I have never faced ridicule, at least to my face. Perhaps it is because I feel so self-assured and trust in myself. I know what I have experienced to be the Truth and therefore have no doubt about them...and I think it shows. I learned long ago that if you hold your head high when others taunt you, they begin to question their own actions and belief systems.

At my employment I overheard a conversation as I neared a turn down the hallway..I heard my name mentioned, so I stopped and listened. Two people were talking and one said to the other, "Why doesn't Lori defend herself?" The response, "Because she doesn't have to."
I truly believe that when we get caught up defending ourselves it shows we have doubts and are questioning ourselves, statements,etc.
I do admit to the fact that I am willing to change the way I view my experiences and convictions because over time when new information is gathered and new insights occur, we have to be flexible to review the past statements we may have made. It think it important to allow everyone room enough to grow. Just recently a memory came to me about the stuff that happened to me in the 1970s that has changed my view of what took placel and I have had to adjust my perspective of what happened in my work-in-process autobiography.

So, the long short of it all...walk talk, be confident, but always open to new insights. Believe everything and believe nothing and you allow yourself to grow in understanding and knowledge.

I think thats a very fair theory. Even if you believe in god and that god has visited us. God very well could have been beings from another planet and may have created us. So in a sense some religions could be right on point just wrong about who or what God is.

When I first heard the theory that we were created by an advanced alien society it made a lot of sense to me. It explained the 'how' of our creation.

I love this idea, Lori. This is possibly the "why" of our creation.

I will try again..... I first posted with a link to the Master of Speech web site but being a new member my post was deleted..... sigh. Anyway the "Master of Speech" website is easily found on Google if you desire to read it. Its a very interesting read about the Dogon Tribe and their story of how beings (the Nummo) from a watery world came to earth and messed with our DNA a couple of hundred thousand years ago. I found it interestings that the beings came from a watery world considering that most UFO sightings are around water and many believe that there are undersea alien bases. I live in an area near the sea and where the sea flows into the river. I see many UFOs around here....

I prefer to keep an open mind on this subject simply because we don't know..... I also believe the body was created as a vehicle for the spirit. The spirit being formless / consciousness..... we are here to live our lives, enjoy our individuality and to be challenged.

Ive always loved this theory and think that it very well may be true. We could just be like a giant ant farm.

Yes HUMANS are genetic hybrids, originally created by ET Beings from other planetary systems. That is why Humans have a mixture of Reptilian DNA and Mammalian DNA, go look at GCSE Biology Textbooks in WHSmith and Tesco, to verify that!

Maybe we extincted ourselves long ago and now a micro chip is re living our best memories over and over. This would be conspirital since christians speak out against a MARK OF THE BEAST(animal rfid), but truth could be that forever exists on disk and if you have one your lucky enough to know your here....just maybe...huh?

To the average sunbather, they are just rows of indistinct brown rocks that poke out of the sea in western Australia. But scientists now believe that these clumps have a fundamental place in the history of the planet - they are thought to be the earliest evidence of life on Earth, dating back nearly 3.5bn years.
A report published today claims that the rocks, which once lay in shallow waters, were shaped by some of the first organisms. The analysis suggests that life gained its first foothold almost as soon as the atmosphere and oceans began to swirl and the planet calmed from its violent creation a billion years earlier.

Researchers studied a near-continuous six-mile stretch of reef in the Pilbara region of western Australia. They found intricate structures within the rock formations - called stromatolites - that were almost certainly sculpted by an ecosystem of billions of primitive microbes.

Modern stromatolite reefs can still be found in highly saline tidal waters around the world, including Hawaii and South Africa, with stunning stretches of reef at Shark Bay, in Western Australia.

The researchers identified seven distinct and intricate rock formations in the ancient reef, known as the Strelley Pool Chert. Among them were tiny domes, wavy structures and formations that resembled upturned ice cream cones and open egg boxes.

The stromatolite reef at Pilbara has been dated to between 3.43bn and 3.35bn years old, when it would have been submerged by a shallow sea.

Stromatolites have divided the scientific community since they were first described three decades ago. Some argue that rather than being the work of early microbes, they were formed by nothing more exciting than chemical or geological activity. Their case is bolstered by the fact that few, if any, fossils of microbes are found within stromatolites. But others disagree, and believe stromatolites are so unusual in their designs that they must have been created by living organisms.

In the latest study, which appears in the journal Nature today, a team of scientists led by Abigail Allwood, a PhD student at Macquarie University, Sydney, explain how lapping waves, storms and sea level changes would have altered the behaviour of a thriving microbe ecosystem to give rise to each of the seven different structures discovered.

They believe the stromatolite reef built up over a period of around 80m years, reaching a thickness of up to 400 metres in parts. As waves and currents gently tossed sediments on top of the microbes, some grains were trapped and bound into piles by them, eventually creating the cones, ripples and domes that are found in the rock.

