Quantum Theory
It is kind of nice to see a scientist admit to the possibility of a spiritual reality....
"Because of its bizarre implications, quantum theory has been used to investigate everything from free will and the paranormal to the enigma of consciousness. Several serious physicists have devoted their lives to the study of such ideas, including Bernard d'Espagnat. In March, the 87-year-old Frenchman won the prestigious $1.5 million Templeton Prize for years of work affirming "life's spiritual dimension....Based on quantum behavior, Dr. d'Espagnat's big idea is that science can only probe so far into what is real, and there's a 'veiled reality' that will always elude us."

So what is truth?
Wormholes. Time Dilation. Black Holes. Multiple Dimensions. Reptilian Shape Shifters. Uncertainly Principle. Parallel worlds. Warping space. Gnostic gnonsense. Archons. Demiurges. Tulpas.
I find it odd that people can speak of these things with a straight face yet disparage the Christian religion. Aren't they all a little hard to believe in? Where's the evidence for any of them. Yet only one is mocked and ridiculed daily in our society. People should remember that in 1803 scientists were forced to admit that meteors fell from the sky and sometimes landed on Earth. Previously the stories of falling rocks had been mocked and ridiculed as stories made up by the uneducated rubes living in the hills.
Just who exactly benefits from the destruction of Christianity?
Jacques Vallee wrote in 1989, "I think the stage is set for the appearance of new faiths, centred on the UFO belief. To a greater degree than all phenomena modern science is confronting, the UFO can inspire awe, the sense of the smallness of man, and an idea of the possibility of contact with the cosmic. The religions we have briefly surveyed began with the miraculous experiences of one person, but to-day there are thousands for whom the belief in otherworldly contact is based on intimate conviction, drawn from what they regard as personal contact with UFOs and their occupants."

Crop Circle
I just don't know what to make of crop circles. Some are obviously hoaxes but the sheer numbers and locations they are found in around the world seem to indicate some kind of paranormal connection.
Crop circles are like UFO and bigfoot stories...alluring yet contrary to the senses.
Here is an interesting analysis of one of the most recent crop circles.

Star Trek
Like you, I watched Star Trek because everyone else was doing so. But I quickly tired of the inherent lameness of the story lines and drifted away. Here is a good example of why I switched channels to more realistic shows like Batman and Jerry Springer. Just kidding....

Skin Walker
In some Native American legends, a skin-walker is a person with the supernatural ability to turn into any animal he or she desires. Similar lore can be found in cultures throughout the world and is often referred to as shapeshifting by anthropologists.
Often, Navajos will tell of their encounter with a skinwalker, though there is a lot of hesitancy to reveal the story to non-Navajos, or (understandably) to talk of such frightening things at night. Sometimes the skinwalker will try to break into the house and attack the people inside, and will often bang on the walls of the house, knock on the windows, and climb onto the roofs. Sometimes, a strange, animal-like figure is seen standing outside the window, peering in. Other times, a skinwalker may attack a vehicle and cause a car accident. The skinwalkers are described as being fast, agile, and impossible to catch. Though some attempts have been made to shoot or kill one, they are not usually successful. Sometimes a skinwalker will be tracked down, only to lead to the house of someone known to the tracker. As in European werewolf lore, sometimes a wounded skinwalker will escape, only to have someone turn up later with a similar wound which reveals them to be the witch. It is said that if a Navajo was to know the person behind the skinwalker they had to pronounce the full name, and about three days later that person would either get sick or die for the wrong that they have committed.
According to Navajo legend, skinwalkers can have the power to read human thoughts. They also possess the ability to make any human or animal noise they choose. A skinwalker may use the voice of a relative or the cry of an infant to lure victims out of the safety of their homes.
The information above is found here.
So what does this have to do with UFO's? Mercy, mercy, haven't you been paying attention?

Cloud Circles
Then our attention was drawn up to a scene that astonished us, despite our sensibility. There in the sky was, beyond any doubt, an intelligent manifestation of the extramundane reality we’d just been discussing. A definitive "cloud circle" stretched across the entire visible sky above us, painted in cotton ball clouds the warm hue of reflected city lights against the pitch black canvas of deep space.

Disclosure
There are lots of calls across the internet for "disclosure" of government evidence of UFO activity in and around our planet. Of course no one really knows if the government is hiding any evidence at all. Most likely they are as clueless as the rest of us. Just ask yourself what government program has ever been successful.
But if the government did have evidence why would they refuse to disclose it? The following comment was referring to Bigfoot but it could very well have been addressing the subject of extraterrestrials....
"We're so used to being the ultimate intelligence out there that I suspect it would really mess with your mind."

Apocalypse?
I saw an interesting quote in a story of today's earthquake in Mexico.
"I'm scared," she said. "We Mexicans are not used to living with so much fear, but all that is happening - the economic crisis, the (swine flu) illnesses and now this - it feels like the Apocalypse."
And then in today's Anomalist there is a link to a story of "numerous questions concerning the enormous number of incidents in which reliable testimony from the witnesses has been passed off as being everything from government 'Black Ops' programs to natural phenomena...everything, that is, except the presence of an unknown intelligence operating around the globe with impunity." Story here.
Is there a connection between the two stories? Is the truth hiding in plain sight?
Ephesians 6:12 states: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
For all of you Star Trek and Space Brothers fans, the signs seem to indicate that the UFOnauts aren't coming to save us from ourselves or to protect the polar bears. That's just a dream of those who are dismissive of the belief in God.

