The Implications

[poliphilo]

If the aliens are here on earth and have- as some maintain- been observing us and intervening in our affairs since forever- it will, when the story finally breaks- involve a rewriting of history and an adjustment of our view of things comparable to, in fact considerably more disruptive than, the shuffling and kerfuffling brought about in the mid-19th century by Darwin and Russell and the geologists. I read somewhere, on some website or other, that the Vatican has declared itself willing and able to baptize any aliens who show a desire to embrace the One True Faith- which is remarkably broadminded of it. But can you see the Greys and the Nordics and the Reptilians lining up to take advantage of the offer? No, me neither.

Personally, I think we're overdue for a paradigm shift.  The current one (we're just accidents of Nature, all alone in the Universe) is beginning to smell distinctly off.

Mankind would sometimes need a rewriting of history all by itself, without the subject of extraterrestrial life.

It's an ongoing process. History is continually being revised. It's what historians are for. If the historical record was settled for all time we wouldn't need them.

we'd only be lucky if the _aliens_ would save us from our selves=
they probably are just waiting to see what happens after extinction.

Some say they're here to mentor us and protect the earth; others say they're not so friendly. One witness, who claims to have worked at Area 51, says there are 57 different races.

I doubt we are not just mere accidents but have been experimented on for eons to see how we as a race develop. Something out there is orchestrating our lives!

57 races who might be interested in a planet
devoid of dangerous humans

stepped back unless the humans
are really going to make it inhabitable

if 57 aliens fighting over this planet
no one would want to be here
ever

It's what I'm inclined to believe too.
