    now you've REALLY lost me.

    why??..its simple..if you read about the ancient cultures, you gonna find the same story again and again..with some variations ofcourse..
    there are also the same story again and again with regards to the resurrection of a god....jesus.....same story (with some variations) throughout ancient history......just means the story was co opted by others as their own. not proof or evidence.

    what you need to understand is that you are throwing out little tidbits of "knowledge" with zero context, which makes it incredibly difficult to have any clue what it is you are talking about.

    just throwing out "the gods who came from the skies" means nothing to me. and probably not to anyone else who hasn't read about ancient cultures.

    My issue about the idea that ancient cultures' gods are somehow evidence of aliens is that there are all kinds of gods in human history, and there is a ridiculous story link to each and every one of them. Just because some of those stories happen to be that the god came out of the sky (as opposed to up from the groud, the sea, or whatever) means nothing without more information. I mean, some ancient cultures worshipped the moon, the sun, and the stars, not to mention birds. Those "out of the sky" stories could stem from any one of those things too. Unless there is a corresponding picture in a cave drawn by the people from that culture of an actual spaceship landing or something, that a god came out of the sky to impart wisdom is basically meaningless in the context of evidence of aliens (outside of the imagination, that is.... and 233scidoo, and admire your imagination and openmindedness when it comes to this topic for sure). However, those kinds of stories can certainly be looked at and one could say that one possibility might be alien visits.... but it would be pure speculation without any good foundation.

    I'd post some pics of ancient artifacts found to be over 5000 years old with odd creatures and a spacecraft attached to it, if I knew how. There are things people have found all over the world that point to the skys

    At some point you have to use your common sense and realize that invisible people in the skies aren't communicating with anyone. Either in ancient times or now. This thread has turned from extra terrestrial to super natural. Plus, not o e person has provided any evidence of anything that was extra terrestrial. Not once.

    Common sense would tell you with 100's of BILLIONS of galaxies, there's life somewhere out there.

    Ok, show me. I've said many times that I am open to the possibility nart, of microbes, ameobas, and bacterial life forms out there. Yes, common sense would dictate that.

    But until the day comes that one of our satellites proves it, I won't believe it. Some of you have voted yes, and they've visited here. Surely there must be some proof of that somewhere. You're so confidentß. Common sense does NOT dictate them having traveled here. All we know is it takes light years for a human made satellite to get to a place that could hold some life. So 1) if there has been ET visitors here who are they and where did they come from? And 2) where's the proof?

    Well, generally, if someone wants to make a point, they provide some type of background to it. not just throwing out random comments and expecting others to research it based on that.

    I gather the whole supernatural thing came from what 23 is saying the ancient folks thought the aliens were.

    and as to your last statement, you are 100% correct.

    your position is the same I have when it comes to god. I will believe it if it's in front of me. until then, it's not there.

    but I personally believe that it is a near (if not total) impossibility that earth is the only place that life began and evolved, just with the infiniteness of the universe (as we understand it, anyway). again, I don't know if there are CURRENTLY other intelligent life forms, but I think there may have, or may be in the future.

    but if we are only talking about life in technical terms (microbial), not intelligent, I would think it's a near certainty (which I think you also believe if I'm not mistaken). especially since they just found evidence pointing to the existence of underground streams on a planet in our very solar system.
