Have you ever heard of Hermes?
Go find out, read and learn. Hermes actually found a way One can learn about the unknown without having to visit. It may be a difficult concept for ya ZR, but I promise it will be worthwhile.

Hermeticism is religious philosophy, not science. The only things one can learn through its study are the beliefs of others.edit on 14-1-2014 by draknoir2 because: (no reason given)

I just love ignorance, don't you?

Here...go read learn, dispel ignorance.

Elephants don't use their feet for manipulation either, but that doesn't mean they are poorly adapted to their environments.
Apes don't walk or run very well... their feet aren't much use for that. Not a design flaw, just an evolutionary response to their environmental needs. It's a configuration that works for them.
Aye-Ayes have a really long finger. While it would be clumsy and awkward on a human it serves a particular purpose for them.edit on 14-1-2014 by draknoir2 because: (no reason given)

Tell us...how many other "configurations" can do what YOU can do? Never mind how intelligent the species, how many can build, manipulate, etc. like you can. How may Terrestrial species have the combination of intelligence and manipulation required to leave Earth?
We all know the answers to those questions, yet someone who is studying biology seems to think that some different configuration can work...I'd like to "see" it.
The realty of all space faring beings will be an oversized brain supported by a central chassis with agile locomotion and a limited number of manipulators...the most efficient form for this is humanoid. And we all know that is what nature will select for.

As far as I am aware this picture was the original "tall white" photo which was circulating on the internet some time ago. I am not aware if it was debunked or if a source image (i.e stock image of a model) was ever found.
Strangely enough this photo was easily found on the internet several years ago but now it seems it is hardly anywhere to be found in comparison. Instead most searches I done brought up op's picture.

If there really is a race of ET's that look similar to this, what would be the fastest and best way to make it all disappear? Put out some fake images and allow the ufo crowd to rubbish the entire idea of tall whites.. Now they can continue on with virtual impunity..
I'm not saying this happened here, but I do know that the US military uses a lot of different ways to discredit stories like these..
Also having fake evidence dumped into the public domain like this makes people not really care either way.. Double whammy for the military. er, triple whammy, because if any real images or evidence ever comes along, no one will believe it..

Perhaps you don't understand the difference between religious philosophy and science but draknoir, ZetaRediculian, Ectoplasm8 and I do. Since you bring up ignorance it is highly ignorant to push religious belief systems as anything other than what they are.
There's nothing wrong with following that or any other religious philosphy but recognize it for what it is and that is -not- science.
I've noticed this trait in a lot of your post tanka and I only say this as a friend but I think more rigorous examination of contrary information on your part is warranted.
You claim to be someone who writes code and is an analyst. I find it amazing that you don't seem to critically and fairly analyze information which contradicts your belief system.
tanka418
Perhaps it is you that doesn't quite understand.
Firstly, Hermeticism is definitely NOT religion. Not even close, though it is called "Philosophy".
Ectoplasm8
You can't just give a overall generic look for all intelligent beings that may be in the universe. It's far too convenient to make them look exactly as humans and land them here to unknowingly interact with us. That's ridiculous fantasy stuff void of any deep thought about the subject.
draknoir2
Really? Despite its namesake deity, Hermes Trismegistus, the supposed author of the Hermetic texts on which the "not religious philosophy" is based?
I'd say closer than not
A hermetic seal has the quality of being airtight. In common usage, the term often implies being impervious to air or gas. When used technically, it is stated in conjunction with a specific test method and conditions of usage.
en.wikipedia.org...
The word hermetic comes from the name of the Greek god Hermes, via the vocabulary of alchemy. The alchemists invented a process for making a glass tube airtight, which was used in distillation. The process used a secret seal whose invention was attributed to the legendary patron of alchemy, Hermes Trismegistos.
