Do you think aliens made us

RE: Do you think aliens made us
I find "Ancient Aliens" enertaining, and sometimes informative, especially the mythology stuff. But I don't think the main ideas of the show are likely true.

What would "God" need with a starship?
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.'

Kirk needed one, and Shatner thinks he's God.

I might accept Nimoy being a god, but not Shatner.

Perhaps a god of egos...

Is God of/from earth? then does that not make him an alien?

Better yet. Does God live on earth? yet the claim is he lives in heaven which is not of this earth.

Now doesn't that make God a trans-dimensional alien by modern terms?

If you believe aliens ha anything to do with creation why can't that being have the title 'god?'

Three, possibly four, non sequiturs in four lines, that's quite an achievement.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

His .. exaggerated .. delayed .. speech is a large part of why I find the original series unwatchable.

Well, that's the grand thing about 'God', innit?  The word is so ridiculously nebulous that it can mean anything.  You can point to a toasted cheese sandwich and say, 'That's God!' and no one can gainsay you.  It's the only concept that has this quality.  If I were to point to a quacking water fowl and say, 'That's a rhinoceros' when everyone else calls it a duck, I'd be taken for a loony (and rightfully so).

But everything from the Great Barrier Reef to a small handful of gravel to a maggot-infested corpse in Somalia qualifies as 'God'.  So, if you want to title a 'trans-dimensional alien' (whatever the fuck that's supposed to be) as 'god', go right ahead.  It's important to remember, though, that when a word means everything, it - literally - means nothing.
