This is a humorous opinion of the question-- Are we alone?
I used to believe in aliens and Roswell being a total cover-up from our government until they started admitting some of it and now I know it’s all a scam. Here’s what I believe. I think it’s us. There are no other planets within reach of us that holds life other than ours. The spacecraft, the landings and sightings and even the crop circles are all us. I believe that we have found a way to travel time and it’s us coming back to have some fun, to change the course of events or maybe, just to mess things up. Think about it, if you had the power right now, right this very minute to go back in time, wouldn’t you? Of course, you would. Flip the switch and whoosh you are sitting in front of a cave with four prehistoric creatures cowering inside. In your pocket is a lighter. What else would you do? Light something. Ah, so that’s how man discovered fire. A lot of what I’ve heard regarding Nostradamus is that he studied the stars and the path of the planets to make his predictions. It is said that he could see the future laid out in the heavens like a stellar map print in time predicting every event in our history. How is it possible for him to see a time line of events to come? Wouldn’t that mean that our lives are pre-destined and that we really have no choice but to accept our fate? That is probably why we are interfering with our past—to try and change our destiny. Astronomers have studied the stars since Plato’s time and there is a theory that time is but a ribbon rippling through space and as any ribbon bends and folds against itself so does time. Perhaps in 2012, when Nostradamus predicts the end, it is not the end of the world but merely the end of what we believe. Perhaps in that year we discover more ability within our minds to evolve further and discover the secret of time and space. If there were life in outer space that has flown thousands of millions of light years to arrive on our puny planet why don’t they say something? Why don’t they do something? If they know we are so stupid not to be able to understand their message to us why bother drawing complicated crop circles that only confuse us further? Naw. If I were sent from planet X to see what was going on with mankind on earth I’d at least get a photo, an autograph, or a specimen of some sort. Hell, I’d take my lighter out of my pocket and light something up. Help poor ignorant mankind advance a little. But, they do nothing. They fly around and stare at us and disappear. It’s us. Crop circles are just teenagers doing donuts in their hot speed fliers. I bet they got grounded when they flew back into the launch pad. Mom and Dad were probably standing there on the patio waiting. “All right, Junior, hand over the keys and the time stick. No more time travel for you, young man. Now go to your room and study for your Quantum Physics test. And no Jay Leno reruns for a month!” We feed our fears too much with movies and stories of aliens. We speculate and try to discover the answer when the answer lies in front of us, exposed and naked waiting for us to accept. We are the cause of our own fear. We are the strength of our own truth. We hold our destiny and we are responsible for our world. So, are we alone in the world?
