11:37am UK, Thursday July 24, 2008 Aliens do exist and have even contacted humans on Earth, according to top astronaut Dr Edgar Mitchell who was the sixth man on the Moon. l-alien
Dr Edgar Mitchell says aliens are just like little men
The truth has been hidden by governments for more than 60 years, the Moon walker says.
And he claims he is lifting the lid on a conspiracy to keep aliens a secret.
Dr Mitchell, who was on Apollo 14 in 1971, has told how he was aware of many UFO visits to Earth during his career with Nasa but each one was covered up.
The 77-year-old claims the space agency made contact with aliens, describing the beings as "little people who look strange to us".

I think the Klintoons more deserve to be put on permanent probe. Though Shrillery might think of that as heaven.
Actually, they could take virtually all the Senate and the House and 95% of the bureaucrats to Alpha Centauri on a one-way ticket . . . I wouldn’t cry much at all.
I gather you’re not much of a psychologist, either.
Nor a librarian used to filtering info?
Legion, in the eigth chapter of Luke’s gospel, shows demons know Whom Jesus is and do not hesitate to accord Him His rightful majesty. AND they plead to not be cast into the ‘abyss’, the bottomless, endless pit. If that’s not the description of a blackhole I haven’t seen a good description! ... Quix may be onto something here, with this thing of ETs being demons (?????)
Maybe. I will tell you this much: a couple of very alien looking plants have appeared in the yard. Looking for an exobotanist.
OK. Thanks.
I have you down as an emphatic skeptic.
Well put.
INDEED. Am very glad and relieved that you are awake to that.
Thx.
With all the hundreds of stars and galaxies in the universe
And we should also be aware that when the actual Antichrist figure spoken of in the Bible is unveiled, it may (or may not) be accompanied by alien (demon) visitors, but if these ‘aliens’ make their appearance, it would be expected that they would be facing all sorts of questions from our species, and one primary question would be (or should be) “Do you confess that Jesus Christ [CAME IN THE FLESH, died on the cross, rose the 3rd day,] is the Son of God, King of kings, Lord of lords and the Prince of Peace?”
Per Christ's NT instructions about testing the spirits.
Somehow, I don’t believe God will allow them to answer Chrit’s test question deceptively. Else Christ’s exhortation to test the spirits that way would be meaningless.
There is the business, too, of asking if Christ is their current chief boss!
The Drake equation is great for playing "what if". But many of it's terms are little more than onager heuristic estimates (wild ass guesses). Consider just one, the fraction of stars that have planets. The estimate for that one has been steadily growing over the past decade or two.
Agree about the distances though, unless one of us (civilizations) can break the light speed barrier somehow, and figure that is the reason *they* aren't here.
It's also possible that they are waiting for us, that is they are behind us technologically, which gets to a couple of other factors in the Drake equation. How long to develop a technological civilization, and how long such civilizations last before blowing themselves up (or otherwise destroying themselves).
Maybe, and maybe not. One interpretation of quantum mechanics seems to indicate a near infinite number of universes, and growing very rapidly. I think they had to make up a term for the collection of all the universes, multiverse, sometimes megaverse. See this Wikipedia article, which is well footnoted with links to "real" articles.
However not so long ago, galaxies were referred to as "Island Universes", perhaps the original poster meant it in that context.
Our DNA is only slightly more complex than that of chimpanzees, yet it is only about half as complex as DNA could theoretically be.
yet it is only about half as complex as DNA could theoretically be. And let me add to that by saying “as we know it”. We are still babes feeding off mother earths breast milk.We sit here and dream of the universe using earth learned physics and ideas.Oh, and one more thing, if we are a product of the Big Bang, who is to say somewhere on the otherside of infinity another big bang didn’t occur.

Cool pic.
And the coolest thing about that picture is that it is a demonstration of how carefully God hung the earth so that our night sky was not just a fuzzy cloud of closely packed stars if we were located in one of the spiral arms or in a non-spiral galaxy, or worse yet, not in the galactic habital zone.
Hints? There have been plenty of hints. What looks like fossilized life in meteorite thought to be be from Mars, to cite just one example.
One of Saturn's moons has liquid water(geysers, somewhat like Yellowstone's only larger), CO2, and even a hydrocarbon as complex as propane. CO2 and propane are hints that there might be life there.
