Why kill the humans?

Human are normally good. For an ET coming to earth, if their technology are more advance then ours they will see the use of Planet earth we are doing. Polution, war, Nuclear test, Diseases.. We are useless to them because we don't have anything good to learn from. Also we are polluting one of how many planets that life is possible on. It's why they can kill us.!

let's look at it this way... why do humans kill animals/insects/each other?

all of them are basically for wealth (food, fur, ivory, land, money) and to use as experiments.

do aliens eat us? perhaps not.
do aliens need land? if they did, they would have annilated us a long time ago.
do aliens need money/resources humans have? same as above.
do aliens want to do experiemnts on human beings? YES

well i read it some where that aliens survive on human/ animals blood and tissues..
google it and you will find it

That's rediculous. That's like saying that you have to survive on Alien fingernails from the planet Ketchupnia or you will die. Even though you have never eaten an alien fingernail, and there was no way for your body to have evovled into being required to eat alien fingernails, because there were never any alien fingernails to begin with on this planet!

Come on, think about it.

huh

i never said i know that this is the case, i just said i read that..

n who knows feeding on aliens might make humans more sharp or strong or something !!

We dont have much compassion for animals (ie other species) on our own planet, let alone any other. Why should the aliens be any different?

Because they aren't human and we are.

They can't eat us.

They wouldn't want our land.

They have currency, but our planet doesn't have any importance in terms of resources.

They wouldn't want to experiment with us. Well in terms of experimenting like a lab experiment they wouldn't. The stories you hear involving abductions are mostly self-altered or made-up. But experimenting with us like god experimented with us is most correct.

They do have religion and that's primarily why they are here.

It is some sort of wacky Alien Sikh-Buddh-Bahai'-shamanism.

I think it would not be so intelligent of the aliens to just destroy us because they feel like it.

the least they could do is teach us how not to destroy ourselves.

We don't learn from even our own mistakes. We're too short sighted.

What you're suggesting, could only mean enslavement.

would you rather be a slave for aliens or would you rather be killed by aliens? makes you think doesnt it...

On a lighter note. I think they'll just pass this primitive backwater planet by in search for more interesting things lol.

A truly advanced race would have at its pinnacle, beings intimately familar with true justice and not the kind we see around these parts. To have true justice, however, requires omnipotence, love, compassion, and no guile. We currently work on the premise that life is only a matter of evolutionary leaps of logic and survival of the fittest scenarios. But what if the real jump is to find, finally, within yourself, the capacity for loving others, even in the face of annihilation? I know the concept is hard to imagine, but without real justice, the idea of any form of evolution, no matter how microcosmic or macrocosmic, becomes useless.

Let's say you evolved and gained a machine-human interfaced, an eternal body. But, since true justice, love, compassion and so on, is only as deep as the next survival of the fittest scenario, eternal life became nothing but a meaningless series of wins and losses and repair jobs. That to me, would be an eternity void of reason and basically, so intrinsically boring, that most people would ask to be shutdown after a few thousand years just so they didn't have to see the same things and do the same things ever again.

my question is why kill the humans? clearly they are an intelligent species. they have learned how to survive in their environment. they have learned how to adapt to weather. they have even learned how to create the atom bomb.

That's your point of view. If aliens are visting Sol 3, we don't know them, we don't know their culture or their history, it's impossible to know what they think.

Because we're a disease ridden, obnoxious, greedy, self indulgent, parasitic, resource wasting, arrogant and violent mob of creatures.

We cant even live amongst ourselves without violent conflict, let alone with a possible race of beings with a lot more 'gimme gimme' technology.

Nothing is black and white. There's also lots of people that don't want to harm others, don't want to destroy the planet and want technology to progress from our oil dependant state.

It really depends on how the aliens themselves are. What if they developed a kind of "space-nazi" ideology?

Haha never thought of alien "nazi"s before

Surely, if you believe in evolution, the aliens made the same things we did long before they became advanced. Interestingly enough - wouldn't this make evolution ironic? Nature creating it's own demise?

evolution is not a belief

nature does not create anything, life is a consequence, and doesn't have a purpose apart from the one we chose

And you don't think they were once like us? Waging war amongs themselves and destroying their environment?

Why should that be necessary? There has to be one alien civilisation that used oil or somthing similar and foresaw it's effects, that would mean they actually have a brain unlike us

Look at us, if we don’t change soon, we are either going to kill ourselves in a nuclear war, or destroy the environment.

I don't see any foreseable nuclear war, and altough global warming is a terrible thing I can't see how it will destroy homo sapiens.

But it does have a purpose: reproduction.

It has nothing to do with oil. As far as we can tell, everything living needs a food source. They too must eat, drink, eventually build cities and planes, ships, cars. Maybe they had other politics so they could quickly change to sun-power and wind-power? Maybe they have another energy source?

The point is, these aliens didn't just pop into existance with all the saucers already standing there. Now, there could be many aliens out there, some maybe never used food or water, but evolved to live on heat, or on something else.

Humans are "safe" for maybe another 100-200 years if we continue to spit out lethal gases and waste into the environment. But what can we drink when the ocean is polluted and dead? What can we eat when animals are full of dangerous poison?

The danger is not just global warming, it's waste that big corporations throw out in nature and in the ocean because it is cheaper than to recycle. The effects may not become a big deal to you and me, but our children and their children.

But it does have a purpose: reproduction.

reproduction isn't a purpose, it's a necessity. By purpose I meant things like "to become enlightened", "to reach a higher level of conscioussness bla bla"

It has everything to do with oil. Oil use is behind many international tensions and conflicts, and one of the main factors of global warming along with the other fossil fuels and industry. We will either change to a cleaner type of energy or face a cataclysm that will hamper out development to a type I civilisation.

Civilisations on planets similar to Earth may well have oil too.
