Is it possible that we have been visited by Aliens?

Let me preface this by saying I love watching Ancient Aliens on H2. I think it's pretty cool that many tribes that are still in existence today have ceremonies celebrating what appear to be spacemen or ancient aliens. Many of these tribes have extensive knowledge of astronomy as did the Mayans.

Even the Old Testament contains references to potential "abduction" with Elijah and Enoch being taken up to Heaven on "chariots."

Greek mythology had "Gods" on Mt. Olympus.

Genesis 1:26 - Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image...

Interesting that God said "Our" image.

I'm questioning what our current religious establishment would have us believe. I guess I'm just not sold anymore.

God the Son (Jesus), God the Holy Spirit and God the Father have always existed. Jesus didn't begin existing when he was born.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning." John 1:1-2
"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."-John 1:14
"Us" from my understanding is God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.


With regard to aliens visiting our planet. Yes and they stayed and reproduced. SW Georgia is where they landed.

Its a wide, wide, wide, wide, wide, wide universe out there! If you were to be able to go to the outer fringes of our Milky Way galaxy and look back towards Earth, you wouldn't be able to see us its such a big universe. Do you think the diverse life on this planet is all that there is in the universe? Most scientist, those who study the question for a living, looking for and listening for alien life certainly believe we are not alone.

I have seen UFO's, or weather balloons if you prefer, on a couple occasions, and I know of many others who have too. As to why would they visit? Why would a god visit? Why would Jesus visit? Why do we ask and why do we care? Why anything? I can think of a lot more reasons to leave than visit! ;)

The sun does not rise nor does it set. The Earth spins and revolves around the Sun. Heaven is not up there it is out there and hell is not down there it is in there. And if you like Ancient Aliens then you are better off than watching Duck Dynasty or Walking dead! I know I had rather see those ancient artifacts and places than go duck hunting or see a dead corpse chasing me in slow motion wanting to eat me lol!!! :)

We are constantly developing and improving our technology so that we can visit other planets. If we are not so arrogant as to believe we are the only intelligent beings in this universe and beyond, would it not stand to reason then that those other beings would do the same?

When the Bible speaks about being made in Our image, it is referring to God, Son, Holy Ghost.
Where does the Bible say that God, Son, and Holy Ghost reside? Out there or in here or both? We call people who are not natural born citizens of this country aliens. Was God, the Son and Holy Spirit born of this planet? Well maybe the Son could claim so, and since they all three are one, then I suppose they all are born of this planet. In that case that makes us Gods too!

The only logical conclusion you will find on here is the one you make for yourself. Because if anyone on here actually knows for sure they can't prove it. No matter which side you stand on in this subject, the other side is crazy and blind! ;)

Why would they visit? Why would they leave?
They're not here, they're not coming,
Not in a million years,
Turn your weary eyes back homeward,
Stop your trembling, dry your tears,
You may see the heavens flashing,
You may hear the cosmos humming,
But I promise you, my brother,
They're not here, they're not coming.

Would they pile into the saucer,
Find Orlando's rat and hug it?
Go screaming through the universe,
Just to get McNuggets?
Well, I don't think so, I don't think so.
It's much too dangerous, it's much too strange,
Here in a world that won't give Oprah no home on the range.

I would say no - and for several reasons.

First, most of the "evidence" touted - especially on the show you mentioned - has to do with ancient, "primitive" man apparently having access to knowledge and/or technology that they supposedly could not have obtained on their own.

Second, the rest of the "evidence" is extremely anecdotal and circumstantial at best. We have drawings and depictions of thing that "kinda, sorta" or "could possibly" resemble aliens, flying saucers, etc.


As for the first set of "evidence", I attribute that primarily to mankind's arrogance - of which we have in massive overabundance if we have any at all. We have a major habit of both over-esteeming our own understanding and accomplishments while virtually dismissing that of previous civilizations or even previous generations. The ancient Romans made stronger, longer-lasting concrete than we make today. Many of the roads and bridges they built are still being driven on today. Much of their aqueduct system could still be used for plumbing and irrigation purposes with just a modicum of maintenance. The ancient Greeks had a "programmable" device that can only be described as a primitive computer that could be used to calculate both latitude and longitude at sea - something "modern" man wasn't able to accomplish until the late 19th Century.

To further exemplify the inconsequential nature of that "evidence", you can juxtapose that hypothesis with the second set of "evidence" given. If extra-terrestrials did, in fact, come to Earth and share advanced knowledge and technology with ancient civilizations then the recorded evidence would not be anecdotal and circumstantial; the evidence would be obvious. We wouldn't have small, random smatterings of things that "kinda, sorta" look like aliens and "could possibly" represent flying saucers; we would have detailed depictions and accounts of these encounters - perhaps even names for the aliens and examples of their language - and of the knowledge and technology being passed on by them.

The most obvious, if not most common, retort to this argument would be to ask "What if the aliens didn't want to just come out and reveal themselves to ancient man, and ancient man only caught glimpses of their presence?"

To this, I would proffer that any intelligent being capable of travelling billions of light-years across the galaxy in order to study a primitive planet would - assuming they didn't want to reveal themselves to the indigenous population - be perfectly capable of actually not revealing themselves to the indigenous population. They wouldn't be "accidentally" letting us catch glimpses of them and they certainly wouldn't be crash landing in the middle of the desert in Southeastern New Mexico.


If they had been here, interacting with mankind, then we would know it. We wouldn't suspect it; we would know it.

If they have been here but didn't want us to know about it then we wouldn't have a clue.

No one has ever refuted the USAF contact at RAF Bentwater.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendlesham_Forest_incident

No one ever solved the lights over Phoenix or during WWII, the UFO over Los Angeles or even the UFOs over Washington DC in 1952 when fighters were scrambled.

Jimmy Carter was a huge UFO buff as well and his requests for information were turned down by the CIA. Bush (the CIA director) told him, "no...that he wasn’t going to give this to him...that this was information that existed on a need to know basis only. Simple curiosity on the part of the President wasn’t adequate."

As noted philosopher Calvin (the boy in Calvin & Hobbes, not the protestant reformation one) once noted, "Seems to me that the surest sign of intelligent life in the universe is that none of it has cared to contact us." ;)

not that the president wasn't adequate, it was Jimmy Carter wasn't adequate.
