also why they have been studying us for soo long. And maybe the reason why they havent made contact with us, is because they are scared of what our capablities are, and we have come from so far because of free will, and knowlege, that they are worried that we could overpower them, and with the human minds that we have, enslave them. That also could prove why they fly at high speeds, and are also cautious about everything that they do to us, and use constantly, the power to erase our memories..

Any less egotistical then believing that we are the loved children of some ultimate being?

well, i was originally going to post this in the religion forum because it kind of ties in but i'll post it here because it seems to make sense.
ok, have u ever played halo? because this ties in very heavily with that. basically, i believe we are second generation humans. that is, before our time, there was another time very far back in history that humans had very advanced technology, more advanced than we do now. like deep space travel. and something happened. most of the humnas were wiped out, along with their technology. but 1, maybe two starships got away, and fled deep into space. and later, when they came back, they found earth had regrown around the remains of their civilization, and humans had regressed into very primitive stages. so instead of landing and re-establishing a very advanced society, they decided to wait until later when the second-gen humans had become more advanced and stopped being so violent. and to try and influence our behavior, they sent down a missionary with, maybe two others. we called him Jesus. but his mission pretty much failed. seeing the futility of attempting to modify our behavior themseilves, they set up their starships in orbit around a planet (pick one, it doesn't really matter) and put the remaining crewmembers into suspended animation. their AI construct was set up to monitor earth and determine when they could be revealed to give humanity a technology boost and get us spread out to other planets.
so to tie all this in to this forum, the "aliens" are ships sent by the construct to monitor us. this is still egotistical, but slightly better than agent23212's original scenario.
of course, there are a zillion variations on this basic scenario i just laid out. like instead of a construct, a small skeloten crew is kept awake to monitor us and they keep their population stable
Really you should write sci-fi novels, this is better than Babylon 5.
we find fossils of dinosaurs hundreds of millions of years old, surely if there was any manmade structures dating before that we would of found them. So for your theory to hold up our ancenstors would of had to be from another planet.

You're theory was holding a bit more water than this threads theory until you said this.
There would still be sediment layers.
...space. and later, when they came back,...
Do I have a better idea of how your theory might have happened or worked? Maybe I'm missing the question.

ever heard of a gaia (or something like that) bomb? that erases any signs of humanity? just sci fi but an interesting idea... if you have a better idea preest i would love to hear it.
Thinking "out of the box" can be fun and it's healthy...but it can lead to serious obsessions and can very well cause instability. Or is that impossible?

I'd like to ask you, do you have an obsession with calling other people unstable, or ingraining in people's heads the beleif that thinking out of the box causes "instability"?
The more I read posts with your replies in it the more it becomes evident that you are here to ridicule others into thinking that ideas which transcend people's comfort zone, is loony, and it is evident that you are doing this for a reason which most can find out by themselves by just reading between the lines and using common sense.
Sorry for you but the truth is coming out man, and you can't deny it.
You are causing other's to stay within the bounds of their own beleif system, within their box. It is limiting. You may intimidate, you may ridicule, you may attract others with your "archetype" of a closeminded skeptic, but that will soon be over sir. People are realizing that there is a viel which must be torn down.
You can't deny this.

I'm not "here" for anything but to post ideas and opinions. I know some of you would like to believe I'm here to "disinform" people so they won't believe in our Reptilian President or Jesus and his Hybrid powers but I'm, unfortunately for you, not.
The "truth" is coming out and I can't deny it?
You insist on following me post to post, forum to forum dismissing my legit questions and opinions and it's funny because that's essentially what you're accusing me of.
Stick to the topic. I posted my opinion and asked NothingMakesSense a question...stop bitching like a little old woman. ATS is for those that "think outside of the box" and for those that believe "outside the box" should be a bit more realistic. Ever think the conspiracy is NOT being perpetrated by the debunkers and critical thinkers but the fringe "thinkers", quasi-religious & pseudo-scientists? Conspiracy to obfuscate goes both ways.
Before you follow me to the next post...I don't care what your opinion is on why I'm here or what you think I'm trying to accomplish...stick to the topic and stop flaming.
