  Question for Atheists and Unbelievers Alike Part II

  In our last discussion, the focus of attention was whether or not
  there existed a possibility that God existed based on the fact
  that there are a number of claims and reports of individuals
  who have experienced paranormal phenomena. In other words, if evil supernatural forces existed, could there be
  a good supernatural force as well.

  The Responses to the Questions

  To my disappointment there were strikingly similar responses
  when I would give an opinion at the Kingdom Hall regarding the
  existence of life outside the planet earth. In short, discuss the
  possibility of UFO's and other alien life.
  
  To try to engage one of Jehovah's Witnesses in this sort of
  discussion, you would have to hit him over the head with a rock.

  The Questions Continue

  Now, I will throw out some questions regarding UFO's and life on
  other planets. Do you think that the possibility exists that there is
  life on other planets? What about UFO's?, There have been a
  number of reports dealing with such phenomena. And if your
  answer is yes, the question is—could there be a chance that
  God exists as well?

  Respectfully,

  The Wanderer

  Do you think that the possibility exists that there is
  life on other planets? What about UFO's?

  Of course the possibility exists. Its relatively easy to prove something like this, because all you have to is find one example of it and it is proved without a doubt. However to disprove it you would have to examine every single planet in existance, not realistically possible.

  could there be a chance that
  God exists as well?

  Of course there is a chance that god exists, however I feel that that chance is so small that it is negligable.

  I would think that life exist on other planets. It is a mathamatical probability.

  Theres is a possibility that God exits. I dont think he is the kind of God I once immagined. I want to say hes not the kind of God the bible describes but in reality he is the kind of God the bible describes-one that appears confused to mankind. God could also be a committee of sorts, some kind of design team conducting an experiment. God could very well exhist in another dimension that we at this time are unfamiliar with. And hes conducting his experiments in our dimension.

  I doubt there is a loving kind God that will be there when I need him. I am almost sure of that by personal experience. I wish I was wrong.

  There are various posibilities as to what is going on with us humans. Starting with godless evolution to- I wont list them all here at this time. But there would be some kind of variation involving a god like entity.

  Do you think that the possibility exists that there is life on other planets?

  Of course the possibility exists. Is it probable? I think so. That's not to say it would be very interesting life. Or that it would be around at the same time we are around, and in the our vicinity.
  
  What about UFO's?, There have been a number of reports dealing with such phenomena.

  UFOs exist. UFO = unidentified flying objects. The stealth fighter, the flying wing bomber, both were UFOs for about 20 years for instance. I assume though that you mean extraterrestrial visitors. No evidence of that of course. It is unlikely in the extreme that a) life exists within a close enough distance to realistically visit AND b) this life possesses the capability to travel across the galaxy AND c) this life has the capability to detect us and know we are here in order to visit AND d) this life can travel fast enough to visit us such that we are still here by the time they arrive.

  And if your answer is yes, the question is—could there be a chance that God exists as well?

  The possibility exists that there is a God (I don't see how that is related to extraterrestrial life). The possibility also exists that every person but me has an invisible ethereal Pixie sitting on their left shoulder that tells them what to think and say. Possible but far from probable.

  Wanderer - that UFO you have a screen capture of you is not very convincing. Click the image to see the video:

  I took a closer look at the Mexico City UFO video and noticed some oddities. Take a look at the area around the aerials. When the UFO approaches, suddenly the aerial looks like it's been cut out from a different video image. If you look through the entire video there's more anomalies like this. Tell me what you think.
