You operate on the basis of the second ‘if’ in one of its variations. Many operate on the basis of the first ‘if’: 1)if the ETs are demons; 2) if there are ETs they are just as real as us ... the same conclusion is reached in either case, that open proclamation will be the end of humankind’s universal innocence, but only ‘if’ the reality of ETs is proven by us or by them, by accident or design.
I wonder what the reaction would be if such a race came here preaching to us how we should live...I suspect the left would vilify them as well.
Gort could handle the lefties. ;-)
LOL...
I'm wondering how this world would receive basically human beings who had not surrendered Eden, and came preaching to us about the need to incorporate a worshipful, moral, humble component to our existence, and perhaps even brought with them some type of "proof" that atheists state "does not exist."
Does that mean there is more than one tree in the midst of more than one Garden, a tree of immortality?
Even beings with tens of thousands of years lifetimes would find travel at sub-light speed to be booooring to go through just to come here. If they’re coming, there must be another trick.
I have no reason to believe that an omnipotent Creator would not limit himself to one "world." While I believe humanity and the human experience are unique, I don't think that precludes other races, beings, creatures, etc. from having been called into existence (and in that regard, perhaps my use of the term "human beings" in a previous post was inappropriate). Certainly, I would think that the GOD who saw fit to reveal himself to his creatures on this planet would not see fit to commune with his beings on another planet (or universe for that matter).
Lewis presents the hypothetical fictionally in his "Space Trilogy," then discusses it in more serious terms in (at least) one of his other tomes, although exactly which one, I don't specifically recall at the moment.
Well said...
INDEED.
Thankfully, I realized that before I listened to Stanton shred it.
It is kinda funny.
Actually, even Obumma is not quite slick enough to qualify. And, he has too much baggage.
Remember, the Israeli’s will believe he really is the long awaited Conquering King Messiah.
I certainly agree Obumma is creepy.
And, he’d be horrific in the job. Even more so than McChurian.
I just think he’s a 2 bit player . . . dancing by the string pulls.
methinks you haven’t looked VERY hard.
Bravo, well said...
INDEED. While loathing his jerk-y-ness . . . I felt embarrassed for him.
If that was a script from the puppet masters, I hope they paid him well. That was absurd.
Stanton played with him like a tiger a mouse.
You make some great points.
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 is the Son of God, King of kings, Lord of lords and the Prince of Peace?”
And bearing in mind that the Devil is the father of liars, and a master of deception and deceit, we can expect those ‘aliens’ to smile, nod their big grey heads and say “of course we do!” Because it wouldn’t surprise me at that point if they followed up that statement with “Jesus sent us to prepare His way for Him!”
And millions will be deceived.
Have read of a number of such patents.
Still haven’t seen one tooling down . . . just above the highway etc.
I can’t imagine the folks who love to control us so much through energy would allow such to be readily available. And they certainly keep watch over the patents.
Thanks.
I have you both down that the Dems will lease ANWR before UFO’s will be proven; widely seen on the news etc.
Is that right?
