    My concern is for you, not the general populus.
    Despite this, most cosmologists and scientists do accept that ETL should most certainly exist elsewhere, and ETI at a slightly rarer rate.
    The sheer, probably infinite, extent of our Universe, and the sheer numbers of moons, planets, stars, galaxies that abound attest to this.
    Contact between species is difficult due to the time factor, the limited universal speed limit and distances factors:
    No Earth visitations and contact are evidenced.

    My point being is this;

    The evolution of our intellect can be compared to life forms and our ancient past. We have no comparitive life forms to compare our evolution of intellect to in the bigger picture of the Universe.

    Hence intellect in the Universe can be a 100,000yrs ; a million yrs; or a billion yrs ahead of us. Or any yrs in between.

    Advanced beings have been here. We just have to have the courage to accept this.

    And Hitler tried to get information about supernatural forces. And couldn't.
    And Russell tried to get information about a teapot orbiting near Mars. And couldn't.


    Riv, you are trolling. You are attempting to stir the pot with nothing but insinuations. You have produced no substance of your own to back anything you allude to.

    I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't feed trolls.

    But I try to feed ignorance so that ignorance can become aware. Ignorance evolves. To understanding from awareness.

    I already admitted that I'm an alien. I know this cause my mom told me.

    Then share the knowledge that your alien parents hold.

    We've been suppressing knowledge all over the world to those that are not enlightened enough.

    Star Trek is real!

    Star Trek is non-sense philosophy. The individual is religated to the whole. The individual has no hope of fulling its destiny . man or woman or woman or man , the order of either is irrelevent.

    star trek is socialism at its peak.

    Space can be an unforgiving place. This is why the Federation is military. We were at war with the Klingons a heck of a long time. Wake up and smell reality.

    Tell you something little bang: I'm as certain as anyone could be that ETL exists at most stages throughout the universe. And I would seriously give my right arm to actually meet up with one should they ever make it to Earth.
    But in reality, and not withstanding the conspiracies and such that abound, there is no convincing evidence of any Alien contact or visitation.
    ps: I have also been a witness to a UFO.

    Well put. Although I personally fail at the last hurdle in feeding the trolls.

    Me too! I've seen a U.F.O. A ball of orage light fell from the sky and before it crashed into the ground it changed trajectory and colour and flew off faster than anything I've ever known. It could only have been a U.F.O!
