Professor Matthew Bailes said 'the history of weak civilisations contacting more advanced civilisations is not a happy one'
"... he warned that making contact with aliens capable of transmitting powerful signals to Earth over tens of thousands of light years could lead humanity into disaster, because they're likely to be so much more advanced."

Fair enough. And on that score, our dinky EM output (TV, radio, etc.) degrades sufficiently at about one parsec that we are probably background noise at best....
The Americas and Australia are nowhere to be found in The Bible.
We clearly don’t exist!
I found this shocking declassified documentary that proves there is an alien plot to steal earth’s resources!
For example, the moon is covered with alien mines!
The presidential debates better address this cosmic threat!

Why would extraterrestrials allow liberals to discover them?
Sure about that?
How could I be otherwise?
“If they are advanced enough to pick up our deliberate signals they are advanced enough to watch I Love Lucy”
Once they watch network television we will be marked as an easy target.
It’s a cookbook!
One of the truly great lines heard on TV
All of the peoples in the Bible are still here, just under different names. A few examples are how “Mizraim” is translated “Egypt”, “Javan” is translated “Greece”, and “Cush” is translated “Ethiopia”.
“We’ve come to serve man!”
“Given what my Bible tells me, humans are IT for intelligent life and the Earth is IT for life.”
The Bible doesn’t say whether the Lord has created life, let alone intelligent life, anywhere else. I assume that we are the only ones, but we aren’t told and therefore we don’t know.
I would not be surprised if there is non-intelligent life in the universe. Plants, trees, etc. Our God is a Creator who loves life. It wouldn’t surprise me a bit if there were Earth-like planets out there filled with living things.
I do know one thing, though: If there is intelligent life out there, we won’t be hearing from them.
Earth is a war zone. A planet in rebellion. If there are intelligent beings out there, they were created by God. And created by Him, there would be a huge NO FLY ZONE all around this region of space.

Given what my Bible tells me, humans are IT for intelligent life and the Earth is IT for life.
Not to get into a religious debate, because I believe in God, and am a Christian, but when the Bible was written, we still thought the earth was flat, and that the Sun revolved around the earth.
Science gives us the ability to better see God’s wonders.
Knowing now how almost infinite the universe is I can’t believe Earth is God’s only life giving planet.
He gave us eyes to see, and a mind capable of learning, growing, and understanding for a reason.
BTW, all the peoples of the Bible? What are the Amekelites called these days?
How about the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites?
Then, I guess that Genesis 1, 2 Peter 3:7,9-10, and Revelation 21:1 are all wrong. If there is even ONE contradiction or error in the Bible, it is worthless! Oh well, we’ll just toss the Bible out and start all over again, being our own gods!
Ooops, THAT is what the lefties have done and look at the mess we’re in today!
You do understand that a belief in God and the possibilty that we are not his only creations are not mutually exclusive.....right?
You beat me to it. See my post 35.
Great minds and all.
Deflective argument.
The remnants of those people were absorbed into the identity of “Arab”.
The numbskulls never consider that we might be the most advanced.
