Evidence for Aliens

Now that monotheism is getting its deserved  good beating, aliens are becoming hip. Will they be the new religion of the humans that thrive on believing things they don't understand. Quite likely. We just need NASA to stage a few events and the masses will be sold. And they will give us 'bad aliens' so we will be willing slaves to the American Empire. But let us not get bogged down with paranoia.

Let's first look at the belief epidemic or our history. Since we have been sitting around fires, we have been telling stories about our adventures. Anyone who knows about story telling will know that a story retold more than once is often exponentially inflated with details that simply go beyond the real. We are creative and love to create grand stories about the things we do. Add to that our easy amazement at any kind of thing we do and it doesn't take long before belief in grand fantasy becomes the norm. The stars, look at them all. They must mean something. We die. That must mean something.

There was a god for everything at the start of our believing. And this wasn't such a terrible situation. We didn't know so we speculated a personification for everything that happened to us. It is however, a madness juxtaposed to knowing ones environment so as to have a better chance to survive in it.

But not half as mad as the notion that now there is but one god and he is a real asshole, especially to people that are not from your tribe.

"But God ain't an asshole."

"Of course not, for he is not."

What evidence do we have for these many variations, all proclaiming to be the absolute truth. Absolutely nothing. There is a story in a book. A story repeated in a few books. And no one reads the book they have been given to believe to see that their god is an asshole tyrant murdering prick. A personification of totalitarian dictator states. The justification for the holiness of the elite. The snakes of hell have made themselves a grand illusion for the slave fools that go along with the insanity rather than be tortured and watch their children be raped by drunken soldiers.

One could say that on the far side of the moon is the one true god's castle. It is guarded by ducks. None of his slaves, okay, let's say servants, need air and are immune to radiation and extreme temperatures. Are there anything besides all these ducks, well of course, there are bunnies and flying fish and dancing dinosaurs and eternal twelve year old children for god to rape 666 times each moon day. I know that this is true, an angel of god told me exactly what to write, fuck, and if you don't believe me you will be stoned to death. And brought back to life and torture. Then burnt to death and brought back to life and tortured.

"That's not true."

"Yes it is. It has been written and that proves it."

But what of the fucking aliens. Now that is a little more difficult because we know for certain, from just a little probability calculations, that there are alien life forms out there beyond our little piece of poisoned paradise. Microscopic life forms for certain. There are billions of billions of planets and some of them will have some life. That life will have the same building blocks as this planet for the elements of the universe basically follow the laws of physics.

Have they been here. Not bloody likely. For had they been here, they likely would still be here and there would be some evidence of them. And there is no evidence that any intelligent life forms have visited this planet.

There is an ever growing space between galaxies, with the exception of Andromeda, or course. Most life forms will simply be far too far away to matter if they are there or not. If there was a space age life form in the Milky Way, it would not be a secret, it would be a galactic event of a grand magnitude that would leave very easy to view in radio spectrum evidence. It will not be a secret when the galaxy is settled by intelligent life forms.

Films made by bored farmers about abduction is not evidence. Panic mad illiterates that promise on the Bible that they have talked to them, ancient buildings that seem too perfect, old text that suggests they raped our children, crop circles that seem too pretty and there are so many other things that all add up to naught.

"But I don't know how it was done, so it must have been aliens." is the same as: "But I don't know how it was done, so it must have been God."

This might be a little step in our thinking. We have gone from the impossible to the highly improbable. However, we could spend just a little more time on the probable and the obvious and leave this bloody nonsense for when we have worked out how to get on with one another without murdering women and children for no real good reason at all. We could find a way to put an end to tyranny of the elite.

We should be working on the end of war and the beginning of a space elevator so that we can go look for alien life forms. And when we don't find any beyond tiny fish like creatures in a cesspool of slime on an otherwise barren planet, don't fucking forget I told you so.

And create your own life.
