    Im pretty sure he doesnt know if they do or not.

    Maybe we can do the same? Who knows?

    I got into this subject through a search through the history of religions in a search for knowledge, what I discovered is that Shamanism, the spiritual use of plants is the basis for all modern religions 'the tree of knowledge'.

    The interesting thing is, Shamans say they meet their teachers in other dimensions, and as far as I can tell, the top Freemasons use the same plants. Hidden knowledge? Shaman's knowledge of DNA is now being backed up by our western scientists.

    Check it out! The book is called The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins
    of Knowledge. You may also find it interesting to learn about the amount of Shaman tribes the American government have massacared.

    So no actual evidence of other dimensions or aliens then? Just your biased interpretations of poorly researched history and images that "kinda sorta look like this."?

    How am I bias exactly? How poor is my research compared to yours with your lack of arguement to anything?
    You have done no research, though you have proven with your assumptions that any you do will be bias.

    Im just a guy trying to figure out the world!

    Why do we worship anything? Is there anything to be worshipped? What did Jesus/Muhammed/Shiva anybody have to say?

    This is going off topic, I was trying to suggest you do your own research King Mob, with an open (but logical) mind.

    Bised in that you started with the conclusion (shamanism rocks!) then cherry picked any "evidence" that fitted your conclusion disregarding everything that did not as a freemason conspiracy. But perhaps you can show some hard evidence that shamans knew about DNA and it's function?

    How exactly does worshiping things prove there's parallel dimensions?

    Oh god, don't get him started on shamanism. There was a thread here a while ago about it. Any post on this forum he seems to reply back with shamanistic references. Afterall the shamans knew everything about everything right?

    Here's the thread, http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055391360&highlight=shaman

    Basically his arguement was that some shaman went on a drug trip and pictured intertwining snakes. Then somehow came to the conclusion they must have known about the shape and function of DNA.

    Pure crap.

    Back on topic, I believe alien life exists. Not the crap spouted by some redneck with a piss poor picture of a UFO but rather small simple organisms eg bacteria.

    Out of the endless planets out there, another one must support some form of life. May not be intelligent life but it's still life.

    We simply as for proof of what your talking about. After all, you barely know what your talking about. The DNA/shaman angle is what I'm refering to.
    Shamanism isn't the answer to all lifes questions despite how much you want it to be
    You guys dont even know your own heritage.
    Care to tell us then? Oh, without refering to the writings of some drugged up shaman elder. I really don't think you can do it.

    No point dwelling on our past heritage. It would make more sense to live in the present and plan for the future.

    I'm sure you haven't read up on the whole phenomenon... Eyewitness evidence is not always correct, but there are many reports from credible witnesses. Rendlesham forest? How about the book by John Mack, Harvard professor of psychiatry - "Abduction"? He has conducted extensive research into alien abduction and was convinced it is real.

    You mean the leap in propulsion due to the jet engine and hybrid fuel and multistage rockets? Because it would have too impossible for human to design anything.

    No, I'm speaking of the massive leap from those methods of propulsion to the methods of propulsion displayed by these UFO's. Anti-gravity propulsion, or at the very least electrostatic lift. Read "the Hunt for Zero Point" by Nick Cook.

    And what evidence from the roswell conspiracy? The US was monitoring Russian nuke tests or that civilian can't identify a crashed hi-altitude balloon?

    hehe.. you might start by reading Stanton Friedman's book on Roswell. Or maybe Phil J. Corso's book "The Day After Roswell". Hell, even watch the Roswell movie and you'd be able to demonstrate more knowledge on the subject.

    But do you then believe that that the US or who ever has any possibility of shooting down a UFO Craft that moves at the speed of light? Usually, all known footage of UFOs show a craft dissapear within our eyes and we hear all these stories of fighter pilots been told to engage on them.Why?

    US pilots have died trying to engage UFO's. I'm not sure that there is an order to shoot them down - in fact I would disagree with this, however, if such a policy were in place then it could simply be explained as black ops project to which the USAF are not aware of. In the early days of these craft (when there was a policy of engagement) during the cold war, an unidentified blip appeared on a radar, and was verified visually. In this situation, if I was in charge of an airbase then I would order an engagement because there is a violation of airspace.

