Intelligent Design
I’m sure life is out there. We need only look harder. Considering how vast the universe is, we’ve only breached a billionth of a percent of a billionth.
Religious wackos refuse to believe in Alien life because it goes directly against their vanity at being created in God’s image. I can’t take them serious because they subscribe to notions passed word-of-mouth for the better part of 10,000 years. When the story was finally written down, it was written wrong. Then right before it hit official print, a group of people – who thought that God’s universe revolved around THEM – decided to leave out any part of His word they deemed unimportant. The bible is the original Wikipedia with fewer citations. Whatever your religion is, your creation theory is stupid and illogical.
I believe that in God’s multi-verse there must be another species that’s made it out of the primordial soup and sought to reach the sky. So here’s another theory:
I believe in aliens. We were created by aliens and left here.
That is why we constantly look to the sky for our God. It’s genetic memory of something we had and lost, even if we don’t know what it was. We have a natural imperative to worship the sky. Maybe that’s why we spend every day on our knees begging to be let back into heaven, or Eden or whatever you want to call it.
Religion seems to be the universal search for a God, or gods. Those that abandoned us here, they probably left us here because we were fucking pests… We are a failed experiment. We got too damn smart, too damn fast. Like rats out of their cages – or the Flood from Halo – we developed the need and ability to consume but never developed the ability to control it. Greed is our most natural trait, and it consumes us as we consume everything else – over and over and over. Anonymous said ‘those who don’t study history are doomed to repeat it.” We know this and still manage to repeat it….
Maybe we’re a virus spread out of control. Maybe we’ve been put here in this purgatory to find enlightenment – this could be our Universal Time Out. Maybe we’re here until God figures out a humane way to deal with us. If we behave ourselves, if we get our shit together, maybe God will come back for us one day. If not, he’ll just leave us here abandoned in this dark wing of the galaxy like an experiment in some dark chasm in some archive somewhere. We’re so far from the next possibility of civilization that we’ll either bomb ourselves back into the bronze age or not make it off this blue rock before our star explodes.
Maybe this is God’s plan.

What if the alien is like the Christian God? What if it is still an all knowing being, or at least all knowing as far as we can grasp it? what if it is a creature that has such a higher threshold of intelligence, that we perceive it to being all knowing? Would it make any difference if it was an alien that lived with the same of it’s kind across the galaxy somewhere, or would it still be the same “god” figure that most religions idolize? Does the title make that much of a difference…I bet it would in this case…I bet if you proved to people that we were just an experiment put here by a higher life form that lived as we did just in a more advanced way and in a different solar system, they would call you a liar, even with the proof right in front of them…kind of like the people who say we never landed on the moon even though there’s video. I think it would be really interesting to see how people would react if they found out that your theory is true…it wouldn’t change anything, because it is simply stating how everything is…and yet it would change everything by people’s reactions to it….
I do agree that we need to do some exploring of the rest of the galaxy, I don’t know why we think that we are the end all and be all of everything, we really should consider what else is out there before it is too late and this planet or our sun is no longer any good to us. I’m willing to bet that we have the technology for that type of space travel, just sitting around waiting for someone to put it all together and make it work.

that idea doesn’t bother me at all. the concept of god and afterlife is irrelevant. it’s just another system of control. it’s just another obsession that we waste our lives on. From what I can tell, human existence is worse for the existence of god… nothing good has come of it. we still behave like animals.

We are controled by our obsessions and religion for many is obsession with habit and has nothing to do with actual faith as I have come to perceive it.
