Misc What is your stance on aliens? - Page 12

I think the idea that an alien presence shaping human history is a fascinating one, but I'm skeptical. I think it's more likely that we just underestimate our ancestors.

I mean, for all intents and purposes humans 5,000 years ago were just as intelligent as we are today (correct me if I'm wrong), though far less educated and with less technology obviously.

That all sounds cool and all but you also can't be certain of anything that you experience during a hallucinogenic episode...

Did you take the red pill or the blue one?

The logical one.

You like to think yourself open minded but in reality you're just as close minded as someone who is certain you didn't see anything alien.

No one here has seen what I have seen - so it's a little illogical to be certain I didn't see anything....

I don't think anyone's arguing that you didn't see something.

You saw something. You saw something strange. You saw something you can't explain.. That doesn't mean it was aliens.

What does your police training tell you about the reliability of eyewitness testimony?

Roswell supposedly contained valuable in formation....thats was in 1947 correct? Less than 10 years later space travel started. Coincidence?

Listen aliens that crashed their craft aren't going to have anything valuable on board that we could utilize. If they're too stupid to land their craft after a multi trillion mile journey I have no interest in what they have.

My stance on aliens is the 3 point stance. It's a good, balanced stance that you can really fire out of and level them from. Just remember to keep your head on a swivel.

My stance on aliens would definitely not be 'bent over'. That's just asking for a probing.

That's why you gotta keep your head on a swivel.

Some people have a strong need for certainty...and only believe what they see with their eyes. We are NOT alone in this universe.

I'm not a vegas odds maker but 300,000,000,000 stars x <100,000,000,000 Galaxies is more than 300,000,000,000,000,000,000 other stars many of which have more planets than our 9 planet sun does. I'd say there a DAMN good chance we aren't alone. Hell there is a better chance i'll win the lottery every year for the rest of my life than there is of us being the only life in the universe
