Synchronicity.... I just posted this link in another section. Very interesting reading. Maybe the same thing, maybe different. This is a jolly good read. BRIGHT SKIES www.tmgnow.com/repository/secret/brightskies.htmlMaat PS .. As I started to post this the pop up advertising at top of page stated they had found Nibiru - The Twelfth Planet... ;D I love playing with the All That Is, has a mighty fine sense of humour.

The Lights are becoming more and more frequent, or is it just me? If 5 Lights in formation, appear over 'certain' major cities on each continent, and remain there for 24 hours, for all mankind to see, I'm off to the wilderness, for I was told years ago what comes next in the sequence.

Do you want to tell us?
And how do you assure yourself that the information is valid?

yeah, what were you told, and who told you?
and more abstractly, why would we need to fear alien contact? by all accounts, hostility is not a very likely scenario.

How about the aliens in the Old Testament who insisted that the first born of all species was food for them?
Hence Abraham was not surprised to be told to kill and cook his son. Fortunately the god in question settled for eating a sheep. A good healthy appetite there.

Hopefully, like us, there are more and more alien vegetarians by now...
I love Russell's, and other's, versions of the old writings of what went on around the authors in days of yore...

"and more abstractly, why would we need to fear alien contact?"
Well for a start our own record of how the Northern Hemisphere treated other races who were considered to be inferior by them, as an example the Native Americans, or the Central Americans by the Conquistadors.
Would highly technological Aliens recognise us for what we are or would we simple be vermin to be cleared off the planet or enslaved as were those living in West Africa in bygone times.
I too hope that "First Contact" would be as in Star Trek with a beneficent race such as the Vulcans and not with the equivalent of the Klingons or the Borg, or the unnamed Aliens who try to conquer the earth in films such as "Independence Day"
Oh and Matt, one thing I could never be is a Vegetarian. I can't stand most veg and am very much a meat/fish/cheese eater.

The Wars of Gods and Men www.amazon.com/Wars-Gods-Men-Earth-Chronicles/dp/0380895854 is an interesting read There are ancient traditions that some of the gods taught the manufacture of metals and then weapons to the earthlings. And then used them in territorial wars. (Where was Tubal Cain in this?) I would expect alien technology to be more advanced these days How then could we tell the beneficent from the exploitative gods? The biggest smile?

How about the aliens in the Old Testament... Would you care to elaborate on these entities and why they are necessarily aliens???

Perhaps someone else might like to I can accept that you would rather not comment but it is YOU who is best qualified to explain why YOU consider them to be aliens.

I reckon lots were aliens ... chariots of fire for example... when was the last time an angelic being (non physical) needed a chariot?
Moses.... I believe that the scientists can actually part water with their latest technologies, and make things float in the air, so these sorts of things could have been executed by superior technology way back then (note I am not saying they were). I reckon God could have got his people across a very small area in less than 40 years too. Why did it take Him so long... did he have a motive?
But you have heard all this before tamrin, on other threads.
I think we should just accept that people have their own thoughts about things like this and not burn them at the stake if they don't concur with one's own thoughts. We really can't prove things one way or the other.
I did not believe in ghosts to start with - and people who did were a bit suspect I thought. I then saw reason to reconsider my stance - too much evidence from too many quarters to be ignored. Opened my mind to "maybe..." Then I saw a ghost ... 3D ... interactive. Now people think I am a bit suss.. ;D

But you have heard all this before tamrin, on other threads. And you have heard my responses, (the problems with negative proof, Ockham's razor, etc.). A person may believe what they like in private but when they air their opinions on a public forum it becomes: Open slather so as to speak.

A person may believe what they like in private but when they air their opinions on a public forum it becomes: Open slather so as to speak. Open slather - I did say that and I only just looked up the word in dictionary.... it means 'an argument or contest in which anyone may participate.' So Tamrin (of phenomenal memory July 2007 ? I should be flattered) I am going to put some salt, pepper, sweet chilli sauce on one of those words, and gobble it up before your eyes. The word was 'contest'. I salute you for bringing my error to Light. I know we have had gladiators/terminators/Rambo's on the forum, and all probably really sweet underneath it all, but for me the forum is more about sharing knowledge, ideas, experiences - I am not into contests at all. Why? Who wins? Maat

Reason and, hopefully, wisdom. Good answer, but the question was "who," not what.
