that's great awediot

I'm not sure what to think about aliens...

But my stepmother believes they are the fallen angels (who were kicked out of Heaven along with Satan). Not sure what her beliefs are based on.

I like space/alien movies. Hey, do you think the dinosaurs are extinct or maybe they were rescued by aliens? I like to think they are alive and well somewhere in the universe. I love Jurassic Park (movie) especially the scene where the scientists see the dinosaurs in person for the first time - the amazed looks on their faces are priceless!

Hey Awe,

I don't get it.

Are you asking if we believe in extra-terrestrial life?


And Tdogg - Jurassic Park rules. I just gave hubby a gigantic plush T rex for our anniversary, so he said we hafta pull out the Jurassic Park DVD and watch it - hopefully tonite!!!!

Yo Zerb,

(still gonna pm ya soon, been away)

And yeah- believe, think they're visiting, UFOs driven by angel dinosaurs, ARE WE ALONE? and all...

[Zerbie]

Oh okay Awe, that's a tough one fer me since I don't give the topic much time for thought - too busy with the stuff I DO perceive to wonder about the stuff I DON'T. Yet.

Probably most UFO reports are not aliens but have mundane explanations (like all the New Mexico reports, they are awfully close to a military test range, which I think explains what people are observing that they aren't familiar with). But I am of course, open to finding out what else is out there in the universe.

The universe being as vast, infinite, no? - as it is, it is more logical to believe there are other planets full of life than it is to believe there are NOT. Like, really guys, ONLY Earth has life? But it hasn't been a passionate interest of mine to speculate on and I have no opinions one way or another.

I will only admit that I don't know, and that just because I haven't seen something doesn't mean it isn't there. My eyes could be closed, after all.

Oh hey - a message is comin'? Yay! Am I the only dork who lights all up when they get those messages? It's like, Yay - mail! I wonder what's inside!

But fwiw, I forget what we were talking about.

If there are "alien" species, they could easily still be single-celled organisms. or algae. or whatever the extraterrestial version of a mouse might be.

very good point Lydia.... I think for a lot of people it's just a fun idea
