So What Does Everyone Think About...

What are existance here on earth is for? I mean when I get high I can come up with some serious conversation. Can you imagine if aliens are far more superior then ourselves and we the people are actually an experiment to them or some shit...Like what makes us "Us"? ya know what Im sayin...like conversations that can have you deep in thought.

I'm definately on board for this one. I think that we were genetically engineered by aliens..... I also think there is alot more to our existance than we think, or should I say alot more going on around us than we think. I could go on for hours, but I want to see how much interest you guys have in this subject first........

Good topic.
I seem to think if there is this much life on earth, and we know how many other planets are out there. How many more are beyond what we can see? We just need to get to them all to find out. There has to be other life on other planets. But who is more evolved? Are there other types of species we know nothing about? Other forms of life?
Do they have more advanced technology? This could go on for hours.

do they have better weed?

Is it even possible to know the answer to this?
Could there be more than one correct answer or explanation?
Is verification remotely possible?


Hmmmm, perhaps there is no reason for us being in existence....it is what it is...

I'm interested in your theory. I wrote a short story a while ago about the missing link. In my story Mars was a planet destroyed by technology and war. During a nuclear war some survivors banded together and made a dash for Earth.

On Earth they set up camp, blah blah blah.

Anyway, intersted in your theory, whatever that may exactly be.

Hi Skunky, the synopsis of your story reminds me of the novella "At the Mountains of Madness" by HP Lovecraft.
Eerie stuff!

Who knows?

I can't remember ever reading any Lovecraft... wasn't he an early horror writer? used to write a lot about the ancient Gods, yog sogoth the Indian (American) ancient gods?

Forgive my ignorance if I'm confused, my memory never works well when I want it to.

I think that the existence we all believe in is just an illusion, its funny how things seem to work out.

When driving along the motorway i look at all the other cars going past, i see all the other people unaware of everything else going on around them floating along in their little bubble, i also think that if you were to see a map of the world and see each persons life mapped out on it as a journey you would see that everyone generally sticks to the same thing, you do get ones that float around more and are cover more ground and go more different places, but you could actually liken the planet and the roads and tracks to something electronic like a huge complicated circuit board and we are all carriers of information travelling around in our little circles on something far clever than we are.

Also look at how society is based, there is a standard of way of living that the majority of people would expect you to conform to, you have to have the house the wife the 2 kids the dogs the 2 cars blah blah blah, advertising is put in front of you to keep you going to work every day and theres lots of other distractions put in place to keep your mind away from whats really going on. Most of us on here that is weed, others its beer, gambling or whatever but this is all to distract us from realising that we are a battery in a machine to serve a purpose, so you build up debts and have to continue going to a job you have to pay the bills and get by and your happy cus you got your half ounce or you crate of beer or whatever. Mean while all your doing is creating toilet paper for some rich dude to wipe his butt with.

I think though that the meaning of life is to find your own

i think that this is the meaning of life, to ask questions learn see thing differently, grow, love use your heart.

This was my original post in the U.F.O. forum that I have been a member of for a couple months now, it is still my favorite theory:

A couple million years ago there was a planet between Mars and Jupiter where the asteroid belt is now located. I believe that Mars was inhabited as well as the 5th planet(between Mars and Jupiter). At some point there was either 1)a conflict between the two planets or 2) the orbits became unstable and the planets collided. In either event the 5th planet was destroyed. At this point some of the people of Mars went underground and some fled to the nearest inhabitable planet--Earth. When they arrived they found it to be inhabited by unfriendly reptilian beings, creatures, whatever. This is the point in history when an asteroid supposedly wiped out the "dinosaurs". I do not believe that this was an asteroid but the simple erradication of the reptiles. This is when the newly arrived aliens created us. I believe they did so to have help in the building of the Pyramids in Egypt, South America, and the ones recently discovered off the coast of Japan. This was the point in history also where there was only 1 massive continent; and I think the alien newcomers built what we call "The Lost City of Atlantis". All was well for a while then came the actual asteroid that broke the continents up and destroyed Atlantis. At this point the aliens fled our planet, but not before leaving behind word that they created us and for us not to forget it (i.e. Moses, The Ten Commandments). I mean why would the ancient civilizations have painted, carved pictures of aliens and spaceships? There was no U.F.O. craze back then; they did not have the media to influence them. They simply recorded what they saw and that was that.

