Are UFOs real?!

[EugeneSmasher]

From what I've read, the predators are solitary. No wars, but little communication either. Somehow I guess this is good. From what we can see on this thread, religious people and anti-religious people are always arguing because one side has to provoke the other.

Why can't we just respect each others' beliefs?

Bad blood of generations past flows to this day my friend...

well.. the nearest star to our sun, Alpha centaurius is only 4 light years away, its not that 'impossible'.

And current knowledge or more specifically cosmic string theory do suggest the possibility of wormholes, a short cut through space-time fabric for interstellar travel. Though such theories are still very much untestable.

Eh, 4 light years if your spaceship travels at the speed of light. And if this world is what Einstein had described and theorized, I don't see how aliens can beat the speed of light barrier.

Looking from a neutral point of view, it's very easy to point out that religion is the crux of this forever ongoing provocation.

 

[EugeneSmasher]

So you think forcing everybody to have no religion will help?

If you ask me, it is the lack of respect for each other's beliefs that is causing this.

There are several groups:
- Religious people who are conservative and just want to live peacefully with other people.
- Religious people who force their religion and beliefs on others, not letting them have a say or anything. These are the bad eggs.
- Non-religious people who are conservative and just want to live peacefully with other people.
- Non-religious people who force their anti-religion beliefs on religious people, rebuking religion, rebuking religious people, etc. These are bad eggs too.

I am religious but I have non-religious friends. And we live in harmony.

 

[empihsrow]

Well, I'm just saying that this problem will exist as long as religions exist...

So, we'll have to live with it.

About aliens, I was at the National Library book fair today and came across a book on alien encounters. Read a portion of it (abduction stories) and felt sick... Had to sit down for awhile. I certainly don't want to meet any aliens... If they do exist.

 

[Hito]

yea they are, if not how movies shows them? Just that they arent from outer space =/

 

[gorilla]

oh...u missed out people who thinks this thread is a really funny and entertaining... thanks for the debate worr, you guys made us have a good laugh

By the way, i read some books in the library too. Interesting... i don't think i wanna meet 'them' though. UNLESS they are cool...like lil wayne.

Just watched the vid about the hubble space telescope.

It stated that the furthest photo it took was 78 billion light years away.

Then I realised, the entire universe has to be older than 78 billion years if we are able to capture light from these galaxies 78 billion light years away.

But the Big Bang theory states that calculations show that the age of the universe is 13.73 ± 0.12 billion years.

Hmm, I can't make sense of this large discrepancy...

No. this problem exists because we are human. If we didn't have religion to argue about, we'd find something else. If it's not religion, it's race. if it's not race, is't nationality. If it's not nationality, it's something else.

At the end of the day, we'd argue about who's toes are bigger if we thought we could win.

[QUOTE=Whitestrat

Very true. It's so easy of people to conveniently put blame on religions.

 

[Whitestrat]

Eh, 4 light years if your spaceship travels at the speed of light. And if this world is what Einstein had described and theorized, I don't see how aliens can beat the speed of light barrier.

In some ways, they, or even we, already have done so. Scientists have ALREADY successfully completed teleportation experiments with small calcium molecules and further research has been conducted in various Universities to attain similar results with other matter.

This is not science fiction. It is real. it's a matter of some time before they can successfully teleport larger and more complex structures, and possibly even life, but it takes a while I'm sure, before we even get there.

Humanity has the tendency to group themselves into groups and hate the other group

 

[tim098]

I think humans, in one way or another, are programmed to believe there is always something greater and beyond belief and beyond us out there.

That is why religion is huge, that's why some people think we are totally inferior compared to any alien life form, it's just human nature to think that way. And that goes on to selectively picking out evidence that proves their belief, but never realise the vast evidence that goes against it.

Funny things, us humans!

 

[EzaRitualBella]

Humanity is a parasite to the earth

whoa....i sound just like Sephiroth

 

[EugeneSmasher]

And the stories of aliens being able to travel from their worlds to ours also helps with our inferiority complex. So far the only planet humans can fly to, land on and walk on is the moon, even after forty or more years of space technology.

Some of mankind's satellites made it really far though... One made it past Jupiter I think.

The original voyager has already gone out of our solar system liao ....
