I define the idea of a soul as horse feathers...

This is disturbing and NC is rapidly becoming a crazy place...

I would like to avoid the whole Ancient Astronaut thing, there is another thread for that but it is true that UFO like objects have been reported since ancient times. I have talked to a US Navy fighter pilot that said he and his wing man chased a shiny metallic object object they could not catch when they were scrambled off the deck of an aircraft carrier when it was detected on radar approaching the ship. These type of reports are not uncommon and of course are just hearsay. Pictures and videos are a bit better or would be if not for what seems to be a world wide contest to see who can fake them better than anyone else. Any modern pictures or videos are doubly suspect due to this "contest" It is still fun to discuss the evidence and there are sightings that are simply impossible to explain and not due to lack of information. One of the best reports... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_Tehran_UFO_incident

This is true, some reports could very well be secrete aircraft, but some were seen well before there were any flying machines. Some have said that is the reason why the USAF was so keen on debunking UFOs, some of them are aircraft in development. I'm not sure how this could apply to most sightings or the videos posted here.

One of my fav vids

UFOs I would not be willing to say it's impossible, I really try to keep belief out of it, there is a considerable amount of evidence and while most of it is circumstantial or eye witness, a significant amount is difficult to simply dismiss... I would tend to agree with you, either they are fake or absolute proof of unknown flying machines, that is the discussion I hope to have, and while it's difficult not to be a little bit humorous this has nothing to do with aliens building megalithic structures for humans. Can you elaborate on why you think they are fake?

Ancient Astronauts, while I think it's quite possible that we were visited in ancient times and even influenced by them I see no reason to assume they built megalithic structures. There is a thread for Ancient Astronauts material, in this one it is off topic. Here is yet another film that is supposed to be recent, i have my doubts, but i think it's important to look at these things critically least we be guilty of the same hand waving dismissal that is the last resort of religion and pseudo-science. This film is interesting because the UFO is a shape that is often caught on film or photo shopped on film...

Here is one use for that waste.

Agreed, everything else becomes trivial if you have the power to easily transfer to Earth orbit and beyond I once saw the figures for an atmosphere on the moon and while the loss of atmosphere wouldn't be immediate it would loose gasses at a very high rate, simply bringing gasses to the moon fast enough to off set the loss would be an immense undertaking. But if you could say "magically" transfer an atmosphere or the moon it would last in the many thousands of years before it became too rarefied to breath. I think nuclear power will have to be used to really make space travel efficient... Something on the order of a gaseous core reactor like the nuclear light bulb idea. There is also the powerful but somewhat less attractive nuclear salt water rocket

To survive we must eventually leave this planet. Simulating gravity is not impossible and the resources exist in space to make large habitats.

It would appear that last one is being claimed by more than one person and in different places....

How so? Please elaborate how God is different than Santa Claus?

Yeah, lack of evidence is not a big deal when it comes to something as important as creating the world...

You wren't supposed to tell, now we'll have to do something about... it...

Why is "the bible never said god was false" have any meaning what so ever? BTW, I was never told santa was real...

there are many videos that make you go photo shop is so easy these days it's difficult to really confirm any of them...

evidently a UFO in the clouds is not an unusual type of sighting...

That is a good point...

If it really happened it would be evidence for something miraculous. And I'll say again not knowing the answer does not mean a god did it much less your god did it...

What does the possibility of the Big Bang Theory not being accurate have to do with the existence of the christian god?

More obtuse horse feathers? So your mothers back got better with no medical treatment what so ever? A humans back cannot heal? What are you saying? If god wanted to be seen as real all he would have to do is heal an amputee but of course he does not do so...

Like what? Yes and so far you have given us none, nada, no evidence what so ever, nothing but your own constant denial of the facts and baseless assertions...

So this forum is just a place for you to espouse your belief in god?

I think you are wasting your time as well as ours here...
