Why?i havent been in church since i was about 12years young.and i dont see the reason why should i.because when i see people oon the streets who advertising gods will, its just makes me,sick.because if there where god he didnt needed to be advertised.its just all about money in the end

No he is saying it isn't possible for you to be a Christian and not believe in God.

Because part of being a Christian is you believe in God, actually thats kind of a big part lol.

So if you don't, you should seriously consider relabeling your Religion. Just sayin.

:wtf: Isn't that just a little strange?

So you are Christian for what purpose? Or were you just brought up that way and have decided to keep it?

On topic: Why would aliens visit us? We are a primitive species, with nothing to give them, yet for some reason they should visit us? Right...

I think its really ignorant to assume that alien will have same "reality" as us, "reality" is just our view from our sense like eye, ear, nose etc. And did you know our communication is really in efficient even for inter planetary system. So i think its almost impossible for us to detect them using our earth sense.

What about Resources, and working labor,in form of Slaves?
An Alien lifeform would just need to infiltrate the top layer of society, to be able to keep us working for them, without us even knowing.
Ooops! a look at our modern society told me that may not be far from reality... ;)

Anglicans are a splinter faction of christianity, to be exact;)
(i was a baptized evangelian, until i converted from belief, to understanding)
According to what you say, youre a Deiist, like Neil Armstrong was.... you believe in something, that there is a plan about everything... but not an entity, like God is described as

I think it's obvious that there is life on other planets. I'm not sure if they have visited us because I think a lot of UFO sightings are down to government testing. I would like to believe that intelligent aliens did crash in Roswell all those years ago ;)

Now this will probably make you go :confused:. But I believe in ghosts. That our spirits/energy lives on somehow. But I don't believe in God! Because we did not have a sole creator.

Why would aliens visit us?

ask why we would visit aliens, look at human history: to make sure they wont eat us further down the road or because they have something we want. acceptable bonus answer: to show the other aliens they better not mess with us

Pretty much this!

If aliens can travel through space/time to visit us. It's obvious they have tech far superior to us.............so we are probably f*cked :(

not really. maybe they are perfect. maybe they dont know what is evil. and if they wanted to eat us, they would have done it a long time ago.

Why would humans want to visit an ant hill? Usually to fry the ants with a magnifying glass. Occasionally to study them too I guess.

I find it hard to be absolutely certain about whether there is or isn't life in such a vast universe that we haven't really been able to explore at all. However, I think there is a much greater possibility of life than of no life.


I think there is some merit to the ancient alien theory. I definitely wouldn't dismiss it.

this what i have been watching,It does make you wonder.

Michio Kaku once said.

Like an ant walking across a highway, we too might be sitting in a vast intergalactic "internet" or transfer of information and not even be aware of it.

He further suggested that the same way we break up our data into separate packets and send them across multiple wires only to be reassembled at the end, Aliens might be doing the same across a wide spectrum of frequencies.

And just as if you were to intercept one data packet from an otherwise complete file and would find it to be jargon/jibberish. We might be intercepting just one data packet via a single frequency from an otherwise very large spectrum of frequencies and thus hear nothing but static.

We could very well be sitting in a vast network of Alien Communications and not even know it, simply because we lack the technology/knowledge.

statistical analysis will quickly tell you if it's natural or not. basically what seti@home does

a galactic internet with latencies in the tens of thousands of years makes absolutely no sense

I heard Andromeda is hoarding IPv6 addresses. We shall soon run out of address space.

not until 2.5 million years which is how long any information would take from andromeda to reach us

You guys need to watch the Aliens of Devastation,In that episode it talks about a theory that aliens manipulated are DNA and explains the God telling Noah to make the ark cause he was flooding mankind,I always question Christians saying GOD is love he loves us all,So why in the 1st book of the bible did he flood the earth.....Also why did God take Mosses away in glowing chariots .....

Quantum entanglement. How did the particle get there? The stargate. It's all so simple.

quantum entanglement can't do ftl information transfer.

it seems probable that the quantum number conserving effect of the stargate will release any entanglement

thought experiment on ftl: take a laserbeam, swipe it across the sky, at some distance its angular speed will exceed the speed of light

no it wont. thats whats bad with light.
and angular speed what? the light is still travelling in a straight path. its just an illusion because we are moving the source.

if you throw a lazer at 30m/s then the light will still be at 3e8 m/s, not 3e8+3e1 m/s

true, but in fact, information cannot travel faster than light, since a light patch that sweeps across the sky contains no information, it cannot be defined as an entity and thus can exceed speed of light

For example, when the universe was in the inflationary phase, it expanded hundreds of times faster than light, but what is expanding is the vacuum between atoms, and it contains no information.
