Sign me up in that list as well, the crazy part. First, there is a great possibility that there are other planets with life, since the same laws of physics and chemistry apply everywhere else in the universe. The biology may be a lot different, since factors such as element abundance, gravity, sun light, climate, energy sources and so forth will surely vary in each 'ecosystem'. But life is plausible in many planets and moons - it is even plausible to develop in the void of space.
If anyone starts to put God into this equasion, for argument's sake, all religions agree that he made the universe - some say it was in seven days, others may state it was instantly in a flash (although it really doesn't matter). Furthermore, it would be interesting to ignore any atheist, since they don't even have an answer to what created the universe, or what (or who) caused the big bang - at some point something out there created something that started a chain reaction that put you here reading this blog.
A very cynical and idiodic atheist may attempt to say God didn't create life on earth, that it came from outer space, but it doesn't solve the puzzle, since they forget to explain what created that life in space. As soon as the universe began, so did all laws of nature. Therefore, let's just assume God created the laws of physics and chemistry, sat back and relaxed for a few billion years and the rest has been his intervention.
One more thing, it's incredible that many humans are sure there is a God, but doubt his purpose, doubt his laws to 'function' in the rest of the universe. It is agreable to think there was much intervention to prepare the earth so that it could create and nurture life, especially since there were many requirements for our fragile biological structures to ever evolve.
First the planet needed to solidify, become stable, sift the heavy elements deep in the earth, have our precious carbon available in the air, in the water and in the soil. Water, also, was essential. Then, some smaller planet had to crash into the earth to form our moon, that not only gave movement to our oceans, but much more important shifted earth's alignment in an angle that produced our four seasons and avoided the sun from burning earth's crust and atmosphere.
Colossal preparations were needed in order to allow simple single-cell life forms to evolve. So much more happened on earth for man and his religions. Write about God’s interventions on earth would take thousands, and much more to discuss the almost-impossible steps for earth biology to produce the human race.
A single race that has developed thought and reason, in the entire planet! Human development completely stands out from any other life form, with incomparable functions that are still being discovered.
Therefore, once again, the laws governing the universe are there, but God’s intervention had to be the most important element in building mankind. To believe in a God is to believe his intervention all the way from astral bodies forming our solar system to your eyes seeing this text and your mind understanding it.
To understand the infinite complexity of man, the infinite coinciding events that let to develop mankind, it can only lead to believe in a God with a purpose. So, back to the alien situation, it would simply be up to God to chose if he intervened elsewhere to produce other sentient beings.
One would then say ‘but if God made other species in the universe, he would also prevent them from bringing harm to our planet’. Unfortunately, an apparent rule he also set is mankind’s free will. If we have it, so should any other intelligent race.
As mentioned in Hawkins’ discussions throughout the internet, an alien invasion to earth would be like the European colonization in the New World, that enslaved and overrun the native Indians. The Europeans chose to take the American continents for themselves, no supernatural force intervened such invasion, why would any intervene in earth’s invasion.
If an alien civilization had the technology to come to our solar system, why would they be friendly, and why would they be hostile. Obviously, an arriving alien race would be far advanced technologically, but not necessarily in all fields other than long-distance space travel.
Hopefully, a friendly visit would be oriented in:
- scientific purposes – study other intelligent species (biology, history or technology), study other life forms (biologically, genetically);
- economic purposes – examine trade possibilities of labor (art or technology), resources (depleted or rare elements, biology, ), intergalactic services (docking, fueling, maintenance, alliances, etc.);
- economic purposes – take, by stealth or force, all of the above;
- military purposes – fear humans as a future threat; require human manpower in their intergalactic expansion plans; invade and adapt earth for their environment;
Judging by the intense UFO sightings over the past 3 decades, the first clue to their intentions lies in these covert operations. Never has an alien ship docked in a large urban city and held out a healthy press meeting – every single sighting has been by afar, near energy or chemical sources. And they disappear as quickly as they appeared.
Also, there is the issue of abductions. If they are true, to what purpose would someone be taken without consent, meddled with, hurt, manipulated and then some be brought back. There are also reproduction reports that can only mean one thing – in some way, they wish to plant agents within our society and government.
The scale, unfortunately and despairingly, tends to a hostile purpose, as Hawkins’ warning. There are no reasons for their stealthy incursions, if there were of any friendly purposes. If they were studying our world, surely they could share our own findings of ourselves and our environment, which would be alien – and possibly incomprehensible – to them.
Even for a seemingly peaceful approach, humanity should be cautions and act accordingly. As a bad example, NASA's selfish act of sending a module into space containing our DNA code, along with a whole lot of information could serve better for a military operation against us than any imbecile attempt to share happy thought about us.
We have no condition yet to describe how any vessel could reach us from the far reaches of space, but in any case, it would be quite reasonable to state that such effort would be somewhat costly in time, resources and lives. Therefore, it would be safe to assume they took off from their homeworld with purpose – an expensive one – and someone will have to pay that bill.