    All bacteria don't have light sensing organs and the number of bacterial species is so large that it can't even be accurately estimated. More than any other phylum or genus on the planet. Is that enough to convince you or will it take more irrational logic to do the job?

    Why is it when ever a conspiracy theoriest is questioned on prove they always tell you to read X's or Y's book?

    These books are created to satify your theories with pure bull**** logic. They have their target audience (guillible fools) and sucessfully market their product.

    Their books should not be taken as the bible. Hell the bible has more fact in it than some of these books.
    US pilots have died trying to engage UFO's

    Proof please.
    if I was in charge of an airbase

    Thank god this will never happen. All the resources would be wasted on chasing UFO's and trying to steal their anti-gravity propulsion system.

    Sigh* Typical conspiracy theorist bull**** and missinterpretation. You asked for a ratio of species with to without light sensing organs. You tried to be smart and suggest the number with light sensing organs outweighted the without light sensing organs. I simply corrected you.

    You then jumped to the rediculous conclusion that i think bacteria fly UFO's.

    You see the fault in your logic?

    I said most creatures. I was obviously referring to evolved creatures, not backteria, viruses, germs etc. as the context of the discussion was on alien visitation. Such visitation could only come from advanced evolved life forms.

    There's no point debating on this, since you haven't read the books and are unprepared to do so. Dismissing their content without even bothering to read them shows ignorance. You've not read up on the topic which you are ignorantly ridiculing. It reflects badly on you tbh.

    I haven't read it nor am i likely to read it. Just as you are unlikely to read any books on skepticism.

    I don't know for certain if John Mack's logic is flawed I haven't read his work. However if your logic is anything like his I'd be betting no it being flawed.


    To address your points: there is no reason what so ever to believe that any life in the universe has light sensing organs. Contrary to what you stated most species on Earth do not have light sensing organs and that it is infact a fallacy to assume that "advanced" organisms would need them. http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evosite/evo101/IIB2Notladders.shtml


    And as a side note, you're the claimant, the burden of proof is yours. You have to prove it's not bull****.

    It's your theory, you prove to me its not just that. The idea of a theory is to go through the evidence to prove it. Otherwise it still remains a theory. So you can throw all your novels and redneck sightings out the window. The fact remains it's your theory, you prove it. Don't ask me for proof against it.

    And by proof, i mean repetitive evidence that can be repeated by independant groups. Not just one person and their story.

    I couldn't be arsed trying to prove anything to someone who is too lazy to even read up on the subject. Better things to do with my time I'm afraid. I've given people on the forums some ways to enlighten themselves on the subject, in that way I'm contributing to this forum. Are you? If I was to be pedantic, I would suggest that your theory is that the books are bull****, therefore the burden of proof falls on you to prove that statement.

    That may be difficult seeing as Corso's book was his own testimony and he is dead now. Prof. Mack is also dead, but his scientific studies remain presented as they are (although you wont bother to read them...).

    Didn't bother reply to you King Mob, as your points are essentially the same, and as such, so is my reply. The light sensing organs point you have latched onto disregards my earlier point about obviously referring to evolved creatures, since germs, bacteria and microbes would be unlikely pilots of interstellar craft.

    The proof for my statement is really obvious. It's the fact that the theory remains exactly that. If I was wrong it would be considered fact and not a theory. The onus is on you to convince me, with scientific proof, that these UFO's exist. Not the ramblings of untrustworthy people who claim to have seen them. Also, don't start reference novels. Again, they are written by people looking to make cash, not solve the mysteries.

    Yes, but contrary to what you had said most life on earth does not have eyes. Also there are no "more evolved and less evolved" species. All species do not follow the same path, bacteria will not necessarily evolve eyes because the "more evolved" animals have them.
    Thus there is no reason to assume that aliens have eyes.

