    Putin: Distraction Days (already at a cinema near you)

    "Fishes" is also correct as the plural of "fish".

    True enough, 12 men walked on the moon, but only 3 have been at the bottom of the deepest ocean. We've a lot to learn about what is down there. Going down in subs is cool, but we're missing soooo much. It would be like being being lowered into a rainforest by helicopter, at night, with a torch. Giant and colossal squid certainly exist and sailors have reported really odd shít, inc really big squid. Not weirdos either, experienced mariners and fishermen.

    Yeah, one was filmed recently off Japan.

    What if it was found out that god was an alien ?
    Would this put a downer on the alien experience for you ?

    If there are aliens they could easily claim to be God. A lot of people want to believe in a man in the sky.

    I dearly wish this is true, imagine the awesomeness of knowing that there's intelligent life on other planets and that all religions can finally and forever be proved as gobbledigook.

    Aliens existing wouldn't necessarily disprove the existence of a God. They could be just as theistic as a lot of the human population, perhaps having similar enough beliefs. There would certainly have to be some backtracking from the major religions but that's not really anything new for them.

    George Washington was in a cult, and the cult was into aliens, man.


    Watch them fly away
    See the lines across the sky
    Watch them fly...away

    How does the existence of aliens disprove God?

    Maybe god will unleash a plague of aliens on us .

    You left this out of your orginal post OP taken from here near the bottom.
    After the discovery came public, conspirators were quick to dub it ‘a UFO tooth-wheel’. Russian scientists, however, do not jump to conclusions and will run further tests to learn more about the strange artifact.

    all a load of conspiracy muck

    Easily, haven't you heard of panspermia?

    The theory goes that life originated on earth after it landed here (or was planted here) from space.
    If our new overlords, when they come, tell us they're the ones responsible for this, then it'll prove that we weren't put here by a god.
    And we'll all live happily ever after, safe in the knowledge that we won't spend eternity having pitch forks shoved up our arses and that millions and millions and millions of people died in wars fought over fallacy.

    And who created the alien overlords?

    What's with this new fad of everyone writing "'Merika" instead of America??
    It's so irritating!

    I wonder what it would mean for the world if the American president ever does come clean about aliens.

    Nobody I reckon, they're probably the product of millions of eons of constant evolution, like us....but apparently more Nordic looking. :D

    If you're interested here's an article about it and it's likelihood that it happened.
    One argument that supports the panspermia theory is the emergence of life soon after the heavy bombardment period of earth, between 4 and 3.8 billion years ago. During this period, researchers believe the Earth endured an extended and very powerful series of meteor showers. However, the earliest evidence for life on Earth suggests it was present some 3.83 billion years ago, overlapping with this bombardment phase. These observations suggest that living things during this period would have faced extinction, contributing to the idea that life did not originate on Earth.
    interplanetary distances are large, so the time a bacterial spore would have to spend in a meteorite or comet before hitting a host planet could range in the millions of years. Two studies involving the isolation of bacterial spores, either from the abdomen of extinct bees preserved in amber or from a brine inclusion in an old salt crystal from the Permian Salado formation, suggest that bacterial spores can remain viable for up to 250 million years. Thus, bacterial spores could potentially account for life on earth.

    134,000 + website visits in one day ain't bad, that'd be far higher than any Irish newspaper site for a day.

    You don't know what reputable means.

    Good point, no Irish newspaper website is reputable.

    so ron hubbard andh is religion scientology is right,we came from another planet


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    I think what's happened here is that Russian spies have obtained some documents, referring to illegal aliens entering America.
    I've been in regular contact myself with the mother ship and I've been assured that there is no possible way humans can be aware of our existence as of yet. After abducting any humans we usually finger humans in the bottom where their brains appear to be located as to preform a lobotomy resulting in the loss of any recent memories before returning them to your planet.
    Fear not though, and your time will come.

    Naw, he wrote that some military alien leader brought millions of people to earth and then killed them all with nukes and their souls stayed in the atmosphere and these souls 'infected' the modern inhabitants of earth. These infections have resulted in things like mental diseases etc. And that's why scientologists don't 'believe' in psychologists and treating things like depression etc.

    Critical to note about this years Forum is that the WEF, in their 2013 Executive Summary, scheduled for debate and discussion a number of items under their X Factors from Nature category, and which includes the “discovery of alien life” of which they state: “Proof of life elsewhere in the universe could have profound psychological implications for human belief systems.”

    Would it? Really? I've always thought that with 400 billion stars in our galaxy alone and a trillion in the galaxy next door, the idea that there isn't life somewhere else in our own galaxy is ridiculous, and the idea that there isn't life anywhere else in the entire universe is virtually impossible.

    I wouldn't imagine there are many people out there who honestly doubt the existence of life elsewhere in the universe so why would it in fact have profound implications, and why would governments want to cover it up in the first place? For me at least, it would simply confirm what I've always held to be blindingly obvious.

    Must admit I've never heard of it but I looked it up there and firstly, as you mention, it's a theory and nothing more.
    Secondly, it's not really what you just described, although I'll admit it would be difficult to sum it up in a sentence.
    Regardless, there's nothing about it that disproves the existence of a God. It may pose problems for some religions or some fundamental branches of religions if proved true but certainly not all religions.

    What most worries me is that if aliens landed here and claimed to have created us you would just accept that.

    Also, eutimes doesn't appear to be a legitimate news site - another story on it uses fairly dubious statistics to berate our society's lack of chastity before marriage :rolleyes:

    And what worries me is that you think they'd feed us lies. They've no reason to lie, why would they?

    Would ya not give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe, just maybe, they aren't pulling our legs.

    Plus I'd presume they'd have some proof and let earth's best (and most hollywood-esque handsome) scientists empirically investigate the proof
    Yes, I'm a doubting Tomas, but if they could prove it then I'd be cool with it.
