"2000" year old book. There is your answer Religion has been around longer then the Alien Conspiracy

UFO sightings are one thing. Don't forget that flying objects lacking identification are most likely of terrestrial origin. As for crash sites? Well I'd be exceedingly sceptical of claims about any alien craft with a living crew, crashing here. Here's the problem. Einsteins theories have stood up to every observation thrown at them for a century. According to his theories, for any object with Mass to reach the speed of light, would require infinite energy. Apart from the fact that there isn't this amount of energy available in the entire Universe, there is also the problem of infinite density. The faster an object is travelling, the more mass it has, because the energy that propels it is added to it's mass. The equation for density is mass over volume. No object has infinite volume, and if you divide infinity by any finite number, you still have infinity. This any massive object that travels at the speed of light, will have infinite density, and while I'm no doctor, I highly doubt anyone will survive it. As for space craft capable of creating wormholes....there is no reason for the ground to come up and hit them.

Aliens almost certainly exist, "God" however almost certainly does not exist.

If you want the short version, social conditioning, predisposition towards established traditions, the need to explain the unexplainable, and the human ego. If you want the long version, first off, religion has been a part of human culture since as far back as recollection. It wasn't always Christianity, it wasn't always Judaism, it wasn't always Hinduism, and so on and so forth, but there has always been a level of superstition and belief in the paranormal and supernatural. You can find it on the earliest cave paintings, in the young days of civilization, and even now, hence the discussion of this topic. And as a result, the majority of us are socially conditioned to accept this behavior as normal. It survived as tradition, and continues because we accept it as tradition. It also serves as a way for us to "fill in the gaps" of what we don't understand, while we still look for more easily understood answers. One reason for the aforementioned predisposition towards superstitious beliefs, is simply that back then we had very little practical knowledge of the world around us. So as a result, we created gods, monsters and demons to explain natural phenomena and answer questions we simply didn't have the answers to yet. In a way this still persists today, since even though our knowledge of the universe has vastly expanded over time, there is still a massive amount of information we lack. And lastly, the human ego. We are special, we are chosen, we are unique. The concept of having some all-powerful deity that created us is an extension of this sentiment, because it places some divine level of importance on our species and our existence. It provides a sense of meaning and purpose in a universe that honestly couldn't care less that we're here, on this comparatively miniscule speck, floating in a vast cosmos much larger than any of us could fully comprehend. There are other psychological roots I could probably point out that could explain why we're so predisposed to the concept of religion, but I feel like that's sufficient for the time being.

Because aliens can read your minds and tinfoil stops that? Op, do you know what you're talking about

According to the history channel, our religions are based off aliens that visited earth long ago. [i]Aliens[/i] [spoiler]OFC I don't know what to believe, people back then were pretty creative and anything can be over analyzed.[/spoiler]

Ancient aliens is on the history channel now so I figure it's about as normal as religion [spoiler]i want to believe[/spoiler]

How can tin foil be real if our eyes arent real?

What do you think will happen when we do find aliens? There will of course be some religious fanatics (looking at you creationists) who deny they exist, but what else? Will it lead to war, or perhaps world peace? Just curious what other people think.

The existence of aliens is almost certain. Given the sheer size of the universe, for there not to be other life would be almost impossible, and is extremely improbable.

There's most likely other life out there but probably face the same dilemma we do, making transport capable of traveling long distances across space. So odds are we'll never meet them.

Because tin foil doesn't exist.

Because all "aliens have landed on earth" People are paranoid. There historically [i]was[/i] a jesus, who's parents were a mary, and Joseph. Whether he was [i]son of god[/i] or not is debatable, but there is [i]no[/i] evidence for aliens on earth