    Your claims are getting worse. First of all, how you can suggest that a Harvard professor and a US Army Colonel are untrustworthy I do not comprehend. Secondly, you're making a huge assumption that these people are only interested in making money rather than solving the mysteries. Can you back up that claim? No, you can't. Yet I'm constantly asked for basic proofs. A huge number of people have witnessed UFO's. The Drake equation and mainstream science now accepts that highly evolved life forms (no, not bacteria or germs.....) exist throughout the universe.

    Look, I'm not going to say this again, maybe this time you will get it: I said most creatures on earth have light sensing organs. In the context of evolved creatures who would be capable of visiting the earth. Not bacteria, not simple organisms. And yes, there are more evolved species. There are species which have evolved adequately to their environment, sure. But there are also species which have evolved into more advanced organisms, like humans. Who are capable of higher reasoning.

    It's obvious to me and others that you two haven't a notion of the subject. I'd read up on it more before further exposing yourselves. I tried to be helpful and point you in the right direction, but you'd rather bicker here than gain more knowledge. So what's left for me to do? The day will come when mankind will know the truth, and on that day you will feel foolish.

    No it doesn't. The drake equation is nowhere near solved by the way, at least half of the variables are still unknown. The is no evidence of any intelligent life in the universe. A claim like that needs a bit more evidence than unverifiable eyewitness reports.

    One animal isn't "more evolved" than another, perhaps more complicated but not more evolved.

    "Mainstream science" accepts no such thing. Individual scientists may accept it, but if they are both competent and honest they would admit to it being acceptance based on personal belief, rather than on science.

    The Drake equation attempts to calculate the odds that civilisations may exist close enough for us to have contact with. The likelihood of it being so is dependant on a number of parameters for which we have nothing but speculative values.

    The Drake Equation, incidentally, is non-testable. This is why it remains an equation (which it obviously is) rather than theory, postulate, or somsuch. It is, therefore, non-scientific in nature.

    Modern ones, yes, they are as evolved as every other modern species. There is no hierarchy or ladder of evolution. Humans are certainly not the pinnacle of evolution. Apes (or any other animal) will probably not evolve to become more human like. And the is no evidence that human-like intelligence is the end product of evolution.
    This is kinda explained in the article I linked and in a few others on that site.
    Or did you even read it?

If you want the information then I've pointed you to the books. Read them if it's something you want to know more about.

    Well the thing is these claims have been going around for a while and have been covered by many skeptics.

    And i have read many articles on the web about these subjects. So to suggest I know nothing about the subject is disingenuous.

    But perhaps you can supply, from these books, one piece of solid verifiable evidence, that has been scientifically evaluated to remove the possibility of fraud, incompetence, psychological factors, bad reporting and interference of someones personal belief on the evidence?
    And can you point out in the links I provided the flaw in the logic, reasoning or evidence that shows that "aliens" are a more logical conclusion?
    And please don't accuse anyone of being in a conspiracy unless you have solid proof.

    Modern ones, yes, they are as evolved as every other modern species. There is no hierarchy or ladder of evolution. Humans are certainly not the pinnacle of evolution. Apes (or any other animal) will probably not evolve to become more human like. And the is no evidence that human-like intelligence is the end product of evolution.
    This is kinda explained in the article I linked and in a few others on that site.
    Or did you even read it?

    I have read the article, and I don't agree that it's logical to suggest that a complex organism (that has evolved as such) is as evolved as a simple organism such as an amoeba. It's illogical in the face of Darwin's theory of evolution that apes would not evolve further, as the whole concept of natural selection indicates that evolution is an ongoing process in which a species will change and adapt to suit their environment. The stronger mutations of the apes in terms of suitability to a changing environment would flourish more, and thus another step in evolution.

    Those articles are one sided rubbish. Describing Stanton Friedman as a UFO loon... :rolleyes: Hardly balanced is it? The article on Roswell is terrible! Reiterating the official government story doesn't serve to dispell the evidence of a conspiracy.

    You've demonstrated a lack of knowledge on the subject.

    Explain the UFO incident in which several ICBM's were disabled by a UFO as discussed a while back on Larry King Live:
