Guys I'm new here...but if aliens walked among us, would it be like the white man walking among the American native Indians....

Whenever a superior culture meets with an inferior culture, the superior dominates....so are we aliens, sorry don't buy it...

Ancient astronomical theorist say yes ..Aw hell no not another episode of sheer speculation ..tombs changes the channel ..

until there's any proof one way or the other, it's all speculation...

imho, a truly 'superior' culture is the one which is self contained enough to have no need to 'dominate' anyone else,,,

Of course.

But did they become the superior by domination?
As the human race has?

when was one religion/god ever enough?

never
why?
because people still kill/argue in the name of religions, yet we were raised to believe in God.

do we need need God?
yes. for example when a person baptize a child for example we need a priest so therefore the church is the best place to go.. just an example.

Well, I was thinking of this the other day,
If you are none religious I feel you can still go to church, ie, a funeral or on a day of remembrance. It is a place of calm where you can hear your thoughts.
Still be good to have proof of both though, aliens and the big guy!

"a god" but there's more than one... how many muslims are baptized in a church? maybe we should have a god MMA match, to see which one is the best...

i don't have enough information/knowledge about Muslim culture.

i can only speak for myself. the above opinion was just an example.
do I pray? yes. do i go to church? yes.

but there's more than one "God"..probably.

And a very good one lu

Church....good place to pick up women....Miss msharmony there....

On the Alien thing....now that Trump is in the White House, it should be leaked and on the World News, anyhow the Ruskie would know....

the Russians were talking about leaking some kind of info about aliens a few years ago, then they became the democrats enemy...

....by the by, Hollywood says all the proof since the Civil War is in the bottom draw of the Presidents desk, Trump will find it before his first term is out...
And the Royal family are a race of reptilian aliens.....Hum!!

....Yes you get a lot of that in small isolated communities...
As a side note old King John must have put it about a bit...

How do you keep a secret?
Hide it in plain sight.
Then make fools out of those who say they can see it.
No need for a "cover-up" when you can condition perception.

No. I believe if they exist they have become superior by manipulation and not by domination(at least not of the physical and aggressive kind).

Make people believe that something is good for them and you do not need to 'dominate' in the traditional sense, people will go willingly forward.

If you think about scientific, medical, and technological advances and the superior respect and trust we put in these fields as a people physical 'domination' will eventually be a thing of the past.

The medical and scientific communities work together to learn how to recreate human life without procreation as God intended. They can mutilate a Male to appear female and mutilate a female to appear like a Male.

They say cloning is a good thing to replace the sick or flawed parts of our own bodies, so we go willingly believing that is where it will stop.

They say internet is good because of how easy it is to find information and little is said about how much easier it is to find misinformation.

They say autonomous cars are safer, so we ease into the idea that giving over control is 'better' for us.

They say autonomous weapons will make for safer wars, so we ease into the idea that removing the human loss from war will only lead to bigger losses when the technology is left only to a selective few to control.

We are too easily led to need to be dominated, is my point.

My theory has always been that 'aliens' are just a future version of ourselves that has finally conquered time travel and are trying to find places in our history that we might change to correct whatever things we have ended up screwing up.

I guess that's a possibility... But the math says there is other life in the universe... Over a hundred billion galaxies with over a hundred billion stars in each... There's more stars then we have grains of sand in all our beaches....
