Mars needs women !!

And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. 2. And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: 3. Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, 4. the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. 5. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. 6. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.

The word of God can be interpreted to not only say that there are aliens but that they are the source of our knowledge, and suffering, and the reason for our evolutionary jump.

Are you a scientologist?

Na, he's just seen Prometheus.

Mars needs women !!

Who doesn't?

[Rhondazvous]

Does he watch THEM masturbate too? O_o

With morbid fascination.
hey that's three words. That could go in the never ending thread somewhere.

With all that religious babble aside I think the possibility of life elsewhere is more plausible than gods and ghosts. We've been here for billions of years and still have no evidence of much superficial claims, but until science gets us deep into space that is left unknown. I can't say I believe it, but I'm open to it. If we ever get to that point I'm willing to bet that we'll be the alien invaders though.

A fair statement.

I personally base my opinion on that of a very intelligent scientist. 

Stephen Hawking on Aliens

"If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn't turn out very well for the American Indians."

He's right.  If there are aliens advanced enough to come and visit us, we will be totally fucked if they decide to do so.  In fact, I am inclined to think that we will be even more completely fucked than the American Indians have been.

Fortunately, the extreme distances mean that it might be impossible for any being in the universe to make such a trip.  I am hoping that that is the case, or at least that they wait to fuck the earth until after I die from other causes.
