If there are aliens, what will they look like?

[2LaneCruzer]

Come on fellows...everybody knows that the earth was created 6000 years ago, with all of these little eccentricities in place, i.e., impact craters, dinosaur and hominid bones, etc.

It's on the flip side of the flat earth record.

I think I bought that record in the '60's...but I may have been stoned at the time

The last thread was closed due to delving in to religious beliefs versus science and, of course, some speculation about alien life.

I'd rather not see this interesting thread be closed for the same reason

Mods...time to prune...

Good grief. I'm out and about. So more work tonight.

My point is that there are BELIEFS on the current science side as well as the bible side. Science has evolved into a religion over the last 500 years.
Basically people are believing in their understandings without proof and therefore discussion of "aliens" will always be a religious discussion.

And where do you come up with that "statistic"?

Observation of photographs I've seen since I was young. Have you seen a picture of a "meteor" impact that's at an angle thus making a groove into the surface?

Once upon a time, in the great big universe there was once a planet called Earth. And in our land of make believe, we can dream up all sorts things that has happened there....and we can call this show the "Outer Limits".

All I know for sure is that if I haven't seen something it doesn't exist. No dinosaurs, no Bigfoot, no unicorns, no aliens, no 300,000 species of beetles (170,000 families of them) on a boat all at once. Pics or none of these ever happened.

btw, I always wanted a swimming pool, preferably round, so I bought a backhoe to dig one. Silly me, all I had to do was uproot a tree. Just not sure I can do that at 90 degrees, so it may take a few tries to get the right shape.

I'm quite sure that there are a few craters below as one flys from the NE to Phoenix that show a rather round hole (crater), but the displaced earth is mostly on one side of the holes. Suggesting an angular impact.

Of course, time has a way of rearranging things. Certainly if a "flood" uprooted trees, the hole would be immediately refilled with silt etc.

Same logic applies to any big hole created by something.
My argument is that it would be virtually impossible for a "meteor" to make a 90 degree impact with the supposed movement of the earth and sun.

"My point is that there are BELIEFS "

Ah my mistake yesterday, I thought what you said, was in fact based on engineering / maths and that second reply ... not sarcasm. How wrong I was, yup you're NOT replying with anything different than a lady with a bunch of tarot cards for proof. The first remarks about physics was spot on then.
