous possibilities of such an encounter, things would be better. REGADLESS, it is stupid to wipe out such publications, because the human mind is a god in its own right. We are always creating, forming ideas and dreams, and hopes, and desires, and the most amazing splendours of imagination within our minds. To hinder the spread of such amazing creativity is to hinder human evolution. How can we create when our creations are born and left to die in our heads? -- Posted by iconoclast at 10:27 pm on June 7, 2008 maybe aliens are nice and could teach us shit if we dont act like douches to them -- Posted by botanical angel at 10:33 pm on June 7, 2008 like that'll happen...we can't even treat other races properly! imagine what we'd do to an intelligent creature from an entirely different evolutionary system -- Posted by iconoclast at 10:34 pm on June 7, 2008 yeah wed treat them like a muslim on crack or something -- Posted by Apotheosis at 10:49 pm on June 7, 2008 Quote: from botanical angel at 1:20 am on June 8, 2008 why not?

The whole world would be in too much shock to do anything really, and those who did would be trying to appease them. If they can travel between stars, they probably have some damned good weapons. as for whether or not other life exists. I say it is naive to think it doesn't. Life --as we know it-- was created on one of nine [I guess 8 now] planets of ONE star in the milky way galaxy. ONE, of 100 billion, each with their own number of planets. Then multiply that number by the number of galaxies in the universe, which is estimated at over 500 billion [though who really knows anyway, I would imagine it would be a number that large or larger, though.] To think that life only exists on ONE, of the estimated 5x10^22 would be a silly notion. To question whether that other life is intelligent, or capable of traveling between stars or even galaxies, however, at least lies in reason. edit: just to note, the Hubble space telescope estimates over 125 billion galaxies, though of course, more may obviously exist. -- Posted by allsmiles at 12:12 pm on June 8, 2008 On top of that, we can't even detect all but the largest planets yet (down to 3 times as massive as earth, and dropping quickly, but still...). Life could be one star away but we still don't know. Hell, life could be in every star system, and we're just the youngest communicating race in the universe. -- Posted by botanical angel at 12:35 pm on June 8, 2008 getting even further into possibilities, but I believe nothing should be considered false if there's a posibility... but for all we know, we were put on this earth, as tiny single cell creatures, by far more advanced beings who wanted to study evolution...you know, like we want to do with Titan -- Posted by Acid World at 1:11 pm on June 8, 2008 Quote: from botanical angel at 12:35 pm on June 8, 2008 getting even further into possibilities, but I believe nothing should be considered false if there's a posibility... but for all we know, we were put on this earth, as tiny single cell creatures, by far more advanced beings who wanted to study evolution...you know, like we want to do with Titan That would be pretty nifty. -- Posted by botanical angel at 6:04 pm on June 8, 2008 yep...it makes me want to moon nothing hoping some alien watching us through millions of microscopic cameras will throw up from the site...
