wooo, birmingham, it's nice to hear people talk about my town and our local rock station. That's made me happy

@Retrasado,

Your view assumes they know nothing that we do not.  I agree completely with you that under our current knowledge and technological limits it is fairly unfeasible to make such trips, but we can't assume that about a possible alien civilization for the reasons I specified above. 

In addition I will add that it is widely believed amongst physicist that folding space for the purpose of travel is technically possible under our current understanding.  To be clear their position is essentially that it breaks no rules they can see and so should be possible, whether or not its a viable option in terms of energy cost, and whether or not it is safe are questions far beyond our current understanding but the fact that the door is open means it is possible for another civilization to have done it.

 

I'm not saying that that's they only way to travel interstellar distances, but any other way to travel it (like folding space) would require a LOT more energy than the amount I stated above. Also, assuming they could do this, they would obviously be a fair amount ahead of us technologically; which brings two other questions: The main one being, why would they want to visit us? If life is at least fairly common in the universe, I can't imagine our civilization having anything of note that would interest another civilization enough to visit us on a regular basis, though with no info on this topic, (ie. no other civilization to compare to) we obviously can't be sure on this. (One our inventions that another civilization may not have thought of would be multi-core computer processing) However, if they did have the technology to visit us frequently, they would most likely also have the technology to make it so we can't detect them easily (if at all).

I will never understand why the possibility of life on other planets makes most religious people nervous and get into denial mode about it.

Can some one explain this for me? I would be grateful.

The way I see it if there is life out there that is as much evidence that there is a god then it is the opposite, in fact I would consider it more of a proof that god does exist and there is a bigger plan behind all of this.

I wonder if the Aliens have consoles. I wonder if they visited Earth to pick up Wii? 360? PS3? This article should explain the Wii shortages and Wii Fit...

 Being made in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:27), human beings have the ability to know God—and therefore love Him, worship Him, serve Him, and fellowship with Him. God did not create human beings because He needed them. As God, He needs nothing. In all eternity past, He felt no loneliness, so He was not looking for a “friend.” He loves us, but this is not the same as needing us. If we had never existed, God would still be God—the Unchanging One (Malachi 3:6).

 

He created us to love Him, to follow Him...

I remember doing this questioning session with a panel of scientists, and one of the questions was "do you think aliens exist", and all of them stated that, without a doubt, there are definatly more intelligent lifeforms out there.

Anyways, the reason why I am saying this, is because one scientist said something that made me laugh, he said:

"Yeah, there are definatly aliens, as to whether they have ever visited us? I highly doubt it. However, I'd just like to point out that in all of these Hollywood films, where the alien space ships come down, and the doors open, and it just so happens to be in the middle of a military base. If these aliens really did have the technology to travel to Earth, all of those army guys, sitting in their trenches, holding their rifles and their sub-machine guns, really aren't going to have much of an effect against the aliens. If aliens have the ability to travel across the universe like that, then, really, resistance would be futile".

 This is true. Aliens need to stay in shape too



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

You guys can say whatever you want: but... there's is no evidence of life outside the earth, and until that happen, I'm right.

So, when they find life outside the earth, I will eat my words.

 

You guys are defending something without evidences againts the words of God.     Unbelievable.

It's official -  Fernando: king of contradictory sentences!

So how do you know god didn't create aliens in his image, have you seen one?
