Could our existence be the product of an alien civilization's imagination?

you know. i thought closely about it, used some imagination i got this idea that maybe we are the result of not a product but we are the creation of an alien civilization. it could be that the aliens created us a million years ago from chimps. oyherwise how do you think that a monkey could get tdown from the trees and start making empires just in a few 1000 yrs considered the slow rate of evolution. the aliens must have intervened in some sort of way and made us. \n   \n    i came to this conclusion also due to historical records. you se there are many incidences where alien intevention is very obvious. for example:\n    in the ancient drawings and written records of some ancient tribes, vehicles very similar to modern day tanks n helicopters have been found. i am not exaggerating. i read this in a book on UFOs. so i think that aliens did ssomething to us in the past\n    and now i'm thinking that the so called gods of the anvient people were aliens themselves. the Great Flood mentioned in the Bible might have been caused by them because they might have made some mistake. there records of things like the holy grail which possess undescribable powers. an explosion very similar to a nuke explosion has been described in the Mahabharata. where could they have got nuclear warheads? so i think that we r the rsult of alien interventionn and not the result of a product.

I had watched a program that compiled testimony from those that claimed to have had an encounter of the third kind (Visual or physical contact with aliens not of this planet). This compliation was used as a bases for a comparison of us based on the future evolution of our speices. The fact that we humans will begin (As of this centry) relying on technology as a way of life. Our physical abilities and size will deminish as physical activity and strengh will not be as neccesary. Our eyes and mind will increase in size as the amount of visual data (Multi-tasking from several monitors at once for example.) which also will neccesitate increased brain size.\nOur requirement of food, and water will drastically change for lesser amounts in relation to activity. Meaning, that we will not have much in the form of a digestive system. (the foods we will eat may actually be a chemically processed material that are more chemical in origin than biological, which may not need digested at all)\nAfter this evolution, as anthropologist had explained, then we Human's will look very much like the aleins as described by those that claimed to have seen them. So we may have everything in common with each other. Anthropologically, we may have a simular type of history of evolving from a lesser speci to one that travels (or will) through the stars. Theologiclly, we may have, or were created by the same god(s).

Do you really think we are alone in this vast universe?...If so.. you probably think we are intelligent too..The universe is very old compared to our galaxy..we are very primitive.. we cannot even keep from killing everything on our planet...LOL!!! Why do you think we deserve proof?..Yeah they are real..as real as you and I ...well.. at least me. If you look through the very short history of man then you will see all the proof you need...if that isnt enough...then I suggest you keep watching the sky. A more intelligent species certainly wouldn't want to dive head first into the big mess that we as Humans have put ourselves in. Think about it..we kill fellow Humans...very very far from being intelligent..NOBODY here deserves proof..we must earn it!!!

Certainly, chances of another intelligent species out there are trmendous. Just a matter of time, before they find us, or we find them.

definitely, I mean so many people are so wrapped up in our lives that although we know there's outer space - we never think about it. It would be gr8 to know there are other things going on than what we can just see. Aliens (cos that's what they'll be even if they have two feet and two pairs of eyes etc) mark a whole new "time" for us - the potential to discover new things there may be things that could help us have a better quality of life that others have discovered that we haven't, to udnerstand more of what is going on around us. We think that knowing my stuff works is not important, but it definitly is... too many people live in ignorance and take things for granted.

In an ideal world, that would be great.  Unfortunately, that kind of reality is probably thousands of years away.\n\nJust like in Star Trek, we probably won't see that until aliens land, and show us exactly how primitive and violent we really are.  As long as we think we are the only civilization in the universe, there is little likelihood for improvement.\n\nI believe society is moving that way, but again, that's going to take hundreds of generations for us to evolve further.\n\nAnd if the aliens land and give us a book, don't go with them, "It's a cookbook!"

Yes, I believe in intelligence outside of our own shallow planet. As for UFOs I can say they are real..I have seen many objects both day and night, for all my life. I believe.

A figment of my imagination, right?

Nice answer Lawwwe...(not).\n\nOf course aliens exist - do the math. There are billions upon billions of stars out there. It's a mathematical certainty that there are other hospitable planets with intelligent life on them.\n\nTo all you churchies quoting the bible - there is more evidence that there are aliens than there is that there is a 'god'. You can believe in that, but not the probability of aliens. Please.

