ancient aliens

Scientists flatly deny the possibility that aliens could have visited the earth thousands of years ago. Why such out-of-hand deniel? Is it that they really disbelieve the possibility or that they need to deny the possibility? Scientists have always denied the possibility of things until they have had their noses rubbed in it. Airplaines were impossible. Going to the moon was impossible. As often as not the explanations scientists come out with are as incredulous as what they are denying.

Why is it impossible to believe one thing and impossible not to believe another? Megolithic structures around the globe that engineers say would be difficult if not impossible to construct, even with today's technology. Yet we are to believe the ancients did it with stone tools and rolling one-hundred ton blocks of stone on logs at distances up to 60 or 80 miles, and do it in 20 years.

What ancient culture could afford to use the energy of tens of thousands of workers over decades while simul-taneously waging wars with their neighbors and maintaining all the daily activities needed to support a civil-ization? We would have a hard time justifying such an expenditure in manpower and resources today.

The explanations of disbelievers, the so-called skeptics, may sound very plausible but they don't ring true. The explanations they present come across as grasping at straws rather than admit the possibility of alien visitations in the past. Scientists are as dogmatic as anybody. Scientists will fight tooth and nail to maintain what they believe to be true and dismiss out-of-hand anything contrary to their beliefs. When all else fails they fall back on coincidence. Coincidence that similar structures we could hardly build today have appeared all over the world.

Visits by aliens in the past may or may not have happened. Scientists are supposed to have open minds. So why can't the admit they possibility and research it rather than glibly deny the possibility?

should humanity survive?

Or should it be stated, should the human species survive?

The way we treat each other I am beginning to wonder if there is such a thing as 'humanity.'

Throughout our history we have been antagonistic and belligerent toward each other. We still slaughter each other in wholesale lots. We seem to be a species of "I'm going to get mine no matter what it costs anybody else."

We have drug lords getting filthy rich selling death. We have arms merchants who will sell anything to anybody at the right price, no matter the death and destruction it causes. We have child laborers working 12 hour days for pennies. We are raping our planet of its resources and polluting our air and water.

We live in a world where apparently people can't be civil towards each other. The human species is all one race whatever the skin color or facial features. But we go around killing each other for what? Because of religious or political or economic differences?

The human species dominates the planet. And look what we have done to the planet. Perhaps we will succeed in killing ourselves off. Mother Nature sure won't miss us.
