Off Topic And Now for Something Completely Different

Okay. You're unbelievably naive if you think that I would share years of research and documents on a football forum to a group of people I've never met. That'd be really counter productive to what I'm trying to achieve.

 

What are you trying to achieve?
Honest & genuine question

 

Aaah so you're going to be the one to finally grove these phenomena exist. What a proud moment that'll be for the Not606 fraternity.

 

Love em, Stan, Ta!

 

The vast distances that exist between potential liveable, habitable solar systems make it impossible for Aliens to reach us.

 

I don't know, it's worked on you.

Of course it's important to keep an open mind but not to the extent where it's a free for all, letting all sorts of bollocks waltz in getting dog **** on your favourite neurons and scratching your CDs. I could tell you that there are orange polar bears in the Antarctic but you wouldn't believe me, rightfully the burden of proof would lie at my feet as I'm the one making the claim. I'd have to provide tangible evidence, asking you to provide proof that they don't exist is impossible.

Throughout history, humankind has created answers to questions that are not fully understood. Witches, ghosts, demons, the afterlife, gods, aliens, giants, mermaids, dragons, etc are all borne by man's own imagination, desperate to reconcile the inexplicable or from the hope that there must be 'something more'. There isn't. Now is the 'miracle'. The odds of all of your ancestors surviving and the odds of all of my ancestors surviving so that we can converse today are mind bogglingly astronomical.

I'm not saying that there is no extraterrestrial life, far from it. It may even exist in our own solar system and we're making steps to find out if that's the case using unmanned probes. On the ground or flying through plumes from deep, hidden oceans. We're close to analysing the atmospheres of exoplanets.

I'm not even saying that aliens haven't visited the Earth, but the odds of them visiting in the last couple of thousand years out of the four and a half billion years gone are stupidly long. I'm also open minded enough to know that intelligent life from another system is likely going to be wildly different from ours, so the odds of it looking like a guy in a green 'this is what I imagine an alien looks like because of films from the 50s' suit having a piss behind a road sign make it a bet not worth considering.

PS.
It wasn't even a guy in a suit, it was digital matrixing and a healthy human dose of pareidolia.

 

If it is to look like a fruitcake he is being successful.

 

Well, technically you wouldn't know. And to be fair I don't think it will be that long before it's disclosed anyway.

 

A mixture of things. But mainly to understand why the phenomena exists in the first place, to understand how it works and the science behind it. If it turns out there's nothing I'd be equally as happy as if there was something.

Oh here he is. I wondered when you'd pop up.

 

I say, chaps, any thought of ****ing off this thread and starting an 'Arguments' thread?

This stuff is getting a bit tedious...

 

Erm, this thread is specifically for anything non-football or City related. It was specifically created for precisely stuff like this.

The clue is in the title.

 

I agree with Stan.

Ship all this to the conspiracy thread. They'll love that

 

Arguing on this forum is hardly 'something different'.

 

Hmm. You seemed to have ignored most of what I said. That's a shame. Ah well.

 

I'm struggling to see where there is an argument.

 

Could re name it the David Ike thread.
Aliens on earth

 

You're wrong.

 

How do you know there are not aliens on earth ?

 

The burden of responsibility is not on proving that they're not there.
