thats what I am saying...all that alien-homosapiens technology transfer is based on puff of nonexisting air.
It's difficult to say with certainty whether some things are truly nonexistant or not. There's probabilities, yes, but even those are sometimes hard to quantify. This very much includes the probabilities of extraterrestrials. Too many unknown variables to adequately address the problem, though this doesn't stop people from stating "yea" or "nay" with unwavering conviction.
What does develop stories mean, exactly? And about proof and belief... don't confuse proof with evidence, or belief with open-mindedness.
Or Poof and belief with closed-mindedness. History is not quite, tame or as kind as we would like to believe it has been.
I disagree. The twentieth century saw the first two world wars, the cold war, and a number of wars there in between (i'm not belittling the others, you all get the point). One thing about war is progression. Despite all the lives lost, all of the time in combat and planning to best your enemy, there is also a lot of time spent on development. There is perhaps more money spent on weaponry at this point than on all the individual government grants combined outside of wartime. Because of the aggression dragging the pockets and the money they carry you end up with a lot more push and shove to get things done. We've got plenty of war time discoveries that made huge leaps, the Atom bomb, railroads, all number of stipulations, regulations, and advancements come from our last one hundred years of war. Competition has and always will bring out the best in workers, look at the Stakhanovites, the space race, the development of aircraft. Who knows, at this rate I bet we "advance" the hell out of ourselves.
I was kind of leaving war out of the picture because otherwise some smart asciid dictator will realise just how much cool stuff people managed to research in such a quick time period because of a war push and there before you know it we're all at each others throughts just so some executive can get a more advanced powertoy.
oh I forgat to mention it...but the WWI and WWII produced some really neat stuff that helped our civilization and advanced us! and life became better and we became more civilized!
Sir TheVisitor...I was making fun of Stryder's comment above. Wars obviously are a horrible thing and take too many lives.
Okay, I have a msg for the guys that DON'T want to believe an alternative illusion,....get out of pseudoscience,.... So that we, believers, can talk about this stuff, without those discussions ALWAYS mounting to dis-regard of proof by saying there is no proof. There is proof enough, you dis-informationists just don't want us to say it to others.
They haven't taken enough lives. I'm still here, aren't I. :bugeye: I don't think Stryder was endorsing war. Though I wonder what he meant by smart asciid dictator? Maybe all the time spent in the computer forum has made him sublime?
we all take this seriously. alternative illusion in a sublime state of parapsychological anomaly is very intricate subject.
