I wasn't stating what I believed in. When I say "infinite" I am not truly meaning infinite, I guess I am just using a word for extremely.fucking.large.

It is a possiblity. That anyone on this planet will ever know with certainty seems unlikley. I would not invision a Star Trek inhabited universe. Unless you wish to.

's possible, maybe even likely.

However, we're in a backwater arm at the rim of our galaxy, at a very early stage of development...I'd venture to guess that interstellar economies run at a much higher level than global ones.

None of this is really all that convincing, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I am familiar with the conspiracy of aliens building the pyramids or whatever other structure. You can find a good documentary about the pyramid that I think is the most accurate, it basically talks about the bottom parts being cut out of the hill and the rest were hauled there, it covers everything, and goes into construction management as well, I think it is likely the most accurate and most likely.

I think this is a good summary of how the pyramid was built http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KoeL...el_video_title
They go into more depth on their website, explaining the water shafts ect ect

The Sumerian texts are just that, no one has proven any of it, so it remains classified as mythology, i have read a large portion of the sumerian translated texts, and its not all that convincing, though is more in depth than say, the bible. As far as another planet that crashed into what is now the asteroid belt, maybe, but nasa has no evidence of that, and there is no nibiru in the skys, if there was one you could see it right now with a walmart telescope.

You have to remember that whenever a civilization is destroyed a ton of information is lost, as well as building techniques. Just because we can't explain everything doesn't mean aliens did it.

1022 is how many known stars there are in the universe, most have planets and most are binary, so 5 time 10 to the 22 so

50,000,000,000,000,000,000,000-80,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 number of planets, roughly

The age of the universe is 13.75 ± 0.11 billion years.

The Sun was formed about 4.57 billion years ago.

13.75-4.57=9.18.

That means that the entire Universe with all those stars and planets already talked about on here has already been through a good star cycle for our type of star.

If we had been contacted by aliens I would think that they would have changed Earth more earlier on in its life than the extremely slow progress we've made over billions of years into intelligent life. If I was an alien and I came to earth I would at least take one continent to colonize unless I already had enough worlds. I doubt they would have such patience to leave a planet/lifeforms so pristine as ours without major utilization/changing. I have no idea if we've been visited or not- I don't really care because if they did they are letting us be as we are naturally- they are innocuous. I want to know why I was born as myself and not somebody else- that seems infinitely stranger to me.

He wasn't banned for being a Polack, but rather for being a dumb, fat Polack.
