Do you believe in Aliens? (Page 146)

ghostgeek: Sorry Sorcerer, but you must expect people to be a little skeptical. To claim you live in an abandoned factory suggests you are homeless. That in turn encourages the thought that maybe you enjoy a "tipple" now and then. From that it is an easy step to thinking that you were under the "influence" when you saw "THEM". I may well be doing you an injustice but by not describing what you saw that is what I think.

LabRatEscapee: Homeless, i must be in a library right? See for yourselves, it saves me all the trouble. Just go out there and discover, eventually you'll find something.

ghostgeek: I cannot say if you are in a library right now Sorcerer. It is certainly possible. All I can say for sure is that I once thought I'd seen a UFO, but it turned out to be a balloon. From that time on I've been skeptical about claims made about aliens and their flying saucers.

Corwin: Aliens travel halfway across the galaxy just to study our abandoned cement factories??

LiptonCambell: Who DOESN'T have time to watch a hour and 14 minute sales pitch?

Wonderbunny: Life's too short.

ghostgeek: Can aliens use Adobe Flash as a portal to invade from another universe?

ghostgeek: I've disabled it, just in case.

lori100: at 37:14 Strieber says the talk about the secret govt caused his ear implant to turn on...---

ghostgeek: Wow, it's just like the X Files.

lori100: a little after 37:14 actually

Wonderbunny: Whitley Strieber's book is a work of fiction. It says so in the introduction.

lori100: Not Communion..he has written other fiction books though....

Wonderbunny: Yes Communion.

lori100: it says it's a true story

Wonderbunny: Not my copy.

struanrobertson02: If aliens don't exist, then we as individual earthlings pratically define Luck. To say it simpilly, I'm going to side with the beleif that Aliens do indeed exist. Why? Simple, the universe is massive. It is quite strange to think we're the only ones, isn't it?

struanrobertson02: You can imagine aliens to look like anything, don't be stereo typical. Like UFO, they're Unidentified. So don't think small green people with big black gazing eyes flying Flying Saucers, okay?

ghostgeek: It's not what you believe to exist that matters, it's what you know to exist. And to date, the only life we know to exist infests planet earth.

struanrobertson02: Any surviving bacteria from a meteorite (if possible) can be considered Alien life, by the way.

ghostgeek: Nobody has yet been credited with finding evidence of life travelling on a meteorite.

struanrobertson02: Oh okay.

LiptonCambell: >>> If aliens don't exist, then we as individual earthlings pratically define Luck.

But you cannot deny, it COULD be just that.

And if that's the case, I feel it is humanities destiny to seed other worlds- not just for our benefit, but to encourage a diversity of life greater than what could be accomplished on Earth. Imagine if extrmephiles we've found in volcanoes were transplanted to Venus? Or sent to the the methane oceans of Titan.

We can't go around insisting that there must be others, and leave it at that. It is our destiny to help the spread of this unique and wholly agreeable condition known as "existence"
