Again, the problem with this continuing argument is that it nearly always boils down to people making unwarranted assumptions, the biggest one being that time is somehow linear and that things naturally progress from a "beginning" to the "present," and into the "future."
It's all the same thing, folks. Time is not like a river. Time is like a color or temperature. Things are constantly flowing around it in multiple dimensions, with things in the "future" influencing and directing things in the "past," just as much as vice-versa. Living systems, along with thoughts and concepts, evolve according to what are essentially backward reflections of what they will be as much as what they are or have been.
People get so wrapped up in their beliefs about how things started. Well, guess what? There most likely was/is no start or end. It was and will always just "be." Everything else is something we only made up in our heads.

Well, he was wrong. Extraterrestrials show up, and half of us will roll over and want them to be our leaders, half of us will want to fight them, and another half will want to save their poor heathen alien souls by selling them Bibles at a reasonable price. Oh, and drugs.
Humanity has never come to a complete agreement on anything, and aliens ain't gonna do it, either.

Is this is yet another thread about aliens having demonic origins?

Interesting perspective brah. Makes ya wonder why aliens wouldn't stay as far away from us as possible. We'd be a pretty bad influence on their lives/culture.

The point is that it's easy to make up words and argue about them even though you don't exactly know what they mean. Words like "time" and "God" and "life." It all boils down to semantic games, where nothing can or will be accomplished.
What's your "point?"

My point was that your argueing against people making up things, all the while doing it yourself. Go back and read the rest of my post to you, and you will understand.
