A tough question touching upon the existence of aliens?

Question

I think we would not be able to detect aliens even if they existed because they would be something beyond our boundry of perception. For instance, they (very probably) dont like like us. Second, they can't look like anything else on this earth because otherwise we would mistake them for that object or animal. So clearly, for us to classify an "alien" as an alien, it would have to be something that is clearly distinct from anything else on earth. But then how could we perceive something that does not belong in our dimensions and looks nothing like anything in our existence, and so we can't even imagine what it would possibly look like? Correct?

Answer 1

true for most people, but A real philosopher has no preconceptions of form. They view the world as a new and different every day.

Answer 2

I liberal Christian once commented to me "What good is alien art when no one can understand it?". I think this sums up the whole of humanity, minus that portion of a percent that would be able to decipher the data. Most humans are tuned in to the collective social consciousness, particularly when they reach adulthood.

There is a legendary story about the Spanish ships that first reached the isles of South America. It was noted that the only Indians who could see the ships on the horizon where the shamen. People turn off, shut out what doesn't make sense in their immediate universe, and the more industrial a society becomes, the more closed to the unexpected people also become.

Indeed, it may even explain the unexplained coincidences that people attribute to a "sympathetic God", as the events that inspire people are often very abstract in nature.

Answer 3

Quite possibly. However. It could be that over many years of government testing. Especially with chimpanzees in testing space craft and other classified projects.. Most of the time a UFO turns out to be a cutting edge aircraft. Like the stealth bomber or the "FLYING WING". These secret unknown aircraft led to many UFO sightings. So now the "monkey" part of this idea. What if, because of the testing of gravity, speed, and hypersonic or lightning speed or even time travel, something went wrong with the test chimps? Suppose scientist where trying to find ways to protect humans against the effects of gravity and the effects of speed trying to zip into another time!!! During these experiments using chimps the genetics and drugs had caused an evolutionary mutation of chimps into the big headed, big eyed, supposedly super intelligent ALIENS we see ever so often on TV shows. They claim that a UFO crashed with THINGS on board? So basically we have dramatic advances in technology but a byproduct is the mutated chimps that look like the ALIENS we have seen in so many shows. How do we know?

Answer 4

Why Is it easier to beleve that "aliens" are from another
dimension rather than outer space? The existence of life on other planets seem more possible than trans dimensional travel.
As for them not liking us, the only negative reports are the tests;
particularly the probing.
Out of the hundreds of thousands of reported sighting, what are the odds of all of them being mistakes, or made up? It would be highly improbable that all of them were wrong. If that's true, then how many have been true? Quod era demonstratum.

Answer 5

Among the planets of the solar system, only the earth has
the optimal atmosphere for living beings.

The Vishnu Purana says that the earth is merely one of
thousands of millions of inhabited worlds like itself to be
found in the universe. There will be only one planet which
resembles our earth in the planetory system of each of
the stars. Since they are created by the one Alimighty who
is infinite, they all must look similar. This excludes the
possibility of E.T. (extra terrestial beings with fantastic
gears) proposed by some science finction writers.

Answer 6

I would in some ways agree with you, I am a 56 year old kind of conservative thinker, but have always left an open door for aliens, because of thoughts like yours. It is hard to close the door, when all the facts aren't in. And I have a feeling they are friendly :)

Answer 7

Oh my!

I Do see where you are coming from on this one, but do not like to entertain the thought. As I view anything in our history of "UFO's/Aliens" as either DEMONIC or Gov. Cover-Ups on test subjects that we know nothing about.

I am a Christian, and truly believe that earth, is the only planet with life. LIFE; as IN: Humanity....us creatures of thought, reason, love, compassion, and the inner NEED to fill that "GOD SHAPED HOLE" that is within all of us.

GOD BLESS YOU,

Answer 8

I disagree. There are physical limits as to what form matter can take within certain environments. If we see something moving around and checking us out, we'll know it's an alien.

Answer 9

Why can't it be bacteria for an instance? Why does it have to be a visible sizable creature just like us? Maybe trillions and trillions of bacteriae are found outside our solar system, and we couldn't discover their existence yet. right?

Answer 10

your question confuses me, slightly :) "does not belong in our dimensions and looks nothing like anything in our existence" is a stretch. a being from another planet would be similar to us as much as different, in my opinion. its is true that our worlds would not be identical, yet both our species are bound by the same laws, such as gravity, evolution, etc. i apologise in advance if i completely misinterpreted your question.
