I'm near convinced half of you are aliens.

My mum says I am.
I saw an interesting show on PBS recently where they think that the asteroid that hit Earth and created the moon actually brought life to our planet.
Apparently Earth didn't have any carbon on it during the early molten days and then it got hit by a ball of carbon the size of Mars which kicked outer crust of the Earth into orbit creating the moon. Not only did this asteroid (planetoid?) introduce all the carbon to our planet but it also contained amino acids.
Now, the funny thing about amino acids is that if you expose them to a high-impact situation, such as in a lab or by colliding celestial bodies, they bond together into complex structures called peptides, which are basic proteins.
When I explained to my mom, the fundamentalist Christian, that life on Earth likely originated from outside out Solar System her response was a smug, "Where does God fit into all this."
Makes me think some people are too un-evolved for religion.

Yep i've been thinking of this theory too ever since I saw the movie "Mars the red planet"
or did it call "The Red Planet"? Anyway on the end of the movie the alien explains how life on Earth began definetly a movie worth watching.
Ah, yes, 420. I seen something exactly like that a couple years ago. If this were true, then the possibility of life existing elsewhere is less of a possibility and more of a probability. Well, it was to begin with, but even more if this were true. The reasoning being, if something outside of earth, brought what was essential for life on earth, to earth, then the likeliness of other places having these things already, especially with it coming from elsewhere to begin with, is practically undeniable.
Hmm, if I ever notice it or something on tv or hear about it, I'll "go out of my way," so to speak, to watch it. Sounds good. Though there is a good possibility I've seen it before, I've watched many things on subjects like these, and the name sounds extremely familiar.

I tought 420 was talking about a comet crashing into earth and thus so creating life, so it was sheer luck that the comet crashed and not that a other lifeform sended it...
What is this none sense? Of course life came from "outside" of the Earth. It's simple fact. The Earth wasn't always here to begin with, and the Earth didn't create anything on it's own. So simple logic dictates that the building blocks of life came from "outside".

I tought the earth was created with the big bang? lol
Anyway think how it would shake the christian-muslim and other religion if other life was found.
I mean i don't get how people can believe there is a god out there....i mean...I myself am not sure wheter to believe or not if there is a god, I myself am a muslim but I once had the same conversation like this one with a other muslim and he said "You can say all you wan't but i know for sure like 100% certainty that there is no life outside earth."
I looked at him and said "Really?? what makes you so certain?"
He said "In the Koran (our holy book) there is no mention of other life"
Man was I pissed at that time I mean how, HOW IN THE NAME OF GOD can people be so blind, why do they insist to believe something wich is not 100% sure, this is why I also wan't that other life is discovered for it would shake and probably make the religous world crumble.
Another fact is if we make contact and the Aliens are friendly think of the technology we could get.
Think of the pc's we could build *drool*
On the other side if the Aliens are hostile and wan't to massacre us.....well then we are soooo screwed.....

*points to museum to advocate creationalism thread (http://lucidmagic.net:8080/forum/index.php?showtopic=2755)*
That thread alone should tell you that! I think a number somewhere in there said around 60% of americans believe in the story of creation. You should tell your mother that God sent the asteroid/meteor/planetoid of carbon and amino acids...that'll make her happy......or will it? :o

Actually my response was: "Well I guess God is the one shooting the cannon full of these carbon balls out into the Universe."
Then I went on to explain how nature replicated in the same way no matter what the scale and it was obviously some kind of grand design.
Of course, I don't think she ever picked up on the idea that I was basically saying God was blowing his cosmic wad all up in reality and "spreading His seed" as it were.
Everyone wants God to be some impotent old geezer content to sit on some jewel encrusted throne in the clouds. Since nature shows us that God is the virulent lusty sort then nature must be against God!

God is a penis and we are his sperm. :lol:
Earth is like our mother, and we, god's children, develop through her.
Damn, I am good at making up fucked up shit like this.
Suppose you could come up with some extra bullshit that could mix God, with "aliens." In the fact that God himself is in alien of some long dead race, left with technology of extreme power he has powers unimaginable to mankind from his races technology and runs a large portion if not the entire universe. If with such technology he could learn so much and gain ways to expand his knowledge and ability through his technology, which further enabled him to increase the complexity and advancement of his technology over and over to a point where he became all-powerful, dubbed himself a god, and re-created what is practically a copy of his race. Yeah, see, I could write some bullshit bible too.

No. Because such a "God" would not be so apparent in ancient times and vanish from civilization in modern times. Not that I could possible claim to understand the "mentality" of such a "God". As he certainly wouldn't think as a human.
Fact of the matter is that we peoples of the Earth haven't the slightest idea whats going on around here and no matter how many fairy tales you'll read before bed or at your select place of worship, they won't give you a much better understand.
There most certainly is plenty of other intelligence in the Universe, probably in our galaxy as well. However the sheer distances that separate us from them in space and time would make contact extremely unlikely during the timeline of the human race. If there is an intelligence that can easily bridge the distance gap then they would probably meet HeLL's description.

That entire post was sarcasm, Mo. :lol: :D

Godly. B)
Maybe Jesus was the hallucinations of a drunkard.
My post was a joke, to make the point that religion is a fucking joke. :D
We all migrated from Mars, anyhow. :lol:
Guess it all comes down to one question.
Do you like:
A. The white-skinned baloon-headed aliens more or...
B. The little green martians?
:D
And Razor, there's no apostrophe in "want."
On a serious note, if I were to pick between two beliefs:
A. That we were all created by a higher being known as god, whose own origin then becomes a mystery, or..
B. A single alien or a group/race of them that created us.
I would choose B, it just seems more explainable and reasonable than a god with no origin or beginning. That just doesn't make sense.

Then B would equal A.

Actually, I think 420 could claim prior art due to the comment just above yours :rolleyes:
You don't happen to work in the US patent office do you?
Maybe send Jesus the Alien-spawn back to Earth.
