Have Aliens Visited Earth In The Past?

On another thread Naomi insists that they have but won't discuss it any further and won't cite any sort of evidence so I thought I'd open it up for a wider discussion.

So what do you think and what is your supporting data?

Thanks.

To quote the Bible as evidence is as unconvincing as quoting Lord of the Rings - just someone's fertile imagination.

I read these books years ago after reading Chariots of the Gods

Amazon.co.uk User Recommendationref=sr_1_1?crid=258PHK7CZQH2B&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.oKyzux6BOtNvfkGDRwbMK5YfVJY6Vrf6TzXwnNs91BM.sn98F5q19a7J5M1zq02q7Za9fLSfItxnwBK6odWOzl4&dib_tag=se&keywords=crash+go+the+chariots&qid=1738183426&sprefix=crash+go+the+chariots%2Caps%2C116&sr=8-1

 

They were written from a Christian perspective but were an antedote to the writtings of Von Daniken.

 

 

Dont know what happened to my 2nd link.

Any way the second book was called The Chariots Still Crash by the same author

TTT is not alone in having a unique way of communicating on screen.

He is confrontational while others are haughty and aloof and never the twain shall meet.

I sometimes wonder how partners deal with idiosyncrasies or, indeed, if it's just an adopted persona and not indicative of real life.

Now, off to organise a candle-lit supper. x

Question Author

...using the royal doulton with the hand painted periwinkles?

I doubt it. 

I'm sure there is life elsewhere, but it's ridiculous to think it might have come across us even it if could.

People don't understand the vastness of the universe.

Question Author

Yes tomus bang on.

Von Danikens stuff has all been debunked by the way.

It was interesting in 1974 but we're 50 years on from that.

Tomus/nailedit, this isn't about von Daniken and putting the boot in to him detracts from the topic.  Incidentally, his original book in which he first shared his basic theory that travellers from elsewhere in the universe came to earth thousands of years ago - which is what we're talking about - is still in print.  
 

As for whether man will ever have the ability to travel in interstellar space, that is debatable:  greater minds than any here - Stephen Hawking for one - have said yes.

I was watching Cox's "Planets" - seems it takes years for a probe travelling at enormous speed to reach even the outer planets of our own solar system. So yes - immense distances involved.

If "god" was an alien who visited the young Earth millions of years ago, tinkered about a bit and left - well that makes more sense than the stuff religionists believe.

Question Author

Forget the probe the first human radio signal at c would only be a 5th of the way to Betelgeuse and in galactic terms that's to the garden gate. I don't think people really comprehend how truly vast the distances are. No doubt there will be some interplanetary travel but I can't ever see any inter stellar travel. Ditto for all the alien civilisations out there. We will never see any aliens and I'm certain we will never have any sort of contact.

We know what you think.  Give others a chance to get a word in edgeways - or in any other way.

Question Author

I was adding to the post at 08:13.

I'm debating on this post naomi if your lack of knowledge and awareness makes you fear enlightenment then feel free to ignore these posts.

The OP includes "...won't cite any sort of evidence..." for ET visitors.

Naomi's disagreers won't cite any sort of evidence that faster than light, or other exotic means of communication or travel, could be devised after perhaps millions of years of ET civilisations. None of them, including Naomi, can provide such evidence; but Naomi's opinion is actually capable of support or vindication if ET's actually turned up. No "scientific" proof that visits can't occur is based on supposition that our current understanding of the universe is now correct and fixed. That is quite possibly incorrect.

Maybe those who DO understand the vast distances involved could illustrate, model even, their thoughts using various different sized fruits, balls and balloons.

They could be positioned in and around the massive egos on display to help us thickos grasp what they pretend to know about.

Thanks.

Question Author

If the distance from the earth to the sun was 1 metre, on that scale how far away is the closest star?

269km

How's that?

Where's the fruit?

Question Author

If the distance from the earth to the sun was the width of an 🍎, on that scale how far away is the closest star?

269 🍎s

How's that?

TTT, you are not 'debating'.  You don't 'debate'.  I'd hazard an educated (and I am educated) guess that you've never taken part in a reasoned academic 'debate' in your life.  You just ride roughshod like a poor man's Alf Garnett over any ideas that don't suit your own narrow and limited perspective of the world and over anyone who disagrees with you.  You ask questions like this not because you seek intelligent discourse, but because you want to ridicule other people to show us all how very clever you (and probably you alone)  think you are - which is not clever.  Furthermore, in telling me to ignore your posts after having asked me to comment, you are contradicting yourself.  

 

This is what NASA has to say on the subject of interstellar travel.  

 

//For the moment, sending humans to the edge of interstellar space, let alone across the cosmic void to other stars, remains firmly in the realm of science fiction. But scientists and engineers are developing skills and technologies that might help us get there one day.//

They do not dismiss the idea.

 

Given that Ezekiel, without the vaguest notion of any sort of technology, wrote of his experiences around 3000 years ago, we should be asking what another 3000 (or even 500 or 1000 years) of human endeavour might reveal to us.

I think I've got it now, apples are a kilometer wide.

Is this why science is a core subject?
