Human mental capacity or cheating?Alien knowledge!!?

Question

1900s saw world war 1 with primitive weapons world war two with atom bombs and 1969 with a manned spacecraft landing on the moon!! What was man doing before that on earth for 10 million years? Discovery Channel says that MJ2 crash a closely guarded secret at the Pentagon gave knowledge to the Americans and they capitalise on it and sell obselete technology to the world which suits them and constantly remains ahead of the rest of the world!! Could this be true that the space crafts actually crashed and this actually happened?
Why don't space crafts crash in other countries though I have personally seen (along with a whole village population and my family with one person from the army, one a scientist from 3M USA and an Economist from Oregon University and me from London University- in short -normal people!!) something from a distance in 1972 which could be termed as UFO and the next days national papers had them on the head lines with photographs of capsized cars & scooters on trees!!

Answer 1

Hi Prophet,

Alien knowledge, definitely! Although I have to admit that your account of the sighting in 1972 is an encounter of the second kind, strange lights in the sky. If it had been of the third or fourth kind, it would have been just a bit more interesting. This method of classification of UFOs is from J Allen Hynek. They are:

#1. An unidentified "Daylight Disc" exhibiting unnatural flight characteristics.
#2. An unidentified "Nocturnal Light" exhibiting unnatural flight characteristics.
#3. An observation of one or more occupants associated with one or more crafts.

Of course, if you're not careful you can get into all sorts of weird, new age stuff. Still this mystery is still pretty interesting. I just wish there were some rational thread to all this. It lapses too quickly into Alien Gods, Government Secrets and Invasion from the Stars! Don't believe me? Just take a look at this:

By the way, I come in peace.

Answer 2

Although I do believe in God your example doesn't carry much weight. The reason why? Simple enough. Because we are the intelligent thinkers, the ones gifted with reason and ration and abstract thought, we are also gifted with creativity and imagination. This imagination, some could argue, also allows us to imagine other worlds, deities, etc. Imagination lets us think something is so without needing proof. But it is still an imagination, not proof. Imagination is a luxury of the intelligent thinking process. A muskrat never ponders God. Everything to them is survival specific. They see food, danger, safety, reproduction based on their limited reality. If a muskrat where blessed with the higher reaches of intelligence then the muskrat would also be blessed with creative imagination. What he can't then explain, some would say, he provides answers himself by imagining the answers. Any the next generation of muskrats embrace the imagined answer as valid. Sorry, but you'll have to do better than this as an example. We have no proof that there is a God. Our proof comes from somewhere within our own instincts, own inner compass that tells us something is there that we cannot prove on a physical plane.

Answer 3

If you took the trouble to do a little research you would see that all technology follows on from what has happened before. There is nothing remarkable about the progression and all steps can be seen. As Newton said, "If I have seen further, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants."

Do not disparage human endeavour, learning and scholarship by bringing in sky people for whom there is absolutely no evidence - despite all you read on the internet.

Answer 4

Exactly what disaster are you prophecying? And why does your question have to be so godawful long?

WE did not flip over any cars!