What about the actual pyramids; Not only in Egypt but South America, and the ones discovered off the coast of Japan? We can't even replicate structures like that today; theres no way ancient man could have done that alone. This also takes me to the Cydonia region on Mars. Theres no way those structures are natural occurences. They resemble the Giza plateau to a "T". What about all the other stuff recently photographed on the surface of Mars? No coincedence if you ask me. I think the face on Mars is an attempt by the ones who stayed behind to let the ones who left know they are still alive and well. Maybe thats why they left here so long ago.
It's all connected in my opinion. God, heaven, the bible, the Cydonia region on Mars, the pyramids, and Atlantis.


These are just my personal thoughts. I am not trying to preach or influence anyone to believe anything. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Just for fun......

No, although Aliens could well have been responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs. Cro Magnon did not arrive on the Earth until 60, 000, 000 years after the dinosaurs were wiped out. The time scale is too large. Also for there to be two planets in the same galaxy at the same time with intelligent life is hard to accept.

Cro-Magnon man only arrived around 65, 000 years ago, coinciding with the warming of the last ice age.

If it IS the case (remember, I only wrote a story) that we (cro-magnon) came from Mars then it must have happened around this time scale. The unexplained shift from neanderthal to cro-magnon happened around 65, 000 years ago.

I actually read once that cro-magnon were supposed to be the bastards of every tribe (neanderthals) that were sent away, exiled to colder climates. This was a scientific theory, and quite laughable as it implied that we all somehow banded together after evolving completely differently and overthrew the Neanderthals. This is not true, and it is believed now that Cro-magnon and Neanderthals could and did breed.

My story encompassed this theory which was just a mish mash of things I had read. Like I said, it was just a story, I'm not a fanatic or anything.

There is no real proof about ufo's being drawn by cavemen.

Also, look at alien abductions... the trend from the 1950's to now. Back in the 50's when people were 'kidnapped by aliens' they depicted their abducters as looking like little green men. Now, they are more like the one in your picture.

Why?

Movies.

I didn't say anything about cavemen, I said ancient civilizations. See the following:

Ancient Astronauts, Crystalinks

ANCIENT ALIENS FROM THE PAST

Ancient Aliens

Ancient Alien Visitors

Those are just a few out of the millions. And did you ever stop to think that there are more than one type of alien visiting us?

I don't believe Aliens have ever landed on this planet since mankind. If they had why would they hide?

How did they gain their technologies? The same way as us, through war and pestilence? what other driving forces are there behind technology? War and sickness are the only two I can come up with.

It's fine to say that there are aliens in the universe somewhere, this is logical. What isn't logical is that Aliens visit this planet.

I mean why would a peaceful, but intelligent blob want to invent space travel and light speed? Think about it. all major advancements in technology come through war and disease. If not for war we would still be living in mud huts.

Yes, He was a twisted and tormented man who wrote some disturbing stuff.
The ideas expressed by yourself and Ernie, made me think of "At the mountains of madness" ...when I read it I had just seen Chariots of the Gods in the theater.....and Lovecraft's take on extraterrestrial progenitors totally creeped me out.

Double post

You are applying the human thought process to an alien . They are not human. Why do they hide? If you went to another planet would you just land your ship wherever and be like "Hello everyone!!! I have arrived"? I wouldn't. Maybe they have knowledge of how violent we are and do not show themselves because they are not here to fight, but know that we will capture them to cut them open and use their technology for war. Or hell maybe they want to steal what we have accomplished for themselves, and their war. It's hard to say anything for sure on this subject.

How did they gain their technologies? Hmmm.... Maybe they have been around a lot longer than us and have about a billion year head start on the evolutionary scale. Maybe they themselves are or were just as hostile as us and they developed this technology for their wars. Maybe they need something from us and had to develope this method of travel to get it. Once again it is hard to say.

Why invent space travel? Why do we go to space? I mean honestly, can you give me a firm reason? Why is the international space station up there? Why do the astronauts risk their lives every time they blast off on 100,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen? For the sake of science, war, or technological advances? Who knows--we started because of the tension with the Soviet Union, now the Soviet Union has collapsed. Why do we still go to space? Only the Government really knows that.

Why is it not logical that aliens have came here. Do you have proof that they haven't? I mean real hard evidence; I don't know of any. There is actually more proof that they have been here than not. U.F.O's are spotted worldwide all the time. People claim abductions worldwide. A couple hundred thousand people can't be wrong.

Now that i think about it, I'm almost sure I've read some lovecraft, maybe as a child which is why it's so difficult to recall. I remember cthulu mythos(?), didn't he also write about a character called Harry Keogh, a guy that talks to the dead? Or am I really getting confused this time? I remember enjoying those books as a youngster, can't remember if it was lovecraft or not.

In fact I'm going to keep my eye out for some of his books. Not new, I like old books.
