However there are signs around Area 51 that reads "restricted area", "no trespassing" and such.

It's called "Area 51" becousle it would have been a nukeular bomb testing site if it didn't become an aircraft test site

P.S.
Again I am not with the government

1) I realize that but it gives a sense of the real area as the signs are almost a copy of those seen in NV 2) the area was given it's designation when they "grid mapped" that section of the US for tests and military bases. It is in grid 51.

Good, but let's get back on topic (anyone remember what the topic is?

)

They had "Signs" on tv the other day. Crop circles are cool

Btw, what do you think about people who claim they've been abducted?

Spock · 05-29-2005, 08:42 AM

M-the topic is UFO's and you started it

J- I believe there have been abductions ...but right now I've got to go eat breakfast

I think I'll take the same view I take with other paranormal phenomena: I won't put it outside the realm of possibility, but I'll be skeptical until I have a personal experience. Or definitive proof. I think I'd rather have definitive proof of abductions and not a personal experience. From reading accounts of people who've had them, it would be traumatic. Plus, I'd rather not be probed.

Interesting phenomena, the report of abductions. Very similar in many respects to Medieval reports of oppression and possession by evil spirits. I once read an interesting learned psychological comparison of these two phenomena. Anyone else read about that or recall the article? The formula of the reports is interestingly made fun on SOUTHPARK (can't recall the episode).

If aliens weren't associated with a physical body, wouldn't that make them angels/demons?

I'm totally acceptant of the idea that alien life could exist...the Bible doesn't prove or disprove it (after all, it was written for us, not aliens

)

Lol!

I think there's most likely living planets with sentient beings upon them, perhaps in other galaxies, and it could be an infinite possibility of how many planets, how many galaxies, upon which and in which there's alien-to-us life.

Or, maybe not. Maybe Earth is a total anomaly, maybe we're the only planet with life forms on it, for all infinity. Wow. Yeah, probably not...

*considers evil laughter, but decides against due to the animosity that it seems to build among sentient beings*

(Frowns) Hmm. An alien is defined as a being from another planet or another part of the universe. There is a scripture that says when God created the Earth, the stars (or angels) sang for joy. Jacob had a dream of angels descending and ascending a ladder between Earth and Heaven. God said somewhere in the New Testament, "Heaven is my throne and Earth is my footstool." At Jesus' ascension, he physically ascended, as did Elijah. It seems most likely that angels originated in Heaven rather than on Earth. If that is true, they probably did come from somewhere else in the universe, or perhaps from beyond it, perhaps from another dimension. In any case, many of them certainly don't have their home on Earth- we know that they travel between Heaven and Earth. So I think that that would make them aliens.

***Jonathan*** · 12-11-2005, 06:55 AM

Does that mean aliens are probably religious too, like most humans?

Maybe in their Bible, they can read that God spent six days in some far away place and created a rather insignificant planet called "Earth"

Seriously, if we were visited by aliens, some very interesting subjects to discuss with them would be religious questions, ethics and morality.

Spock · 12-11-2005, 12:17 PM

So after a three month absence, people have rediscoverd this topic. "J" I've always thought that a day in the mind of an omnipotent being was not the same as a day in our mind. "LE" ...be still my heart, we agree completly on this.

We agree?

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO NOW THAT WE AGREE!!!!!!!!? Shock, astonishment, flabbergastedness!

In reality, it doesn't shock me when we agree on things. We have disagreeements and agreements. We agree about Iraq, Islam, and apparently some scripture interpretation. We disagree about Israel and torture. I've got far more disagreements with Insidious Rex than I do with you, believe it or not, but we're good friends.
