Aliens. What are they like?

@Setanta,

Why do you try so hard to prove others wrong?!

@Germlat,

Why do you make unsubstantiated slighting remarks about me?

THUNK!!
That ominous thud you heard was the trap being sprung on your gallows, here's the verse that sent you plummetting to your doom.. Smile

Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, not lording it over those entrusted to you" (1 Peter 5:2-3)

@Setanta,

Simply trying to understand your stance as it appears to me...no disrespect meant.

@Romeo Fabulini,

Right . . . as though preachers ever let a little thing like scripture stand in the way of their wealth and power. How much money does your government spend every year to maintain the cathedrals in your silly little country?

Romeo shoots! Romeo misses! As usual . . .

What makes you think wealthy powerful preachers are true Christians?
They may fool you, but they can't fool JC-
"Not all who call me 'Lord,Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven. Then I'll tell them plainly, I never knew you, get away from me" (Matt 7:21-23)

True Christians GIVE cash away, not rake it in.. Smile

"Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit" (2 Cor 2:17)

As for "silly little Britain", if it wasn't for us going over to civilise America you'd still be scalping each other, talking Apache and living in wigwams.. Smile

A feeble evasion of the obvious.

The "not true christians" scam is a common one.

@Setanta,

Why don't we all just stop giving Romeo the ball? We can play around him.

Hey Lustig Andrei I see you're in Hawaii, so on behalf of all Brits I'd like to say a heartfelt thanks to you and your mates for going over there and taking the islands off the heathens as payback for eating Captain Cook.. Smile

Still on the thread topic: Aliens. What are they like?,
this Twilight Zone episode entitled "Will the real Martian please stand up?" explores the 'aliens in human form' theme.
A UFO has crashed into a country pond in a blizzard and sunk out of sight, but the police discover footprints in the snow leading from the pond to a nearby diner.
Entering, they see a bus driver (4th from left), his 7 passengers and the diner owner.
Yet the driver swears he only had 6 passengers when he left the depot, so who - or what - is the 7th who's slipped in among them?

@Romeo Fabulini,

Obviously Romeo you are wrong the U.S. more than proved it could be more than a colonial conquest but instead a world superpower . Don't rest on your laurels for centuries ...it makes you look well..you've heard it before.

I'm sure I don't know what "The Twilight Zone" has to do with the probably nature of aliens.

That episode explores the theme that if aliens looked exactly like humans they could be among us and we wouldn't know it.. Smile

Incidentally 'The Stone Tape'" is a TV movie that explores the possibility that maybe computers can detect aliens and ghosts.
In this clip the computer begins printing out (at 1:20) what seems to be a warning- "pray.....soul......pray.....prayer"-

@Romeo Fabulini,

The odds of separate evolution leading to the same form are negligible. Science isn't done by checking with Hollywood.
