Not saying we did, we could have done this on our own, making large leaps with larger populations, but it never hurts to keep an open mind

That's not true. Science was stifled by religion for one and also just because something doesn't seem that much of a big deal doesn't mean it wasn't back then in the past. Also scientific knowledge is cumulative process, as more is known more becomes discovered, so that would account for "the larger jumps in a shorter time". Who's to say or prove there's been some major assistance along the way? Don't underestimate the human race as all available evidence shows (Ancient Aliens can be discounted as hogwash) we have done very nicely all on our own.

Cattle mutilations ? Ive always thought maybe the breathe Methane ? Imagine a living animal that pumped out breatheable air ... Im sure if we went to a distant planet and found that we would abduct a few and experiment on them

There is no evidence to support the idea of "outside" help.

All of todays advanced technology has a long and very Terrestrial history.

Why in the world would you still think aliens have anything to do with cattle mutilations? The truth came out on that last year. It was the US government doing it. Why? To test for residues from the nuclear testing. They were measuring the concentration of fallout. Radioactive isotopes accumulate in the lips and anus. Those were removed from random cows and the levels measured.

Why do people forget that we had our nuclear war? 450 atomic explosions above ground in the US alone. We blew up the desert instead of the cities, but the effects on the environment is the same. I suppose you think smoking causes lung cancer? Or the sun causes skin cancer? No, dear fool, those are caused by the fallout.

We were ALL irradiated by our government. And they lie and cover up the cause of all the cancers. If they did not and were honest, they could be held to account. Who wants to be the guy responsible for killing tens of millions of his fellow people? No one. That man exists, and he will stand before God for his choices. But mankind will never know his name or hold him to account.

hmmmph, and there I thought I left it so wide-open that nobody could possibly disagree with it

They are here you just don't understand how this whole thingy works and I don't care to explain it

OH noes! That explaination settles it! Aliens are here what should we all do?!?

reply to post by observe50


Yeah, we're here. I don't see how that would affect a discussion on Terrestrial technology, it's advancement, possibilities, and possible effects on Terrestrial society.
