UFO's... What do you think?

BBQ alien might be more realistic. They are afraid that's whey they are not here! We'd kill them. HS

Actually they are here. Why they haven't already turned Earth into a buffet is unknown. Perhaps we're more valuable alive than dead or perhaps they just don't like the way humans taste? :chef:

They're real. But God still created them as well!!

Or maybe the Earth is the alien equivalent of a little kid's ant farm. Push a stick into it and watch them run.

If extraterrestrial beings show up here before we discover life and travel to another place, or have shown up here already... then it is assumed that their technology is far beyond ours. This would also lead me to believe that they could probably wipe us out if they wanted to.

It may also be fair to say that they have been around longer to be able to evolve to that point.

My question is why are aliens usually portrayed so similar to humans... two legs, two arms, a head, and close in size? My guess is that if they do exist they wouldn't look anything like us and be a completely different size.

The Men in Black movies explained it all to me.

Physical characteristics are a function of the environment in which a creature evolves. Whatever works best on a planet survives and the rest become existent. Similar aliens would tend to come here because we have the potential to be more useful?

I don't know, I always thought a centaur would be a pretty practical body. :laughing:

Or better yet, similar aliens would tend to come here because our environment would be positive to their makeup.

As to potential for usefulness. When/if we gain the ability to go to planets that have intelligent life, will we go their to use them?? After having watched decades of alien movies we tend to think evil of them. Would we be evil like that in our travels?
