Rogan’s podcast with Eric Weinstein, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bryan Cox and other mathematicians, astrophysicist, etc. are really interesting. They put a lot into perspective. Assuming there are other life forms that visit earth, we have to understand that if they are a million light years away and they could travel at the speed of light, it would take them a million years to get here. That is too slow. So, they clearly have to travel faster than that to traverse galaxies. In other words, bend space, use worm holes or have a type of propulsion that we can’t understand nor imitate. I find the possibilities fascinating.
Just for a fun “what-if”:
If it was revealed by our government that we are being visited by beings from another star system or galaxy with capabilities far beyond our own, I think the impact on the public would be minimal. Most people at least entertain the idea that aliens could exist and wouldn’t be that surprised. However, if the government came out and said that we are being visited by spiritual/inter-dimensional entities, I think that would spark a much greater panic. Those of us who are Christians would not be panicked though, and I think it would strengthen our faith.
IMO it could go either way. I’ve always thought that the God who created this earth and everything within could have also created many others all over the universe and at different points in time. If we could establish communication with an alien and they confirm that they have something analogous to Christianity or almost any religion for that matter, it wouldn’t have an impact. If the opposite happened, then I could see what you’re saying being the outcome.I think it would have the opposite effect on the devoutly religious, not just Christians.

It’s a fun thought experiment.

About the only time I enjoy talking to my MIL is when we discuss religion. She's like that poster on here that believes the bible literally and if it's not in the bible then it's not real or it's satan. So I've had this conversation with her she's just adamant that there can not be life on another planet because it's not mentioned in the bible, she gets all flustered when I ask what if Capt Kirk is one of G^ds angels and he and the Enterprise crew seeded the earth with life?
The very first word in the title of the article is OPINION. You can argue that his conclusions are wrong but I wouldn't call him dishonest. My opinion is that there is absolutely no evidence publicly available that indicates these things are ET. There is also absolutely no evidence that the government is covering up anything ET. I might be completely wrong but I'm not being dishonest.That article is complete BS.
So the guy who handled the actual study of the government evidence that he WAS allowed to see...whose conclusions from his overall study are an attempt to "debunk " anything unexplained and therefore has confirmation bias to that end...STILL states that 2% to 5% of the videos, photos, and accounts of witnesses CANNOT be attributed to neither US military nor our adversaries. Which is exactly what the last government study said. Which of course is EXACTLY the point: our fighter pilots, ships, radar installations are STILL encountering flying craft IN US AIRSPACE that are unidentifiable and ENDANGER our pilots, our national security, and Americans in general with their presence.
Author of the articles dumbass and outright dishonest conclusion to a misleading article:
" these UFOs are mankind, all the way down."
Which is absolute bullcrap AND disproved by the data stated IN the article ITSELF.
Brilliant. Sadly most folks are both too lazy to read the whole article, and too stupid to understand the inconsistencies therein...so in many cases the author and CNN will accomplish their normal objective and modus operandi: completely misleading anyone dumb enough to consume their propaganda. Business as usual from the lowest rung in "journalism". Facts be damned.

I didn't think you were accusing me of being dishonest.I agree 100%. I am not accusing you of being dishonest bud. I am sorry if thats what it appeared I was saying. I mean no disrespect to you man we are just exchanging information and opinions.
I think that the article IS in fact intellectually dishonest. I also think that it is misleading to someone that doesnt know better or is lazy/doesn't think critically. We could debate how large a portion of society falls sadly into this category but that doesnt sound like fun to me.
