How important do you think it is to discuss the possibility of discovering life elsewhere in the Universe? Who do you think should initiate that dialogue? And who do you think should participate in the conversation?
People have built knowledge through experience stories strange or normal phenomenon, general living cultures and environmental surroundings
from this came astrology religion science and technology and their interdependent coordinates
All subject matters hoped to explain beliefs myths happenings and predict the future of all subject matter
nonetheless mans competitive nature led man to compete one subject matter against another.
Time and general living led to leaving the myths and science behind changing religion to fit the changing times and the growing technology led us upward towards the heavens not to mention possibility of aliens visiting us or being our forefathers
When I was young I found history and religious classes were not transparent or open to questioning or new opinions therefore there were many closed discussions
yes I do believe that students need to be taught that there may be many life forms ,opposing gods with a possibility of God who lords over all universes. At this time it is necessary for human beings to learn as much as possible about every subject however the more we learn the more godlike we become and our brain capacity may be what holds us back
if we became cyborgs or robotic with the ability to download useful knowledge we may be able to understand GOD gods universes galaxies and planets that are unlike earth
yes it is exciting times and I love knowledge and learning but how will we compress earthly and universal knowledge in our brain before our lifespan allows us the gift.

I think everyone should have the opportunity to express themselves on their beliefs about space and it relationship to earth
It is scientific to want to understand the physics and functions we do not understand but require scientific explanations
It expands the mind if we reflect their are other possibilities or life forms
I feel the human imagination creates far out creatures when there are possibilities there are even better specimens and brains than humans
The earth must prepare itself for oneness of its people before it accepts healthy or pathological interventions with other species
As we learn more over time we will need to use all our brain capacity to understand the making and functions of the universe
because the knowledge is so vast I do believe that people need to develop this new spiritual dimension without prejudice

Finally a question that I did not grow up with and an interesting one. To me – life elsewhere in space- they would be our galactic neighbors- we should all think about it and talk about it. Though- in the culture we live in today – many people don’t talk to their neighbors down the street – which is a big mistake from my perspective.
I find it almost impossible to believe that Earth is alone – that our creator only made the universe with just us in it- there must be more and I am sure that we will find each other. so – why don’t we all talk about it – I think it’s a matter of IF – not when. We will find out cousins in time and they us, let’s hope we like each other and can communicate!
You are so right in your observation that, in our current culture, not only do we not reach out to our neighbours, we often don’t even get along with each other! In a world where we are still fighting “the other” –along the lines of race, creed and colour —how ever will we accept what might be the ultimate “diversity” of beings from other planets? It’s a scary thought sometimes—hence the importance of people talking about and sharing their thoughts, feelings and yes—fears. Watch for my next post which will discuss a thoughtful and provocative article that appeared in the Guardian and talked about the impact of finding ET life on religion –“Is religion done? ”
Thanks for joining the conversation 🙂

Just means that we are only at the beginning of the path – maybe we have not even walked thru the door ! But- I do think that the door has been shown to us – I wish the minority of us that are ready – didn’t have to wait for everyone to catch up! LOL yes- good to being dialogue- but I wonder if it’s a self selected group here. I did not read much of what others say – but – I don’t see folks that are very closed to all of this posting here. Maybe I am wrong? I would love to hear and listen to others with very different viewpoints.

Organized religion helps us to understand the world and our place in it. I think every religion offers a path to God, the Creator, Allah, or what have you. I think we are meant to be good stewards, and by this I mean trying to be a good person, and this for me is the way to knowing God. I do not fear any kind of retribution. Nothing is comparable to the Creator.
