Maybe aliens were the first ones to genetically alter the DNA of apes/dolphins to humans?

If not, have you ever played the Quiji board?

I have, to fill my curiousity as a teenager and I do not recommend anyone to play it even though it can be bought in the stores with "Monopoly"
IT IS NOT A GAME and can be very dangerous with spirits attaching itself with you
If you have played it before, you can tell if someone is pushing or pulling, especially with 2 people playing only, I have tried it multiple times
In my experience, each spirit moves in a particular motion/speed, very distinguisable, and it was following us for weeks while lying to us when we asked for the spirits name
I have played with hand made boards and the one you can buy before too
I stopped because the last time I played, it didn't and wouldn't allow us to exit, and it said spelled out some demonic violent things

Some things just cannot be explained, man kind tries to justify everything scientifically and with reason by cause and effect...
And I was too young for alcohol and drugs at the time, so we were all sober, and played many times when I was in my early teens

Maybe Baron Davis is trying to sell a book, maybe he was high of percocets, maybe he has mental problems, or maybe he is telling the truth
I don't know, but those are my thoughts....

holy. ****in. ****.

1. Dimensional entities/craft? They might share the same world as us, but on a different level or plane of reality.

2. Time travelers?

3. A more advanced society from another planet? These aliens would be capable of bending space and time to get here or take a short cut. Wormhole? Like dk7th pointed out, they could not travel here in a conventional sense.

The board spelled "Isiah" and we freaked out, go high and ate "Dale and Thomas" drizzle corn for hours!

Very creepy!

on a different topic, here is something to chew on. When I was around 12, I lived in Springfield Gardens Queens (montauk blvd). My uncle from Roosevelt L.I. was there to keep an eye on us one late night. Above my room (well all the room on the 2nd floor) was a craw space and one night me and my sister kept hearing the distinctive sound of coins being dropped on the floor of the crawl space above. It freaked me and my sister out and we told our Uncle.

He climbed the stairs and used his flashlight to look around even though he didn't hear anything. Just wanted to put our minds at east. But, from time to time it would start up again and eventually my and my sister convinced him to let us sleep downstairs with him.

The next morning, my uncle went back up to look in the crawl space. He went up and crab walked around and guess what he found. A BAG FULL OF COINS. I remember one was a buffalo head nickel or penny from like 1918 and a bunch of foreign "gold" coins.

Don't know what happened to the coins and no one really talked about it anymore but, my parents and older family members also told tales about that house in Queens.

In essence, there if FAR to reality than what is written in Horatio's books.

it's impossible to conceptualize.

The laws of physics do not exactly make such a visit unlikely. Faster than light travel is being explored by Nasa and many other agencies. The issue lies with the means of propulsion. Also, mathematicians have already stated that it is more likely that they exist than not. Planets have been located in that "special zone" that would make life not only possible but, highly likely and, we are not talking little bits of bacteria here since many of these planets are actually older than our own.

So if aliens are walking the planet they would need a transportation vehicle that protects them from radiation.. Or their skin will not be human like.

so I guess you don't believe in the Lunar landing. What about the guys right now on the space station orbiting the planet.

I thought blkexec was talking about leaving or entering the atmosphere with just a spacesuit, but I could be wrong. Old enough to remember watching the first lunar landing and building Saturn 3 model rockets with my Dad. Brings back great memories.

Edit: meant to include the radiation belt, its early

I USED to like reading your posts, guess that's OVER now.

that makes two of us. The theory, broken down to its most elemental form suggests that life began with a single cell. Cells need to be programmed to multiply and such. Who programmed that first cell?

Something we probably can't even begin to comprehend.

My belief is that we are not alone in the universe but I am not sure if anything has made it here among us just yet. It wouldn't surprise me if they had - thus all of the technology, government monitoring etc. But I think humans are pretty intelligent life that can problem solve and create tools. There is a basic framework that governs how the universe works - our math and engineering capabilities have harnessed a small fraction of it and look at what we can already do.

The most frustrating part for me is that we seem to lack purpose and a common goal on this planet. We are destroying our home, distrustful of each other, wage war with one another, etc. are these the signs of intelligent life or a species that is stuck on the path to self destruction?

There is so much more out there that we should all be focused on as a collective - expanding into space, exploring, finding new worlds - yet we are missing out on it because we cannot work together on the level that we need to.

I have a theory. Its because of all the concrete. We have divorced ourselves from the natural world in favor of some artificial semblance. Our feet, we need contact with the grass and soul for the connection to our world is as physical as it is psychological. If you don't believe that, then consider the elements that we consist of. They are all found and part of nature.

We huddle in artificial construct that have few if any organic parts. Most of what we eat is so unnatural, in fact much of what we eat isn't organic either. No wonder we are failing as a species.

The observable universe is approximately 14 billion light years across. Mathematics can make even the most idiotically huge distances seem manageable. 14 billion? Our national debt's in the trillions. Alpha Centauri is "only" 6 trillion miles away.

Some of the best, most published astrobiologists have already pointed out that the number of factors that are all necessary at once for a habitable planet like ours creates such tremendous odds that even with a universe the size of ours, habitability is almost nearly impossible. The factors are coservatively estimated at at least 20. We're talking odds in the trillionths of a trillionth here. You'd be better off thinking you could win five lotteries everyday with the same 6 numbers. There are billions of galaxies with billions of stars each, but nothing anyone's observed at this point provides even the slightest hint of all the things required for conscious observers. Every single planet we've been able to see around stars in our own galaxy are gas giants. Look into real estate on Jupiter or one of its moons. Living there should be fun.

Your best bet from the best of atheistic/agnostic minds right now is the multiverse theory. Other invisible, undetectable universes that are on the other side of black holes. These universes pop up like bubbles, just because. Sounds a bit more intelligent than cave drawings or thinking Ezekiel was tripping out on mushrooms while watching ET fly around the Middle East.
