The ..."are there any Aliens"... thread

Yeah, but there's loads of other gods even just here on earth and there's probably even other gods that we don't know about and they may have made worlds of their own to play with. In fact I'd bet that as far as gods go there are probably way more competent ones than our god. Basic parenting 101 would tell even the slackest mother not to just trust your kids not to eat the deadly fruit just because you say so. And what sort of idiot would leave the dangerous stuff just lying around for them to play with.
He also showed a hugw ammount of immaturity when he decided to wipe us all out in a flood just because we weren't living the life he told us to. Every parent knows you shouldn't live through your kids but let them develop. Our god was obviously very neurotic not to mention violently insane. Take the way he treated Job (pronounced Jobe not job as it was a person not what someone did as was the way back then) He tortured that poor f***er with all sorts of crap and just about got him to kill his own child just to prove what a loyal sap Job was...to of all people the devil. Then he says to Beezelbub that he can have a go at tormenting him if he wants.
So there are probably other gods and they would have to be pretty poor if they were actually worse than our one so they have probably made loads better worlds with really happy and contented people all over it and all living nicely with as much broad band internet and fruit as they want all for free and stuff. If we haven't heard from them it's because they know what a dip stick our god is and what sort of dross he's managed to make.
I reckon.

1. Yes, he did get a little tetchy before he had the kid, but you need to cut him a little slack. I think you are being harsh.

2. The Job thing was a massive misunderstanding and poorly reported in the (strongly biased) press.

3. The plagues were nowhere near as bad as suggested in various scriptures. Another massive over-reaction by the press.

4. The flood was nothing at all to do with God. It was the direct consequence of global warming caused by the over-reliance of mankind on fossil fuels.

5. God can't use the Internets because Heaven has no broadband facility yet. They are working on it, but the guys who dig up the road to lay the cables are all in 'the other place'.

6. No other god is up to making a whole planet and aliens and stars and stuff. It's all in the Bible. That Allah bloke is just on a bandwagon trip, the Pope (is he actually a god?) is too busy overpopulating South Americea (not personally, of course) and the slightly weird elephant types are just sculptures that went a bit wrong and are probably not gods at all.

Isis?
Description & Depiction of the Egyptian Goddess Isis
Part Human & Part AnimalThe Egyptian Gods or Goddesses, such as Isis, were often depicted as being part human and part animal. In the description of the Egyptian Goddess Isis she was most frequently depicted with the body of a human and with with the head of an animal - a cow. In the Ancient Egyptian religion certain animals were seen as sacred as they believed that the Spirit of a God resided in these animals, such as the cow, which were revered and worshipped as reincarnated Gods during their lifetimes.

I had that Isis in the back of my cab last week as it happens.

I said "Isis, did you ever create any worlds or solar systems or alien life forms?"

"No" she said "I wasn't in the MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD".

She was only going up the top of Turnpike Lane to get some fabric to line her curtains and some plant food. Nice bird, that Isis. Classy.

So why is it possible to be able to walk faster than the "aircraft" overhead. Given the height it would have made the A380 look like a private jet. Name one aircraft of that size that can fly that slow? And I have seen what went onto become the Osprey, whilst still a Bell prototype.
This was on a regular final approach path to the airport by the way.

How many fyling cows have you seen?

@Cycling Dan
When is it legal to turn an aicraft transponder off, on a commercial flight?

There are many reasons when its legal to do so. . If you fly over the Atlantic for example some pilots turn it off as there is no reason to have it on.
In fact if you squawk 7000 with your transponder on you show up as unidentified. Which is sometimes requested when flying outside of controlled airspace.

So over open seas & when requested to do so. Why would you not want one on when in controlled airspace. And in the example given, where I walked quicker than the flight overhead, on the final approach path?

1: when flying over the Atlantic for example the purpose of a transponder is for radar contact. Over the Atlantic there is no radar. Controllers like shanwick are old school. Pilots report in there location so controllers know where they are. So there is no reason for a transponder to be on. There are many reasons to turn it off but too many to name.
2: it's a matter of perception

What is? If its size, then given that it was on a final approach flightpath, with higher flying aircraft of a known size(747) that it dwarfed how could that be a matter of perception? How can walking speed be a matter of perception? I moved, on the ground, faster than it moved in the air. I left it standing so to speak.
Name one aircraft, larger than the A380 that can fly that slow!!

I wonder if it's really such a great plan to broadcast an open invitation to ET to come eat us?
Its a bit late to bother about that now. Radio signals have been transmitted for over 100 years now.
"It was on the 12th hour of the 12th day of the 12th month that Marconi received the first transatlantic radio signal on Signal Hill in 1901."

If there is no possibility of any extra-terrestrial life raching earth, why were the police given the power under the 1986 Outer Space Act to turn back/prevent any alien invasion?
