Steven Hawking warns not to talk to aliens

[ellenjanuary]

And this topic is another piece of subliminal theology. The tao even says - hide your light under a bushel. There is no piece of "formulated advice" -theology, philosophy, economics, politics - that does not carry a codicil in the form of - do not show, all of your cards.

Except one. The exception that proves the rule, that makes NASA such a joy for the CIA... science.

Science thrives on transparency. Now if science is just another stopgap theology, then f it, ET go screw. but if science is How Things are Done - then we can expect no consideration of the value of our civilization from a scientifically advanced society with such a philosophical position. Besides, the lights are on, the radio waves are waving, and humanity has jumped upon the cosmic internet with Hitler's youtube. Deal.

They may also be watching Star Trek and think 'Oooh we'd better not mess with them'.

I'll play safe and say the only way that we will certainly have peace with advanced alliens, if there are any, is if there is nothing on earth they want or need.

The only thing I figure can't be found in great abundance elsewhere is life and destroying it doesn't make it easier. Harvesting humans perhaps? There is a recent sci-fi movie I saw like that, Skyline.

They'd know we have corbomite.
Yeah...don't mess with us. We be bad.

Is there a list? I'd like to get my mother-in-law signed up.

If they only knew what the rapture really was about. God wants to harvest us!

God wants to serve man.

Is that what human beings are?
Just another species of animal?

Yes!!

 

[idav]

Yes!!

Yet at the same time the universe revolves around us.

 

[outhouse]

Again an ancient civilization with advanced technology has already most likely been here. So again what do we weigh Hawkings worries against?

there is not one shed of real evidence of such beyond imagination.

your personal opinion isnt valid, nor validated by those who follow TV shows ment to make money spreading misinformation and sound bites simular to creationist tactics

"The Earth still turns."

I was just being a bit egocentric. Can you explain why you think the universe doesn't revolve around me? /sarcasm

I got the sarcasm. I just like that quote. It's a good reminder that no matter how hard we try to deny the truth, it always remains unchanged. I always try to strip everything down to it's basic levels. Are we just another animal? Yes. Can we be more than that? Sure. But we will never not be another animal species. We can add to our basic foundation but we can't take away from it.

Neither does Hawkings' assertion. I am merely suggesting the possibility that aliens have already been here.

I find it best to cut fantasy off at the head

This is just like giving credibility to YEC.

neither has proof only poorly interpreted evidence they wont let go of.



I believe in UFO's, we do not know what is flying out there. I was talking with Chuck Yeager and he stated we know everything that flys in the sky. thats all I could get out of him on the subject. Not sure aliens have been here ever. Drones possibly.

who or whatever is out there, has so far made it clear they choose not to communicate in any way shape or form. Why, follows ones imagination. I personaly dont believe this pattern has ever been changed. Past or present.

I see no reason why this would change for ancient primitive barbaric people who would see a shooting star and claim angels or gods were coming to earth and then write about it.

 

[PolyHedral]

I'll consider the idea of alien visiting us when someone can give a reason why you'd expend the astronomical resources to do so.

"We know everything that flies in the sky" - According to NATO COSMIC Top Secret files, there are about 50 known races.

YouTube - ‪Cliff Stone & Bob Dean - The Cosmic Top Secret.‬‏ Unless this guy is totally lying, the USA has been trying to "acquire" "Highly evolved technology" and reverse engineer it....now you can imagine why they'd send Men in Black to silence anyone who might leak this.

why would an alien visit us when there is a reason for expenditure of astronomical resources?

Earth girls?

The resource expense largely depends on the technological level of the species in question. It may be that a jump across the galaxy requires very little energy relative to how much they have available.
