For most of you puzzled by the UFO phenomena and limited in your thinking of what it means or does not mean, it is probably the best solution to consider the ufolk god-like and duty-bound to free us from our worst human attributes. --Or perhaps more correctly phrased merely as, our "human attributes."
That is about the gentlest way to view the situation without getting into the personal horror most of you would feel if you really understood what it is all about. The best thing I can do for you is to suggest that you read Arthur C. Clarke's old novel "Childhood's End." It is a beautiful story about human destiny far beyond anything most of you can or will ever imagine.

1. I doubt they are intelligent at all.
2. The very fact they are here proves it as far as I am concerned.
3. The human race is a stupid, greedy, and arrogant breed.
Unless of course, they are here to learn that trait, then we are back to point 1 above.

The major failure in this line of rationale is that you are imposing human attributes/motivations to something that is inherently "non-human".

You also imply that some higher morality (which is another human construct) guides ET.

It is the prime reason there is so much conflict when religions attempt to describe thier gods to each other.

It could be the ET came here and found that they could create a new power source from bananas for all we know. The best way I could equate itr to you in pop cultrue terms is the opening scenes of "Mars Attacks!". Be very careful what we assume about the nature and or motivations of non-human entities.

Hello djvexd,
Thanks for responding. ET existence hasn't even been proved yet. In this theory my colleague has stated that ET has played a large role here. My angle is the science. Especially the geological record for the data concerning cosmic wave bombardment and it's possible roll in ending the last Ice Age. That may have been the smoking gun for the ancient great flood stories that are prevalent in written histories. we are on the ground floor here or at least I am and the data should prove interesting now that there is a backdrop to work with.