Hand of God?
Of course it's only a photograph of objects millions of miles away but yet it does seem to strike a chord deep down within us, doesn't it?
After reading the following quote found here, I am wondering if perhaps the entire world is being given a wakeup call. Signs of the times?
"This past month, in the United States, alone, according to the National Unidentified Flying Object Reporting Center , there were one thousand, two hundred and nine sightings of unidentified phenomenon, objects seen throughout this country, in less than four weeks."
"This past month, in the United States, alone, according to the National Unidentified Flying Object Reporting Center , there were one thousand, two hundred and nine sightings of unidentified phenomenon, objects seen throughout this country, in less than four weeks."
"Even if a significant number of these civilian reports are explainable, this is the escalating extension of a disturbing trend, not that the territorial airspace of this nation is being navigated routinely by unknown phenomenon, but that,perhaps more importantly, the lid on this boiling pot is as sealed as securely as it ever was, by the inability of our national media, as well as journalism in general, to report rather than entertain, to investigate rather than console or advise us."

Conversation
God: I think I'm going to make a new creature to keep you company.
Satan: Oh my god! Why?
God: It's too nihilistic down there on Earth. You and your friends are always up to no good.
Satan: Well, you shouldn't have banished us here.
God: This time I'm going to create a perfect human being...one with free will and sentience.
Satan: Good luck, old buddy.
God: I'll wager that I can create a perfect human, one that can resist your charms.
Satan: You're on! What's the wager?
God: The ultimate control of Earth.
Satan: But you know deep down that I'll win.
God: I'm willing to take a chance, Einstein didn't know what he was talking about.

UFO Report
Like you, I read hundreds and hundreds of UFO reports every year. Most are rather vague on details and full of breathless commentary. You know what I mean. Lights moving in the sky, feelings of unease, hair standing on end, etc.
But every once in a while a really good report comes along.

Vindication of Zecharia Sitchin
New scientific discoveries continue to corroborate findings first suggested in Zecharia Sitchin's books.
Homo sapiens: The successful deciphering of a female Neanderthal genome was reported in the journal Science on February 13, 2009. The project, undertaken by scientists at the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig, Germany, aimed to verify when that failed species of humans and Homo sapiens (= Modern Man) branched off, and whether the two bad ever interbred. The New York Times pointed out that the new findings "document two important sets of genetic changes - those that occurred between 5.7 million years ago, when the human line split from the line leading to chimpanzees, and 300,000 years ago when Neanderthals and the ancestors of modern humans parted ways."
In The 12th Planet (1976), describing the Anunnaki's genetic engineering to fashion The Adam, Zecharia wrote: "Man is the product of evolution; but modern Man, Homo sapiens, is the product of the 'gods'. For, some time circa 300,000 years ago, the Nefilim took ape-man (Homo erectus) and implanted on him their own image and likeness." In The Earth Chronicles Time Chart (The Wars of Gods and Men, 1985) Zecharia wrote: 300,000 years ago: The Anunnaki toiling in the gold mines mutiny. Enki and Ninhursag create Primitive Workers through genetic manipulation... Homo sapiens begins to multiply."
The Deluge: In The 12th Planet and Divine Encounters Zecharia suggested that the biblical Flood was a giant tidal wave caused by the slippage of the ice sheet off Antarctica, causing the abrupt end of the last Ice Age circa 13,000 years ago. Two recent studies corroborate both aspects of Zecharia's take on the subject: A study of ancient temperatures in the journal Nature of 26 February 2009 concludes that while warming at the end of the last Ice Age was relatively gradual in Greenland (north Atlantic), it was "rapid and abrupt" in Antarctica (south Atlantic), about 13,000 years ago.
A study of ancient sea levels published in Science of 6 February 2009 concludes that (a) Antarctica's ice sheet collapsed abruptly and (b) that due to the topography of the continent and its surrounding sea beds, the tidal wave was at least three times higher than hitherto calculated, reaching its maximal impact some 2,000 miles away. A diagram accompanying the article shows the area of maximal tidal impact in the Persian Gulf, the Mediterranean Sea and northward therefrom - the very Lands of the Bible and Mount Ararat.

Faith and Rationality
Some of my acquaintances make fun of my beliefs concerning UFO's and other paranormal oddities. How do you defend yourself when attacked by well-meaning but obnoxious friends? I've often wondered how. There really isn't a satisfying way. Just grin and bear it. Hope for the best.
Or you can throw this is their faces....
"The man who does not dare to jump in the water will never learn what it means to swim and... the man who does not dare to jump into the truth will never attain the certainty that truth in fact exists....This first act of faith, of self-abandoning confidence, far from being irrational, is simply the prior condition of any certainty about the existence of the rational in the first place." -- Hans Urs von Balthasar
Of course, he was speaking of faith and rationality in regards to his church's teachings. But he could have been speaking of UFO's.

