Are you suggesting that we take science for 100% truth since it is somehow immune to human greed and selfishness? Can science have an agenda? What about the indoctrination of evolution in schools? These are the questions we should be asking.

I'm going to CHALLENGE these PHd's on the 2million year THEORY because ITS BOGUS time keeping. They don't have a clue and are just pulling at straws. Carbon 14 dating has been proven to be a farce and unpredictable.edit on 9-8-2012 by JohnnyCanuck because: spelling, eh?
Johnny:
Several years ago, a group of students at Texas A&M buried a cow bone. They dug it up some years later and ran a Carbon Dating test on the bone. The test said the bone was 5,000 years old.
So, it would appear that you support carbon dating and I've just proven its an imperfect science and can't accurately age anything.
We will just have to agree to disagree.

Assumption. There is no proof any of that even exists.
And in the grand stretch of the cosmos, the probability should not be assumed to be any greater than us, in fact less, because most of them may have killed themselves off to war, nuclear waste, or pollution, or any number of things that could have killed us off, it may be greatly lower.
You are assuming we would be the most reasonable species based on Earth. That is assuming other planets with life are even like Earth. In our solar system alone the planets that could support life range as diverse as the cold methane world of Titan, to the temperate cool of Mars, to the extremely hot of Venus. Earth is but one planet out of dozens that have nothing in common other than dirt and being round.
This even further assumed no bioengineering on their own accord. You don't know their culture. They might have suddenly desired to be something else, and so engineered it!
For all you know, most of the galaxy is inhabited by a "Gravemind", consuming all intelligence and linking it to one mind. Or perhaps a "reaper", scourging all life and consuming it for its own purposes.
You don't know their populations. If there are 50 trillion aliens out there, then a fleet of unstoppable exterminators that kill a million a day, would still take over a million years to finish their jobs! A million years!
The numbers involved are nearly unimaginable. You simply do not know. And to assume rocks with words on them knew more is to assume those that died knew how to live. Clearly, they did not.edit on 10-8-2012 by Gorman91 because: (no reason given)edit on 10-8-2012 by Gorman91 because: (no reason given)
Ant societies have division of labour, communication between individuals, and an ability to solve complex problems. These parallels with human societies have long been an inspiration and subject of study.

Yea. This is about evolution and in this case aliens as you brought up.
Why bring in my beliefs?
My beliefs are not consistent with what is considered scientific fact. My beliefs should not be confused with what is scientific probability.
Indeed much of what I believe contradicts what I know as facts. I don't have answers for this.

Your mixing apples and oranges, and honestly this isn't the first time. Every conversation I've had with you always end up you ranting about your beliefs and pretending anyone else's are nonexistent, and appease to ignorance by means of refusing to view them in any other way but yours.
There is no evidence for aliens coming to Earth, let alone caring enough about it.
There is no evidence for engineering life forms.
Fusing chromosomes actually happens a lot and is perfectly natural. You see it in everything from Russian beavers to Lung Fish. It's quite a common phenomenon, albeit a lengthy one.
there is evidence of engineeering life forms Humans NOW have that Ability
and that is in only from a few decades
and there there is millions to billions of years older Suns Than Ours !
you telling me Im Ignorant Open a Book read a Magazine like Discovery or Popular Science
If we can do it now They Could of done it before man (modern man ) walked the Earth
see that they God Aliens etc... Homeworld may be millions of years older then our Earth
a Speculation but a Good one ...
evidence is all around you just want to refuse to look ..
I think the crack about learning to speak English is out of line...by the way, we customarily capitalise the word. It seems the poster does not have English as a first language, That being said, he's doing a pretty good job. Certainly better than you might in his native language. This is an international forum and we welcome international participation. If one's English is a little creaky...well, thanks all the more for making the effort.

You'll note that I expend a fair bit of time and effort in attempting to inject a modicum of sanity into a lot of these debates. My only beef is that one who is unsure of their English skills should never feel any reluctance to post for that reason, and when someone's proficiency in English is challenged along with their central thesis...that sends the wrong message.

Watch Animal Farm

Animal Farm: Risks Of Genetic Engineering
and that is in only from a few decades
Yea, bioengineering has no proof 100,000 years ago.
!
@ Yeah just like chromosome 2 only discovered the fusion within the last decade
@
20 years ago you you would of said the Fusion did not Exist !! thats until the Human Genome code was finaly finsihed and that when we found it
and there there is millions to billions of years older Suns Than Ours !
...Which has nothing to do with life!
@
what ? the hell do you mean by that !! Yeah a Possible Advanced Life ! I guess Humans didnt go to the Moon in the last half a Century either (1969) just from 66 years before man didn not known how to Fly a Heavier then air machine (1903)
you telling me Im Ignorant Open a Book read a Magazine like Discovery or Popular Science
Which mention that bioengineering is only a decades old ability!
@ They have been doing it since nazi Germany the Early Stages .. and Japan too...
If we can do it now They Could of done it before man (modern man ) walked the Earth
Where's the proof? Where's the sudden gap or jumps in the fossil records? There's literally hundreds of species per genus, spread across millions of years. So either these so-called ancient designers were retarded, or didn't do anything.
Homo erectus [ Gap] Neanderthal [Gap] Cro magnan Homo Sapian
see that they God Aliens etc... Homeworld may be millions of years older then our Earth
See how that's baseless, proof-less, wild speculation of the highest order?
Baseless proofless !! yet you belive in God and the lesser .... Angels Demons
Yet science has Proof that there are Older Stars ( Suns ) then Ours in the vast Space that is called the Milkyway Our Sun is Still Young ..
Yeah a Speculation .. with as Open Mind then a Closed One ...
an Advance Race Million of Years Ahead of our Technolagy then we are that have the Ability for Space Travel
that we cant comprehend yet ...
a Speculation but a Good one ...
No actually, we call wild baseless, proof-less speculation, religion, not science.
@ LOL yeah I heard a French Scifi Writer that wrote a Book saying that man went to the moon and back as he wrote it in the 1850s with all Spec's in how to do it N.A.S.A. Copied too!!! right down in the places too..
evidence is all around you just want to refuse to look ..
By all means, show me it. Otherwise learn to speak english, present data clearly, and source your claims.
@Re search gorman you have the internet USE IT.
