Does this include the terminology used to describe possible encounters e.g., the greys, little green men, UFO's, UAP's?
I agree Neil. Indeed, science fiction and science fact have become inexplicably linked... I certainly appreciate that one may in fact drive the other and vice versa.
Yes maybe Anthony. It may be that there is a need for us to speculate about life beyond our own, and that life may well exist across the cosmos. Exciting to believe that one day we may well be able to travel to the far flung reaches of the galaxy. However, not in our lifetime... sadly.
You pointed to a very interesting topic. May I argue that the answer is case- and context dependent one. Still may I point out that the Bible states that God is transcendent:
One can interpret this fact so that life has been created on earth by an extra -terrestrial. In the field of theology I found an article related to this question:
Andreas Losch & Andreas Krebs (2015) Implications for the Discovery of Extraterrestrial Life: A Theological Approach, Theology and Science, 13:2, 230-244, DOI: 10.1080/14746700.2015.1023522, Free access:
Thanks Bulcsa, this sounds extremely interesting. Ill take a look at: Andreas Losch & Andreas Krebs (2015) Implications for the Discovery of Extraterrestrial Life: A Theological Approach. Regards, Ken.
Human Beings, Fictional, Enigmatic, Metaphysical and Religions were naturally existing together. Hence, their beliefs in Extraterrestrial stands for ever.
Thanks for sharing this heuristically and apprehensive virgin Global Project.
@Scholar Taiwo Àkànbí Ọláìyá, exactly. This is the pathogenesis of Mataphysical (Religions etc) introduced by the foremost Oligarchists in the Cosmos till date. The Thanks immensely.
Human beings, by nature, are anihimative made. Virtually all of them believes in ENUMA ELISH that is, the Heavenly Town Hall meeting with the Habit of gods. Fewer, like my able self, who were with Religious Neutral and Rare Attitude (RNRA) are free from the inherent claws of ET, Aliens living with us and voodoo metaphysical mentality.

Dear Dr Ken Drinkwater . The ignorance and sorcery make people think the existence of Extra-terrestrials. Scientifically there is no any prove of the presence of the extra-terrestrials. Thank you
Man is limited by what he sees, hears, or percieves! I think human seeks to explain life’s strange (extraterrestrial) occurences beyond what science and art could avail
I think it is the curiosity that has accompanied humans since the beginning of creation. Man is curious by nature, so he usually unleashes his imagination to believe in many supernatural phenomena, and this is what prompted science fiction and paranormal stories to imagine many phenomena and events... And frankly, today we started to touch many of these chapters on the reality, which we did not believe would become a reality one day...My sincere gratitude to all.
It is written: Knuth said that he’s not entirely married to the concept of these sightings as evidence of extraterrestrial life, acknowledging that there are two working hypotheses that he entertains while approaching each incident. One is that the encounters are perpetrated by extraterrestrials. The other, known as the “Wakanda hypothesis” in reference to the eponymous fictional kingdom in the Black Panther comic series, considers the possibility of an Earth-based civilization that has “extreme technology,” Knuth said.
Measuring mobility patterns of video recordings followed by analyses of the measurements should exclude effects of 'hallucinations' or other psychology-associated effects, right?
Mr. Dolan, I would like to add: What would people do when there would be no secrets anymore and there would be no problems anymore to be solved? From a sociopsychological point of view, the search for knowledge might be more important than knowledge per se?
Given that you as a scientist will never have direct access to details of contents of the mind of (human) beings other than yourself, you will never be able to scientifically compare the details of contents of your own mind with that of other (human) beings.... This also implies that the functioning of this world is principally based on believing or not believing what other (human) beings express (gestures, behaviour, vocalisations, etc...) and to correlate via education these expressions of other (human) beings with the self-experiences you as a scientist had yourself....
If you think this statement is wrong, please provide arguments...
Thank you!
(The same reasoning can apply for visual or sound flashes you might perceive via telepathy)
Perhaps, its a way of giving our lives some added purpose. It is possibly about one's capacity to believe in and feel that we have a higher purpose, a sense of living, providing some added meaning in our lives, which may also of course assist us in fantasizing about the cosmos whilst escaping the normal, mundane and boring earthly routines...
The human being needs to relate to a superior or spiritual facet, and this belief manages to occupy that place in certain people, although religions may consider that these aliens were created by God, if they existed.