We are not special
"Your world is not that special. Your planet is not located at the center of the universe. Neither is your star, or your galaxy. Perhaps most disturbing at all, as telescopes have revealed to us the enormity of space, both astronomy and geology have revealed the breathless expanse of time. We are not just insignificantly small items living in a vast ocean of space; we're living in a moment so brief that it's barely a single tick of a clock that's already run through millennia without us, and will not pause when we are gone."
"No, you are not that special. And yet, you are a wonder, absolutely unique and irreplaceable. Your species is a wonder, gifted with physical and mental resources that provide boundless opportunity. Your planet is a wonder, swarming with life in infinite variety and complexity. Your universe is a wonder, based on laws so precisely balanced that the slightest variation in any of them might have caused everything -- space, time, and everything that moves through both -- to never have appeared."

Charles Darwin
I only recently learned that Charles Darwin's seminal work "The Origin of Species" has a longer title. The book's full title is On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.
Wikipedia states that, "The scientific theory of evolution has continued to evolve since Darwin's contributions, but natural selection remains the most widely accepted scientific model of speciation."
Isn't it odd that no one refers to the final eleven words of the title? Is it another example of political correctness? The answer is...Yes, of course. Here's some quotes.

Geocentric Universe
Ptolemy said that Earth was the stationary center of the universe.
Copernicus placed the Sun at the center of the Solar System.
Galileo championed the ideas of Copernicus.
All were wrong. The great scientists of their time were all wrong.
However, the astronomers in Sumeria in 3500 B.C. correctly placed the Earth in its proper place.
But the ancient stories are myths, right? Myths are for children. Myths are always proven wrong or ignored, right?
"All great truths begin as blasphemies."- George Bernard Shaw

UFO's and Demons?
Many websites claim that UFO's are a demonic manifestation. Even Whitley Strieber has written of his belief in demons in his book Transformation. John Keel also referred to "the age-old demonological phenomenon."
Dr. Jacques Valle, in Messengers of Deception, observed that, "Human beings are under the control of a strange force that bends them in absurd ways, forcing them to play a role in a bizarre game of deception."
Some writers quote Matthew 16:4, "An evil and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah" when others say that UFO's are signs intended for the faithful. So who is right? William Shakespeare added to the confusion by writing, "There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
Still others claim that Satan's forces are attempting to prevent the second coming of Jesus Christ by re-corrupting the human race as they did once before, during Noah's generation.
And Matthew 13 seems to hint at unseen forces, "By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart...."
And finally, the last word....
The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering.O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

Evolution or Intelligent Design?
(Note - I found this on my computer in My Documents and am unable to attribute its source. But it is worth a post IMBO.)
A pre-human species called Homo Erectus lived on earth from over a million years ago until nearly 150,000 years ago with little change in his skeletal or intellectual constitution. The monkeys and great apes have endured in a virtually unchanged nature for much longer.
Between 100,000 and 40,000 years ago, a new creature with characteristics measurably different from his predecessors appeared on earth, called Neanderthal man. Cro-Magnon man, also dubbed "modern man," appeared about 40,000 years ago. So, in about 100,000 years, mankind, of which Neanderthal was first, changed from a primitive creature who groveled around in trees and on the savannas like Homo Erectus and the apes, to a creature who can depart earth and walk on the moon.
Althought 100,000 years seems an incredibly long time, by evolutionary and archeological reckonings it is an astonishingly short time for such staggering developmental changes to occur in an species. It is all the more puzzling when it is realized such radical changes have not occurred during that same time period in any other animals on earth.
Could it be that these changes occurred not because of changes in natural environmental conditions, but because of interference in the evolution of humans by an alien group? Is it possible man is not solely the result of natural evolution, and not solely the result of special creation? Could he be the end product of both?

Between 100,000 and 40,000 years ago, a new creature with characteristics measurably different from his predecessors appeared on earth, called Neanderthal man. Cro-Magnon man, also dubbed "modern man," appeared about 40,000 years ago. So, in about 100,000 years, mankind, of which Neanderthal was first, changed from a primitive creature who groveled around in trees and on the savannas like Homo Erectus and the apes, to a creature who can depart earth and walk on the moon.
Althought 100,000 years seems an incredibly long time, by evolutionary and archeological reckonings it is an astonishingly short time for such staggering developmental changes to occur in an species. It is all the more puzzling when it is realized such radical changes have not occurred during that same time period in any other animals on earth.
Could it be that these changes occurred not because of changes in natural environmental conditions, but because of interference in the evolution of humans by an alien group? Is it possible man is not solely the result of natural evolution, and not solely the result of special creation? Could he be the end product of both?

Carl Sagan
I really never liked this guy. He was rather cloying and full of condescention, in my opinion. His appearances on the Johnny Carson show always left me feeling cold.
I've posted several times on Sagan. See here and here.
But he wasn't 100% bad. I do like this quote...
"Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere."

Computer Simulation
Even Rush Limbaugh thinks we're in a simulation....
"We're all in a giant sitcom. God is writing it, and we're going to be laughing our way through the Obama-Reid-Pelosi depression."
