Stoplight-
yes, isaw them both. I believe that you believe we've been visited. I am just equally convinced we haven't been, that's all.
Dark-
What I mean by being special, is that I think it's pretty presumptuous to think that of the trillions of planets that exist, that we were selected as one to visit. Our technology now can see millions of light years into the past. In fact, they say that the Hubble can now almost see the beginning of the universe. We still haven't run across anything that even mildly resembles intelligent life, let alone one so intelligent that it could traverse unfathomable distances. We have ruled out the possibility of intelligent life anywhere within our reach. The closest star to us is 10 light years away. You would have several generations of people from birth through death on the space ship taking us there. People who's entire life was spent on a space ship. It would take us hundreds of years. We have searched 1000 times farther away for any signs of intelligent life, and have found none. This tells me that if there is intelligent life out there, and I do believe there is, that it is probably on the other side of the universe, which makes the odds of them selecting us even crazier. I'll let this thread go after this. I don't want to come off as such a negative person, but you don't seem to realize the improbabillity of what has been suggested. You'd have a much better chance of beating a F16 jet with a snail in a 5 mile race.
Take care,
-Chris