Strikingly, the rock formations are not only the oldest evidence for life on Earth, but also of a complex ecosystem, in which many microbes lived alongside each other. It suggests that the very first organisms on Earth may have emerged even earlier, possibly around warm undersea volcanic vents, but only flourished when the violent storms and volcanic activity of the period gave way to a warm and hospitable marine environment, said Ms Allwood.

"It's beginning to look like life wasn't emerging and eventually getting a toehold, it was waiting in the wings for the right conditions, ready to pounce on to the sea floor to make these reefs," she said.

"Although life's actual emergence may have been long before 3.43bn years, the Strelley Pool Chert reef - as the oldest evidence of life flourishing - is associated with relatively normal marine conditions," she added.

Many experts believe the study is the most convincing evidence yet to confirm that stromatolites are essentially fossils of the earliest microbes to emerge on Earth.

"This work represents extremely compelling evidence that the Pilbara stromatolites are true fossils created by some of the oldest life forms to exist on Earth," said Gregory Webb, a geologist at the school of natural resource sciences at Queensland University of Technology.

Ms Allwood said that the study of the Pilbara stromatolites revealed telltale signs of life, or biosignatures, that could help in the search for life on other planets. "The techniques and approaches can be adapted for the exploration of Mars, but most importantly, studies such as ours help to identify the types of biosignatures we should look for, in what type of geological setting they are likely to be found, and what observations and experiments must be made in order to test whether a fossil-like structure is in fact biological," she said.

"These structures date from a time, 3.4bn years ago, when we suspect conditions on Earth and Mars were broadly similar to each other," said Dr Ian Crawford, a planetary scientist at Birkbeck College, London. "Since life appeared on Earth under these conditions it is certainly legitimate to speculate that it may have evolved on Mars as well, even if it subsequently became extinct. Only future exploration of Mars will determine whether or not it did so, but searching for ancient stromatolite-like structures should certainly be high on the list of future exploration strategies."

Matter is never created, nor detroyed. Is that very logical?

Do you also believe, like Judeo/Christian scholars that the Earth is 12,000 years old? That the dinosaurs were a practical joke by God to test our faith(to quote Bill Hicks)? That a man lived in a whale? That another man lived to over 900? Shall i go on? The alien theory, admittedly, is slightly barking, but when you compare it to the belief that the universe was created in six days- not so barking after all. For all we know, Jesus didn't ascend into heaven- but was beamed up, star-trek style,lol. Not at all convinced by the alien experiment theory, but to use the God argument to debunk it is like saying that there's no such thing as Father Christmas because the Easter Bunny told you, :lol:

This is quite an old thread by now, I must've missed it?

I can see the 'attractiveness' of this theory, which, like all the best theories is not really possible to test or prove. I suspect it does have some basis in fact, though why so many people have this ingrained, ancient belief that we must have been 'created' by someone or something remains a mystery to me - probably so we can conveniently blame someone else when things go wrong?

Whatever, the concept of 'Aliens' intrigues me, and there seems to be some surprisingly detailed modern 'internet folklore' concerning different types/species, their origins and locations, motives, allegiances (to each other and us) and reasons for their interest in earth. I have no doubt that there ate many types of alien throughout our Universe, if only through basic science and statistical probability, and logically many are bound to be more developed and advanced than us humans, possibly by billions of years. In other words, they may well have managed to conquer 'Relativity' and travel far and wide with little effort.

How they have done that is a mystery to human scientists, who only managed to fly at all a centuey ago, and then took 60 years to get into space! If however you are aware of the invisible realm of 'the Next World', which I personally believe is only one of many, the dimension of time which hampers us and our spacecraft seems to 'operate' differently there, and Newtonian mechanics appear to be absent as well.

I would therefore assume that any similarly humanoid species to us would, as part of their development, discover this 'dimension', accept it, eventually understand it, and not only travel in it but inhabit it as well. We haven't even got past the 'acceptance' bit on the whole.... but surely will in time, just as we have learned to accept magnetism, electricity and microbiology.

What I am suggesting is that most 'alien visitors' to our planet are not actual space travellers, but inter-dimensional travellers, which explains the way so many are sighted, sensed and witnessed, but little physical evidence of them is ever found. Probably just as well for us humans, as our planet has vast resources which would doubtless be of great interest to alien visitors which used the physics and chemistry of conventional science to travel with, and were confined in physical bodies similar to ours. I hardly dare mention the 'food' aspects of this!

In other words, the vast majority (and most highly developed) 'types' are likely to exist on a spiritual plane, not 'physical' beings, having conquered death eons ago, just as we will inevitably - fairly soon I hope. I don't just mean learn not to fear death, but no longer have any need for physical bodies. In fact, that could well explain why we aren't receiving old radio and TV signals from nearby 'alien civilisations' - they've moved beyond such nonsense as part of their evolution...?
