Why I don't believe in ET...

[ozzy72]

You mean my monitor is an alien lifeform?

[Woodlouse2002]

Quick! Hit it with a brick!

[ozzy72]

Last time I tried that it attacked me with a lightsaber

[Woodlouse2002]

Gotta be quicker and more subtle with the brick.


(Though bricks and subtle don't often go together...)

I cannot believe that before our Kevin's forum devastating explosion, and his subsequent escape to Florida amidst the ensuing hurricanes which destroyed most of the Southern USA, everything in the World, as we know it, was full of peacefulness and light....  :o...!

Paul.... ...!

...our Kevin is a dark force to be reckoned with....
..trust me... ...!

If only you knew the power of the Dark Side...   Mwa ha ha!

[alrot]

I'm the one supposed to said that!

Just because we can't see something, or haven't seen something happen doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. It's pretty ignorant (in the literal sense of the word) to assume that we are now at the apex of knowledge, and if something doesn't fit into the current theories, then it is impossible.

Also, just because some sci-fi writer has gotten a hold of and dramatized certain obscure theories about space travel doesn't mean that we should discount those theories as flights of fancy and nothing more. For the life of me, I can't find any info on him, but there was a man named Hiem* who had a theory, which stated that there were more dimensions than what we normally perceive. He also theorized that these dimensions could be used for long distance travel. Unfortunately some of the popular star-trek type stuff has been based on it, so it is no longer considered plausible.

Somewhat surprisingly, I do not see anyone who has said that ET's do NOT exist.

[TacitBlue]

I doubt that they have visited us, like you said, we are insignificant. But at the same time, we still look at pond scum through microscopes.

Another thing to think about, how would we communicate with a creature from another planet.  We can't even communicate effectively with creatures on our own planet, that have a lot more in common with us that an alien probably would.  Even in our own species there is a difference in communication, morals, values, etc.  

I do however believe there may be something more out there, but I don't know what it may be, or if it is anything more than a bacteria soup in a pond on another planet.

Even if the aliens haven't truely visited this world, one thing is certain though. There are particles out there that can reach this earth from well beyond this system faster than anything else we have learned so far*.

Of course ET's exist and of course they visit this planet.

There was even a film about it for christs sake. What more proof do you need?
