Isn't that a bit backward? If i assumed that everything was guilty until proven innocent i would readily accept that aliens visited the earth's oldest civilizations, taught them how to build and involved themselves in our conflicts by choosing a side and fighting for it insted of resolving the matter peacefully just because Aliengenes said so.
What on earth does a christian symbol have to do with the construction of the pyramids?
Imagery of an all-seeing eye can be traced back to Egyptian mythology and the Eye of Horus.
The Eye of Horus is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection, royal power and good health.

I agree with you. The arguments "for" aliens being here are arguments "that it's possible" for aliens to be here. All the evidence is circumstancial at BEST. Once again, before all you who MUST feel that aliens are here, I'm not saying it's TOTALLY impossible, just saying it's no fact.
The Eye of Horus is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection, royal power and good health. The eye is personified in the goddess Wadjet (also written as Wedjat,[1][2][3]Uadjet, Wedjoyet, Edjo or Uto[4] and as The Eye of Ra[5] or "Udjat"[6]). The name Wadjet is derived from 'wadj' meaning 'green' hence 'the green one' and was known to the Greeks and Romans as 'uraeus' from the Egyptian 'iaret' meaning 'risen one' from the image of a cobra rising up in protection.

A skeptic is someone who isn't stupid enough to assert a belief before he/she has critical evidence. U.F.O....well you know what it means, it doesn't mean extra-terretrial spacecraft.
Hush us if you want, but we have a right to ask for evidence when you make a positive assertion as to what a light is in the sky, or what is controlling it.edit on 17/12/10 by awake_and_aware because: (no reason given)
some great positions he's/she's putting forward. It nice to see some intellectual minds behind the shrouds of blind faith lemmings.

see that's what i mean, you are still so ready to assume it couldn't have happened, what makes you so certain? because you haven't had a 'close encounter'? and if they are far superior (i'm not saying they are, but if they were) why would they waste their time with our mere squabbles over land and oil and religion, if they have the capability of interstellar travel, don't you think their agenda is a little above ours at this point?
and obviously there is strong argument against you, 'scientific evidence'(proven for you) or not, so it's only easily explained away to you, not to me... i am still in awe that people can be so naive to think with 300sextillion+ planets out there, and the common knowledge that exoplanets with the possible ability to sustain some sort of life already have been found, that ANYONE could still believe we are all that there is... that again is completely self centered and leaning towards possible god complex issues... if you asked me, which you didn't, but this is the place for opinions, i have mine, and you have yours... opinions that is, you have no basis to back up your disbelieves and i have no proof (sufficient for you) to back up mine... again we must agree to disagree, although i'm sure you will continue to argue, but you will not persuade this soul, i have had my experiences, and i know what i see as truth, even if i cannot show you...
What on earth does a christian symbol have to do with the construction of the pyramids?
christian symbol??? yes some christians may believe that, but then again, where did they get the triangle shape from? it's a pyramid, which was around (as far as i can tell, having grown up a roman catholic, long having dismissed that religion though and we can argue about that somewhere else) long before christianity was incorporated into this world...

and you are right to a certain extent, sci fi doesn't always constitute evidence, but if you believe that the ancient egyptians made up all the stuff that their hieroglyphs picture, then wouldn't they be the originators of sci fi??? this is referring to what you stated earlier, but i'm pretty sure if you just google you will see there is major scientific hype surrounding ancient egypt, you can look back at a previous link i supplied that clearly stated scientists and archeologists and the rest are still not able to give proof at how the pyramids were constructededit on 17-12-2010 by schitzoandro because: grammatical
