Where do I begin? People are always going to give magical connotations to things they don't understand. This is because we as a race are way more simple minded and uneducated than many want to believe. The fact is that most humans just aren't ready to cast away their religious superstitions; Others just don't have the basic grasp of interstellar workings. It isn't even their fault really. We'll all born into a world that nearly demands we submit to one God or another. Awakening to the idea of a non-magical world can be a lonely painful journey for some. One(of too goddamn many) of the problems with every religion, is that they boast to know the secrets of the universe with little to no proof. Intellectually, this leaves the religious worshiper nowhere to go but down. Can't fill a cup that's already full.

P.S. I'm "this" close to starting a post titled "For the sake of humanity, stop this religious nonsense!" But that thread would do as much good as religion has done for humanity. If anyone here really believes in Aliens, ask yourself if you think THEY learned interstellar travel through superstitious love praying, or the scientific method and critical thinking. If you freaking say both, than you're a huge part of humanity's problem.

Super high spiritual stuff? What kind of backwards labeling is that? Technology can be observed, explained, and repeated. Spirituality is just a bunch of people crossing their fingers and clasping their palms for things to happen. When they don't it's because it wasn't in God's plan. When they do it's because God answered their prayer. Thus everyones bubble remains nice and intact. No ones feelings get hurt. We can all sleep soundly knowing that our superman in the sky is alway on top of things. It's too scary to think that we might be in control of our own destinies. That maybe we could become our own supermen. No, that's just being vain. Vanity's a sin. God said so. In his book he told some guys to write.

If aliens come down and they are better than man (socially,spiritually,physically) and the bible says "God created man in his own image" will many think that the alien is either God or better than God, is this the real reason for all the hate against Aliens? the facts they may be better than us?. Just a abstract thought..

I wonder if that is actual film footage of the natives on that island.
Or was this a re-enactment ? It doesn't even give a name for the people
or the island.

One of the most dramatic examples of modern day cargo cultism occurred when WWII pilots landed on a remote Pacific Ocean Island and impressed the natives with their god-like appearances. When the pilots left, the native built straw air-plane fetishes

Good theory but, i think the amount of humans who think that aliens are demons is really very small.
