That is very interesting...I don't know much about what Muslims and what they believe as you don't about Christians but that's fascinating the difference in beliefs about this subject, so, to Muslims in general...if extraterrestrials did land at Mecca, no one would be panicked or hysterical?
Just curious what you think on this subject.

Wow interesting so you all don't have the same stories of people getting abducted and being poked and prodded and DNA extractions etc while on an alien ship?
Do you think that's because it's not reported or do you think it's just a U.S. "fad"?
I figure if humans are being abducted, like you said, they aren't going to target certain countries they are going to scientifically sample every race, every country etc.

The paster at my wifes church belives in aliens and ufo's.The way he explains it is this.'Why would God reveal to us the existance of other life in the universe,when we cant get along with our own kind.Mabey once we get to the point where we can get along with each other then mabey it will become known."

Maybe because we as a species are not ready. Just look at how Aliens are portrayed on tv and in our movies. If a Saucer landed in your neighborhood how would your neighbors act? I bet alot would be grabbing weapons, screaming, and just plain flipping out.

Well...there are over 200 billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy, 100 million of which are like our Sun. That is a lot of stars to search for life. They may be out there, but just can't find us.

Just imagine, if a UFO dropped itself down onto the superbowl field and a few aliens popped out and started waving, it would shake the world

I agree with that statement. I mean, if we can't find them, then what makes anyone think that they would be capable of finding us?
Whenever most people think of advanced civilisations out in the universe, they assume that they are super intelligent and have the capability of destroying us at will. This may not be the case at all, we could be far more intelligent, or have better technology for searching space. They could even have no interest whatsoever of looking for other life.
Considering the universe is Billions of years old, civilisations will have come and gone throughout the universe, extraterrestrial life will be constantly changing. They may have come long before we were here, they may come long after.. who know's we might be 'them' from when they colonised the Sol star system thousands of years ago.
