Aliens? Are they really parsimonious?

Post Reply New Topic

Some people think that aliens are a realistic possibility for visiting this world and altering it. The question though, is even though aliens are naturalistic, are they really a likely or ontologically parsimonious possibility? I mean, if you had to use Occam's razor today on the question of "who took my apple?" which idea would go first: a neighborhood kid/local crackhead, or ALIENS?

I would go with the kid, and the reason is simple. We have observed kids and crackheads in our every day lives, but rarely do we see aliens. In fact, I have never seen one. The problem is that invoking aliens as an explanation thus threatens our intellectual honesty. Even further, if aliens are like any animal that we see on our world, then if they ever visited, they would be taking us away as slaves, using us as pets, eating us, killing us, or farming us, just like we do with other animals, so that way they can get the rich minerals of our planet. Doing otherwise would make no sense, and instincts otherwise would undermine the possibility of survival.

If theorists are correct in regard to M-Theory, then there are many more dimensions outside of our perception. Mathematically possible, anyway. "What if" aliens exist outside the 3 dimensions that we can perceive? (Well, 4, if you count Time as a dimension). An alien could be standing right beside you in a parallel dimension and you simply cannot see it. I'm not saying there are aliens, but you have to admit you can't rule this out as a possibility. I worry more about crackheads killing & eating people than I do aliens.

Having sex with an alien is most likely of the order of a human having sex with an oyster. Impractical and unrewarding. If you believe sex is sinful and should be avoided you can look forward to an unenjoyable life.

im pretty shure you've already made that point in the past at some time. i was just generally speaking and fyi i dont think sex is sinful. i personally believe that aliens are the angels of the bible. and before you jump the gun with your surpiorier intellectial witty comments or points sand,
1) i do not personally believe in the bible as a litteral fact and 2) i do believe in the alien astronaught theory. people back in the day had to explain to the best of there ability what they were seeing

so please just do us both a favor and dont reply, exept my position and kindly move on
