Im not saying that my claim that it is impossible for aliens to be hostile is certain by any means but do you think it a possibility that all you are referring to - atoms, colors etc.. are inherent to our experience here as earth dwellers? and that beings who have reached a level of consciousness/evolution where they can adaptly traverse universes or dimensions for that matter may be operating under a system we could scarcely conceive?

Could be - I have an open mind about it. My thing is, all we have to go off of is the human condition - we know nothing of any alien culture or psychology so to guesstimate what their intentions are is to be just... well 'guessing'.
You bring up their level of consciousness/evolution - but we do not know the factors of their conditioning. Why wouldn't it be possible for a highly technological race to evolve with a psychologically evil intent (in our opinions of them). To themselves, they may think they are the most peaceful beings in the universe - but to our views, they would be seen as evil and manipulative - its all boils down to the psychology of what we and 'they' believe. Just because something is intelligent in no way or means makes it benevolent. While serial killers and rapists are in humanities eyes 'evil' and 'sick' - many are seemingly very intelligent with high IQ's... but again I site the human condition - the alien condition may be way beyond any psychological grasp that we may have to comprehend... and that would mean we would be too dumb to understand if they are evil or good...

I guess my whole case rests on my belief in the law of karma... what you put out comes back and according to my understanding, a being would not be allowed to traverse the univers much less interact with another much less evolved race. Just my opinion and merely guessing

I really hope you're right Kronos11. Cause I'm so tired of seeing all the killings, murders, rapes, lies, etc...
Karma is what I try to live my life by too. Just be good to others and try your best to be civil. When it comes down to protecting yourself and the ones you love, then I believe you do it no matter what happens. And if the one that tried to hurt or kill you and your loved ones die in the process, then so be it. I really hope these so called E.T's feel the same way and do have laws to go by. Which brings up another question. Would they destroy us to protect themselves and the galactic highways?

Originally posted by kroms33 but I do know there always has to be a positive and a negative for universal structure - Chaos theory and all
Without Chaos and Order - there is no balance... even Hindu beliefs in Karma go to the lengths of Chaos theory in justifying "Shiva".
