Would really like to know what other potheads think about this:

well at least im not the only 1
not clones but genetically created by aliens.
this have anything to do with scientology?
i do believe that God created us...but in the bible
it say,s something about God comeing back on a cloud with a silver lineing...well read the book of ezekeal...it will trip ya out...and where did people that live in cave,s get the idea 2 draw being,s that have big round head,s with antena,s..give 1 something ta think about...

Sometimes i also think that jesus was an alien reporter sent to cover what was going on and go to emotionally imvolved in his work so the the alien company he worked for fired him and never gave him a ride home. Thenn the church was like wtf.
Sorry......i hopesome of that makes sence if you can under stand my morbid spelling:p
Yah i agree that we are near clones of some aliens with less 'mind powers'. I have thought for a while now that ancient gods were actually aliens and that we were sort of created by them "in their image". When you think about it, most depictions of Gods are in human form besides the hindu gods and such. I believe these alien Gods realized the error of their ways and how they had sparked wars upon people over their teachings. I also believe that the god of the old testament of the bible was different from the god of the new testament that jesus spoke of. I also think that Jesus was the son of one of those alien Gods. Just my opinion.Quote:

Otherwise there is just no reason to believe such nonsense.
i read somewhere of theory about jesus being created by aliens. so therefore his tricks like walking on water and turning water into wine seem plausible to me due to alien technology.
Well duh. We make our gods look like humans because we are humans. If elephants had religions I bet their gods would look like elephants.Quote:

you're talking about second possibly third hand information from scientists. why believe them right away and immediately discard the alien theory by labeling it nonsense? you dont know unless you conduct research, tests and experiments yourself.Quote:

No. Unlike most people, I actually read what the scientists write. I look at and review their evidence. I've looked at this whole evolution thing. I've read what the evolutionary biologists have to say, what their findings are, and the idea that we evolved from apes is one of the soundest scientific theories we have.Quote:

back in those days i doubt they had magicians. i think magic did really exist. i mean whatever happened to alchemy.Quote:

It was a movement to try to turn certain substances into gold, which it never did. It did give rise to the field of chemistry as people realized their errors, but it failed to do anything verifiably magical.Quote:

it was the combination of science and magic. so real magic had to exist and im not talkin about tricks and illusions. in the so called jesus days, i still say there were no magicians(tricks and illusions). just a buncha carpenters.Quote:

But how could anyone possibly prove the alien origin hypothesis wrong? For any possible objection to the idea, you could just say "the aliens made it that way". Why do humans have vestigial organs? The aliens made it that way. Why aren't the aliens still in contact with us? They're hiding. Why isn't there any evidence for any of this? The aliens did an excellent job covering it all up and leaving no trace of themselves. And so forth...
The universe is a big place. In fact, so large that at it's theorized creation -- the Big Bang -- it expanded from the size of a marble to a space some billion times larger than visible space in a matter of a trillionth of a trillionth second.Quote:

It may not be that we're alone, but that whatever visitors have came here would have generally been dissuaded by what and who we are. Personally, if I were an alien fresh from another planet, Earth would be the last fucking place I'd go.
Or maybe they've already been here, or are still dipping in and out occasionally. It'd be rather arduous to monitor every inch of the sky from Earth. In fact, it'd probably be damn near impossible.
It's been said that the absence of evidence doesn't necessarily denote the evidence of absence. Think about it.
What do you mean, "magic had to exist"? Why did it have to exist? What evidence is there that it existed? You can't just believe in something because it sounds cool. You actually have to back it up with evidence. I don't know why so many people have a hard time with that concept.Quote:

Omfg How fucked are you guys?
Evolution..read up on it some time.
We came from apes...And if there are aliens Where The Fuck Are They? I havent seen any apart from stupid hoax's and i don't trust a redneck's personal experience....
Saying that i do belive there are "aliens" but i don't think they have the technology to travel to earth...If aliens did create us why? Are we pets to them? Seems like a big load of bull to me.
Imagine that you are a prehistoric man living in a primitive tribe. You don't understand the real scientific explanations for lightning, earthquakes, diseases, the planets and stars, human consciousness, the origin of life, or anything like that. Because you don't want to live without explanations for all these daily occurrences, you conclude that there are invisible spirits behind all these things and you call them gods. Where must they live? Well, not here on earth obviously. Nobody has ever seen one. So you can only conclude that they live in the sky. Maybe you say that the big yellow ball of light that gives us heat is God. Or maybe you say that God actually lives behind the celestial sphere that seems to turn around the earth every day. Either way, it has to be up there and not down here since nobody has actually seen gods on earth.Quote:

so how do you explain the ancient drawings of aliens? i doubt a caveman is gonna come up with that after seeing some lightning or an earthquake.
why dont you keep an open mind and not swallow everything fed to you. before you say the same about me, i have done numerous research and come up with my own conclusion.Quote:

Very true. All mammals are ultimately descended from reptiles.Quote:

What ancient drawings? I'd like to see one that you think can't be explained except through aliens. And how do you know that these drawings resemble aliens? Have you seen a picture of an alien to compare with them?Quote:

well prehistoric humans did not look like that or archaeologists woulda said something bout that. everytime in these ancient drawings, they would draw a being and always imply that "it" came from the sky. i dont understand why its so hard for you to phathom the possible alternate idea of our origin.Quote:

Well, we can't just take dead people by their word. Dead people, much like living people, said lots of crazy things. Also, remember that hallucinogenic drugs have been available throughout all of human history. I have a hard time believing that people would not associate their hallucinations on these drugs with religious beings. Same goes for dreams. Ancient people didn't know that dreaming was all in your head. They probably thought it was a strange parallel universe where the gods and spirits live. Why else would you be able to communicate with dead people in your dreams?Quote:
