If "Area 51" was real, are we prepared to know the truth?

Well many more people believe it does exist now after seeing a military base on google earth in exactly the same area as Area 51 is supposedly to be.

I think we could take it. I mean, it might be hard for people to believe, but the truth is the truth.
Religiously, maybe some people will just have to change their opinions. But let’s remember, God created more animals than just humans. so maybe he created life elsewhere too?

I personally think it did happen, but maybe not on the scale that it’s hyped up to be.
I’m also not religious, so I don’t really know about that part fairly.

You mean our government might be lying to us about something? Get outta here!!!!

I guess I should be used to it by now.

it does exist. There is so much evidence…... And yes the governent is lying to us

I’m prepared and I’d guess most of humanity could handle it without freaking out.

Religion?!?

Area 51 does exist like everybody has said already… And as for keeping secrets from us? um… NO SHIT! But I seriously doubt that we have already come into contact with UFO’s and aliens that the government knows about and withholds information from us. If there is “intelligent life” out there, they’d better be smart enough to stay the hell away from us. :\

what has the existence of secret air base in the middle of new Mexico got to do with religion. The place must be littered with them if you believe all the conspiracy theories.

If it hasn’t hurt us now, it won’t. We’re waiting for the government to tell us, we wouldn’t be the least surprised.

@ backoff
no?

I know that most humans know that they are not alone in this universe. Judging by the fact that so many animals are newly found in our already “established” earth, we know that don’t know everything. There has to be other planets and other beings, we are ready.

just because an animal is newly found doesnt mean it came from outer space. vast areas of rainforest haven been properly explored for example.

@ Lightlyseared, what I meant is that there are so many things that we have yet explored on our planet, why would it be there isn’t life in outer space. It is such a vast entity, we have no idea what’s out there. So there is a possibility for aliens and Area 51

It’s a matter of time before another planet starts developing ideals conditions for life(if it has not happened yet). It all depends on what you call live.

I heard somewhere, or read it somewhere….that there are more planets in the universe than there are grains of sand on this Earth…if that were true, the existence of aliens shouldn’t be that far fetched…and if something really did happen out in Area 51, I think most people would be able to handle the truth.

As far as the religion aspect goes…I also remember someone reading to me from the bible something about 100 sheep, and 1 sheep was led astray…and as the person interepted in his mind was….100 creations ( or perhaps planets ), 1 led astray ( Earth and our ability of free will from the whole garden of Eden and the forbidden apple )...so maybe whatever came here was from one of the other 99 planets?

Who knows? shrugs

For those asking what this has to do with religion, I have heard people say that the idea of alien life (especially intelligent alien life) is in direct contradiction with Christianity and the Bible. They were using this as a way to say that science fiction involving aliens is of questionable moral status. ::rolleyes::

I am a Christian too, and I think that such thought patterns are pretty ridiculous. I also think that such thoughts are most likely to come from the same type of people who, for example, will never, ever accept evolution as fact, no matter how much evidence there is for it. Because of the position they have taken, for such a thing to be fact would be a devastating blow to their faith, and so it would take a heck of a lot to make them accept it.

I, for one (and I believe I’m in the minority of Christians), think that we should never label a potential scientific fact as being unquestionably in opposition to our faith. Foolish thoughts lead to foolish actions, such as the trial of Galileo.

We have nuclear missiles aimed at our houses from other countries. We have terrorists in our backyards. Could a threat be any scarier? I think not.

So why would we panic knowing there was life out there?
