[quote=afx114][quote=DWCAP]My biggest question is always “WHY?” Why would aliens travel many many light years to come to earth.[/quote]
Why? For the same reason we as humans have a fascination with — and are looking for — life on other planets. Why look for life on Mars? Because we’re curious beings. Oh, and because we can.[/quote]
See, that thought process is flawed. Lets say there are aliens exploring the universe. We as highly narcassistic humans in assuming that aliens are like us is an inherent flaw. Why do you think that they are curious just because we are? Why do people project images of aliens that look humanoid? Why do they want to study us just because we study other creatures? Why would they want our resources just because we can’t seem to get enough of our own? If there are aliens out there, what are the chances that they are anything like us primates (not monkeys ;D)? Really the mythology of extraterrestrial beings coming to our tiny little planet Earth is just a projection of our own narcassistic need to feel important in this big universe of ours. It’s entertaining, but highly unlikely.
