Now C&Gers, let us try to have one somewhat intelligent discussion about extra-terrestrials. Does C&G have a high enough combined intelligence to discuss this? Probably not.
I personally believe that aliens have found us already, and they just don't care. If they are smart enough to find us, without us ever knowing of them, they are a lot smarter then us. I just say we are lucky they don't decide to come down and blow us all to smithereens.
On-Topic because clans. |

Personally. As the paranoid creep I am,
I believe there is a system of planets somewhere, And Earth is being watched. When our own species stops fighting, and we become capable of long range travel, I'm sure we'll be able to enter this system, and possibly learn to cure our illnesses.
Something that bothers me, Interbreeding. |

| That could be quite complicated, depending on where the ETs are from, what their planet is like, what they look like..But yes, I have a feeling they would be outcasts, unless by then we are more compassionate and caring. |

| Something that is always overlooked, is the fact that we could possibly be the Aliens and we are going to be the ones landing on another planet and making first contact. Examining this would be difficult, perhaps these aliens possess different senses, that we'd never imagine. |

I could see that happening some time in the farther future.
But right now, I think at least one species of aliens have found us already, as drawings of UFOs have been found in Egyptian tombs. I have seen pictures made by ancient civilizations of men with big, clear helmets on their heads, like out astronaut suits. |

| Perhaps first contact has already been made by our governments? It'd be easy to cover up and dismiss, not to mention, mass panic would happen if we realized aliens have been to our planet. |

That would be a big cover-up. I don't think that we have made contact yet, but the UN should, if we have not already, set up a plan for when we do make first contact.
If they have been to our planet, the jump in our technology would be amazing, if they were friendly and peaceful.
If they aren't/weren't we would be dead by now. |

| I believe mankind is like a single ant and large space faring empires are like people. The ants are tiny and could easilly be destroyed, but not all humans want to destroy ants and some actually help them, but there are too many to see interact with them all. |

In my opinion, I understand why Aliens wouldn't care about us.
Humans have so many problems. Our emotions get in the way.
Humans are savage animals. And I am not proud of it. |

As a christian, I don't beleive in aliens. If god had created other life, wouldn't he have told us?
If you're not christian just ignore me. |

| And to be scientific, Earth's germs, bacteria, and diseases would most likely kill whatever comes to our planet. |

If this continues to go well, I plan on more intelligent discussions, like the afterlife and what happens in it.
But, if a God did exist, wouldn't they be an alien, in some sense?
If the christian god is real, he certainly has more powers then normal humans. |

No. These are developed for earth cells. By evolution's standards, the Alien's cell would be completely different, and the Bacteria and virus would not be able to destroy it. |

| Plus any aliens that visit Earth have probably thought of these possible scenarios and have plans for them. |

Yes, I believe there is sentient life beyond Earth. It's foolsih and arrogant to think that 'Earth is special'. Just because we haven't seen planets like it yet, doesn't mean they aren't you there.
Do I think they've found us? Umm- I doubt it. Why? Because the Milky Way is a very big place. While it's possible other lifeforms have developed long-range space travel (the universe has been around a long time, if a planet exists where the first major species to evolve wasn't wiped-out [for us, the dinos] they would've had much more time to evolve and advance with their technology.
So if they ARE out there, why haven't they found us? Because the galaxy is a big place. On the big-scope of things, Earth is just another ball of rock orbitting a very average star in a system that as a whole has little fame to claim.
If they have found us, it makes sense for them to only watch from the shadows. Like all species, humanity needs to find its own way. We need to solve our own problems of war, poverty, pollution if we have any hope of making it into the stars.
I'd like to hope they're out there. When I start college, I hope to become an Aerospace Engineer. None of us may ever see an alien, but I just hope I can help someone else to. |

@Whale
I realize there's more chrisians out there than just Roman Catholics, but the Vatican made a statement saying that belief in aliens doesn't go against belief in God.
But also, studies find the indiginous species almost always suffers more than the invasive spiecies. It's just science.
