If there are aliens, what will they look like?

[CalG]

Know you have me thinking....

Does the flat earth model have an alternative description of the sun?
Or do the sun and stars remain thermo-nuclear balls of Hydrogen/ Helium plasma?

Some people will believe in anything but the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

I believe in them too...

 

[the old grind]

I still don't. If aliens have been here for so long and are somehow benevolent (even Ukrainian intervention?) how do we explain ****** or Stalin, Putin or Kim Jong-il?

Trad, I insist that the God of Abraham was paraphrased, not recorded. Suppose many Bible descriptions were related/recorded without proceeding advancements in technical knowledge to better understand them. (if a religion or not)

IMO an open mind sees no conflict between science and the the true teachings of Islam, Judaism, or Christianity among many other faiths. One might have to comprehend a difference between lesson/metaphor and in context modern understanding of things learned since the Holy words were laid down, and I find that easy to do.

Reality may cloud/confuse one's perception. Perception may cloud/confuse one's reality. "All things considered" all things should be and are considered here as in the real World, are they not?. This could be one of our rare agree to disagree things, tho' I don't believe an alien presence has yet been discovered, much less accurately/convincingly recorded any more than I believe Bigfoot is transcontinental, or that ghosts exist.

btw, imagine a ghost that is held to the floor by gravity or whatever but can walk through walls without falling through that floor. Hmmm ... Seems there are lots of things one can believe in. It's a choice we make every day.

Just give it some time to sink in. If the earth were actually rotating Baumgartner would have landed somewhere way east of where he launched.

Even in your world, it would have been west, not east.

I'm just saying the rocket appeared to hit something. Look up "rocket hitting the flat earth dome" on Youtube. (Gofast Rocket 2014)

In your video "proving the rocket hit something" you want us to believe you, yet the same video shows the curvature of the earth which I am sure you will make up some "proof" that it really is not showing that.

It's in the bag! ;-)

Is that a wrist watch?

How I know the earth is a sphere.

I set up a theodolite, I went in a straight line for four miles, turned 90-degrees left, went another four miles. Then turned another 90-degrees left, and went four miles. And then turned another 90-degrees left, and ran another four miles. If the earth us flat, I should have been close to where I started. But, I ended up quite aways away from where I started. Because planar trigonometry doesn’t work at all well on a sphere.

Let's face it. None of the things you are promoting can be observed. Not one. Everything that we've been promoting can be observed. All of it. We have photographic evidence as well as our personal observations, as well as the word of nearly 600 people that have been in orbit, as well as the many tens of thousands of people that supported their missions. No one can keep a conspiracy of that many people in tact. It's not possible.

And let's leave the my religion is better than your religion discussion out of it.

The curvature of the earth can easily be distorted by a lens. However, read the comments section of that video. In it, as I mentioned before, it is explained why the noise cuts off (the rocket motor finished, so yes, it got quiet), and it explained why the rocket appears to suddenly stop spinning (it had a device to stop the spinning for a reason). I put links in there to explain it all.

The rocket didn't hit anything, and all was explained. He's ignoring that, just as he's ignoring the wind turbines over the horizon example because it doesn't fit his belief that it's all perspective. Nor will he believe the dozens of videos out there that show huge container ships going over the horizon. If the earth's surface was flat, perspective would show the entire object decrease in size proportionally until it was a dot. However, that doesn't happen in any of the videos.

Someone needs to start a flat earth thread. That could readily drift off into perpetual motion mechanisms!

It would be a lot of fun for those who enjoy that silly stuff.

Me? I'm trying to figure out aliens!

And then there's the whole sunset thing, where I've watched the sunset while sitting stationary on a runway in a running airplane, then taken off, climbed, and watched the sun come back up. Then watched it set again. Literally, tens of millions of air travelers have witnessed this.

This guy does an excellent job of presenting reasonable conclusions from observation. Two thumbs up.

How about Tardigrades?
