Thank you for your offering.
Some reflections from a Buddhist/Taoist influenced place:
It appears that that which was before the first thing in the causal chain, and that which was beyond the last thing in the causal chain is the same as that which enables the causal chain itself.
It does not appear that any thing or entity or soul can exist unto itse ...[text shortened]... d waking?
Progress and regress occur. Where does past and future dwell?
Namaste.

i know. i dont understand why you think that if aliens existed they would have visited us by now. it seems illogical to me.

...because if aliens existed, they would have visited us by now.
Are you trying to say that mankind will eventually die out, reincarnate and be some form of alien, where after the aliens will die out again and humans will form....all over again. THAT seems illogical.
Or are you trying to say there is only one state after another until none is left?

Originally posted by NOTGATEI can think of several reasons that advanced civilizations would have not to contact civilizations in other solar systems and galaxies. Contrary to what you say, these reasons would make contacting us illogical.

Originally posted by NOTGATEThanks for that link. Too much observational evidence mounting up especially with more with camera phones to hand these days.

The UFO knockers always focus on how are the distances crossed, and why they don't reveal fully, etc. These are legitimate questions but that does not allow them to constantly ignore the observational evidence that there is now of singular and multiple "unidentified flying objects", still without sufficient explanation.
Yeah, I know, they are all 'hoaxes'. Or a mistaken identity is made of a weather ballon or something and that dismisses the lot. That's as bad as skewed fundamentalist 'logic'.
Despite the legitimate questions, why isn't there acknowledgement of the basic validity of these strange sightings, minus any interpretation? They ARE occurring.
What is the fear?
Our earth-based knowledge is not finalized at all.