I think there must be because no matter how hard i try, theres no way i can imagine not existing, like u kina imagine blackness but there wouldn't even be that if we were just nothing.\n\nBut maybe we never existed in that time but God new the descendants would be created in the future.\n\nWho knows man!\n\nI would like to think theres life b4 birth tho, would be kinda nice

Are Humanoid aliens real?  Are Silicon-based aliens real? Are Methane-based aliens real?\n\nIn science fiction, anything is possible.  In real life, we have not encountered these beings yet.\n\nReptillian aliens are possible, but I would assume that alien beings evolved in different ways that life on earth, so there might or might not be any remote similarities......

Hi. I do not think so. It may be possible that life forms unimagined may exist (I'd be surprised if they didn't) but they would still need to be based on something other than vacuum.

The problem is, that's all most people think aliens are; little green men who ride in weird-looking UFOs. Aliens, in the true sense, would be any form of life anywhere outside Earth. Now, in a universe filled with millions of galaxies, each galaxy with trillions of stars, and each star with at least 3 planets, what do you suppose are the chances that only ONE planet had the right conditions for life? Now, as for why they haven't come to Earth, ask why we haven't gone to them. We're always under the impression that aliens would be super-advanced and omnipotent, but why would they be if we're not? For all we know, we could be the OLDEST form of sentient life in the universe. And if not, and there are alines looking for life and listening for radio signals, if we sent a radio message to the nearest (possible) habitable star system, it would be hundreds of years before it got there. And who's to say they'd even be looking in our direction? To dispute the existence of alien life just because it hasn't made contact would be like saying cells don't exist because you can't see them without a microscope.

Sure. Here are a few possibilites\n\n1. There is an all powerful , omnicient being whom created the universe - perhaps we're part of their 4th period cosmology class experiement. Lets help God get an "A" and not fubar ourselves into oblivion. Maybe it's a Universe sized version of Sim Earth where you get a better score depending on how many intelligent species survive or something. This implies that other aliens would be just as good as us but let's be comic racists and say you get "extra-credit" if Humanity survives. \n\n2. There is no God, the universe was caused by an unknown/unknowable event from an ultradense soup of subatomic matter energy. Aliens and Humans all alone in a big universe 14 billion light years across.\n\n3. Maybe it's all about Star Trek, Maybe there is a God or race of Gods (think the Q from Star Trek) who evolved in our Universe and  are so powerful they can engineer whole star systems and promote or kill off species as they see fit. \n\n4. Star Trek again, Maybe there's an advanced human species which , to a bunch of primitive herders,merchants and farmers, someone who beams up to heaven and is "from Heaven" and "Goes up to the stars" really is just some crewman on a starship. Perhaps Jesus or Mohammed were just an really just a xeno-archeologist who came from an advanced race that is guiding our civilization. \n\n5. There are God like entities or god-civilizations in the universe but they are too busy doing other God-like things to bother with us. Perhaps when they find us or we find them we won't even be able to communicate with them. \n\n6. God is a consciousness or energy based being who can move backwards and forwards through time and cohabitate or live inside us - experiencing the world as we do. That would make the statements that "we are all God", that "God lives in every one of us for as long as we live" perhaps literally true. The Christian Trinity could be explained by this situation.

There could already be. If it's alien, pretty cool. If it's human, darn government...

of course. As long there is a living thing outside space, they r aliens. The possibility is low but the no. of planet is almost infinity so the possibility increases.

basically i think 'Aliens' are just an outtake of a dream someone remembers the next morning.\nthis is what i think a favourable 'dream story' the brain does while asleep along with other standard-shemes like 'falling down from somewhere' or 'now i can fly' or 'i have been abducted' and other things.\nsince all these dreams do have a specific impact once getting noticed, people started working with these ideas, made drawings from what they think they saw, to make others able to share experiences. \nFrom whatever Alien you may see a photo its probably just a hoax, or from a film or anything else manmade.\nI think 'Aliens' always look the same cause people probably saw a photo or drawing of such an 'Alien' and somehow as lazy as the brain usually is its easier to focus on things you remember.\n\nI think if people would dream about being posessed by chocolate bars they would start the same hype the same way but draw and build or picture things looking like twix or milkyway or so\n\nbest way of having a different looking alien ... dream about your own 'custom Alien' and make pictures about it.
