This is true. i have read much about other dimensions and how aliens are sort of a spiritual world traveling being. a.k.a "all knowing" Yet i still don't understand fully what their intentions on Earth are. Perhaps they are here to help man kind evolve through another stage of evolution, or to bring peace to all mankind indefinitely.
He suggests that aliens might simply raid Earth for its resources and then move on: "We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet. I imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet. Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonise whatever planets they can reach."
He concludes that trying to make contact with alien races is "a little too risky". He said: "If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn't turn out very well for the Native Americans."

This question has been asked Soooo many times .
How can you judge something that is not human by our standards of good or evil , is a Lion evil because it kills a Lioness's cubs that are not his ? , are Whales evil because they sometimes play tennis with seals they've caught ?
No of course not .
If you cant judge other species that are from our own planet by our moral codes how could we judge if an Alien species is morally good or evil .

The Human concept of good and evil are just that ...our concepts, they are defined by our belief systems and history .
We can judge them by our standards but that doesn't mean they they are either good or evil as they are not part of our culture , its just our definition of something which would probably be totally alien to them .
