S3, Actually, we may not be the only intelligent life in the universe. There may other humanoids in our galaxy alone. It is possible that the universe has an inherent program to evolve humanoids wherever and whenever the conditions are right to grow creatures like us.
If there are humanoids in our galaxy, they may or may not be technologically more advanced than we are. But, due to the vast expanse of our galaxy alone, we cannot find each other and cannot communicate with each other. We can only assume that there may be life forms in some planets based on the light signatures found in our advanced telescopes. Even if we can find good evidence of life in a planet near or far from our star system, we are technologically incapable of getting there to verify the fact due to the vastness of space. The other humanoids in our galaxy would also have the same problems and limitations. We are pretty much stuck here on Earth and they on their own planet. However, if we look at the universe from a different perspective, we will find a whole new range of possibilities. If we understand that consciousness is the basis of the universe, we'll find that life is everywhere. Even a rock is a form of consciousness. As such, we can say that the planet Mars is a form of consciousness and the rocks that we see from the various NASA rovers are forms of consciousness that are now living on the planet itself. The point that I'm trying to say is that, as we evolve in consciousness, we may be able to understand the mystery of the universe through our own consciousness and physiology without relying on machines and spaceships to get us to the other worlds in our galaxy and the rest of the universe. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <s3raphita@...> wrote : The title of the article - Why the Earth Will Never Be Invaded - says a lot. Why should we project our human proclivities on alien life forms? Just because we have a fondness for building empires doesn't mean that aliens do also. Perhaps they spend their lives studying science, writing poetry or in peaceful contemplation. Perhaps they are well aware of our habits and avoid humans as being hopelessly vulgar and primitive. Having said that, we are very far from understanding what favourable conditions are necessary to allow for the rise of intelligent life in the first place. We may indeed be such a rarity that we are not within communicable distance of higher alien life forms. If it transpires that we are the only intelligent life in the universe then Obama must be the Supreme Being. Scary thought? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <jr_esq@...> wrote : The author of this article states it is so. But he appears to be clueless to the idea that consciousness is the basis of the universe and reality. He also states that we may be alone in the universe. What do you think?
