It would be just like aliens to waste a good holodeck like that.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

As for the question, yeah, there can only be one answer. The question is basically "If ET's are real, then ET's are real".

What is "OP"?

It's called "Phishing". Nothing wrong with the method just simply a form of the Socratic method.

The new Wolfenstein game isn't actually based on real life dude.

I'm starting to believe the OP is a few snags short of a barbie.

OP = Original Post. Sometimes Original Poster. You.

Don't you have Google on your computer?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

It seems we could connect the NAZI info with some data. It may be that all Biblical references(Flood and other biblical events) were simply events which were later twisted into "legends" missing accurate data or info.

"religions" are FLAWED interpretations of actual events in the past.
