The UFO Controversy Put Into Perspective

   First off, clear your mind of any thoughts.

   Okay, are you ready?

   Imagine you are at the beach. Any beach, anywhere. You reach down and pick up a handful of sand. How many grains of sand do you think you have in your hand?

  100,000?
   200,000?
   500,000?

   Alright, so now you fill up a bucket with sand. How many grains do you have now?

   10,000,000?
   50,000,000?
   100,000,000?

   Now, how many grains of sand are on that whole beach?

   1,000,000,000,000?
   100,000,000,000,000?

   Let's just say that there are quite a few grains of sand present.

   Okay, now how many beaches are there on this planet? Once again, let it suffice to say that there are lots and lots of them. So, how many grains of sand do you think there are on all the world's beaches combined?

    These are unfathomable numbers, our brains are incapable of conceiving such astounding amounts, however with that in mind, consider this: there are more stars in our universe than there are grains of sand on all the beaches in all the world.

   Our star, the Sun, has eight planets rotating around it. So, how many other planets do you think this universe contains?

   Now let's try to figure out if life might exist anywhere else in this vastness.

    Let's say that conditions needed for life as we know it exist on only 1 in every 1,000,000,000 solar systems. Then let's say that the time needed for evolution to take hold to form the most basic single cell organisms has only happened on 1 in every 1,000,000,000 planets. and let's go on to say that all the things needed for the development of intelligent life were present in only 1 in 1,000,000,000 of those planets. That still leaves billions upon billions of planets that could have intelligent life on them. We would have to be about the most arrogant things ever created to think we are the only intelligent life in this universe.

   Life has existed on Earth for approximately 3,000,000,000 years. Human beings have been around for about 1,000,000 years or so. If you consider our linked lineage. The written history of man goes back a little over 5000 years. In that 5000 years we have gone from hunter-gatherers to people that can land a man on the moon.

   So what will we accomplish in the next hundred years? How about the next thousand years? How about in ten thousand years? How advanced would a race of beings be if they were a million years ahead of us in the evolutionary process?

   As much as society dismisses people for believing in alien visitors to this planet, if you consider the sheer odds of its likelihood, it doesn't seem so preposterous.

   Why wouldn't an advanced race want to study us? We send probes throughout the cosmos to investigate what's out there. We build huge telescopes to look and see what we can find; why wouldn't they be just as curious?

    There have been tens of thousands of people reporting that they witnessed UFOs in the skies, are they all nuts? Maybe they're all hoaxers just pulling a prank. Every one of them doesn't have to be believed, but if only one of them really did see an alien craft then that would mean that they do exist. Just one.

    It's very easy to see why the government would want to cover up such a thing, how are they going to supposedly protect us from a race so incredibly advanced? They can't. So instead they cover up any knowledge of it and start a campaign to discredit believers as lunatics and psychotic. Anybody reporting seeing a UFO is ridiculed and humiliated by their peers and society in general. 

   I believe that extra-terrestrials exist and are present on this planet, I don't know what agenda they might have, but I certainly hope it's peaceful. You can call me an idiot for believing if you like, but after contemplating the odds I showed you earlier you still think that alien visitation is impossible, then I believe you'll find the biggest fool in the mirror.

  1. Some may think I'm contradicting myself because I believe in ET's, evolution, and God, but I see no reason why God couldn't create life elsewhere, and why couldn't God use evolution as part of his creation plan ? Again, it would be arrogant of us to assume that we know how God works, because as they say "God works in mysterious ways"

  2. If you consider that over 99% of all life that ever existed on Earth is now extinct then why couldn't many races of intelligent beings have once lived here but are now lost to time ?
