[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] Personally I like the "ant" analogy that G'Kar gives on Babylon 5. IF (big if) we did encounter an "advanced culture" (I've always found that a curious term, it betrays linear or two dimensional thinking, but I digress) chances are that we wouldn't even recognise it for what it was, if we noticed it at all. If life is as diverse as the Universe appears to be then chances are that nothing remotely like us is around for the relatively tiny window of space and time that humanity has existed and even less chance anything will crop up in whatever time we have left. That's not to say it isn't possible, there are indeed always possibilities. However the fact seams to be that there's currently no way to prove the existence of alien visitation one way or the other. As for Flying Saucers, they do exist and I've seen photos of them. Some of them had USAF markings, others had German Air force markings, and I believe they were called lifting body aircraft. Some even flew...but most seamed to crash. One nearly killed Steve Austin I'm told. When it comes to cow tipping and anorexic Talosians with seriously dilated irises, I believe that has much more to do with dream psychology and the subconscious mind than alien visitations. If I remember correctly, even the author of "Communion" said as much. Not that rational thought and reason ever got in the way of a good belief. The best modern example of this kind of mindset that I�ve heard of is that it wasn�t until the 1980�s that the Vatican, rather half heartedly, admitted that [i]maybe[/i] Galileo wasn�t all wrong and that [i]perhaps[/i] the Earth isn�t the centre of the universe after all. Too bad he wasn't around to hear the apology in person. Funny really. [/QB][/QUOTE]
