> [@ISD\_Drew](#): > > Real World Religion ISD\_DREW I apologize, **I forgot** that - - - is hated most everywhere now. My bad for mentioning - - -. On topic then. Is there really a “hype” over Alien Life or is it a fake hype, the kind the media create on a slow news day? ---

> [@ISD\_Drew](#): > > Real World Religion This convo is unrealistic and I am unsure why you deleted my posts talking about the origin and meaning of numbers. I already said I wasn’t imposing it on anyone I am just curious as to why others think like they do. How does - “numbers are the language of creation” mean religion? And how are we supposed to discuss the possibility of alien life without the convo touching on religion somewhat? So we can talk about numbers, but in no shape or form can we talk about where we think they come from or what they mean? I’m a 45 years old man not a school boy talking when I shouldn’t. This is unrealistic moderation done by someone who lacks experience. And you could do with instruction on how to moderate. ---

> [@Aaron](#): > > This is unrealistic moderation done by someone who lacks experience. And you could do with instruction on how to moderate So you waste your time writing a big post about something that would get said post removed? Do you know that we’re not supposed to post about “moderation” ? That means that if you don’t like how the forum is moderated you either have to shut up about it or… shut up about it. Your choice. > [@Altara\_Zemara](#): > > I have abandoned the thread Quitter. > [@Aaron](#): > > How does - “numbers are the language of creation” mean religion? Because the word “creation” involves a creator. Can’t mention anything out of the good book. That’s “Religion”. ---

That means that if you don’t like how the forum is moderated you either have to shut up about it or… shut up about it. Your choice. I guess this is a fake convo then which will never encompass the entire subject, they can go ahead and ban me because I think the moderation is unrealistic and I am not afraid to say so. I’m actually sick of the moderators and their poor decisions. One can’t even get a decent convo here and we’ve never really been able to. ---

Way above my knowledge level though can only add that the strength of the force exerted played a role in the formation. ---

> [@Charlotte\_Aufraises](#): > > You can, but only through the prism of the new religion: Science. Science is really just the study of what’s apparent, it doesn’t tell us the reason why things exists and it doesn’t explain what generates our reality. It explains the mechanics of reality but we can’t get an indication as to what prompted the creation of the universe and why. If we only consider scientific reasoning for aliens existing or not then the convo is over simply because that is not the only perspective which exists. One can’t say anything these days without deeply offending anyone. ---

> [@Aaron](#): > > Science is really just the study of what’s apparent, it doesn’t tell us the reason why things exists and it doesn’t explain what generates our reality According to the Science nuts it does. It proves that the universes appeared one day out of a big explosion. It explains where/why that explosion happened and if you believe it doesn’t then you are a problem. > [@Aaron](#): > > It explains the mechanics of reality but we can’t get an indication as to what prompted the **creation** of the universe and why It does and Science nuts say you’re mentally inferior if you don’t believe it does. And there you go with that word “creation” again. Strike it from your vocabulary. > [@Aaron](#): > > If we only consider scientific reasoning for aliens existing or not then the convo is over simply because that is not the only perspective which exists It is the **only** explanation. Other perspectives are born out of fear and ignorance. Only Science is right. > [@Aaron](#): > > One can’t say anything these days without deeply offending anyone Then the answer is easy: don’t say anything. You realize of course that I play the devil’s advocate in this post but regrettably the Science nuts do not. ---

Science is ■■■■■■■■, IMO. All it does is provide a lens through which we observe our reality. All we’ll ever know through science is what is around us. But there’s plenty of stuff out there that either gets cloudy through our lens-kinda like geographic atrophy that that guy mentions in that recent AMD commercial-or simply gets missed completely. Nothing that I know of is completely visible to everything in existence, whether seen through our lens or not. But that’s the point. Nothing will ever know everything, all the time. Not even other aliens. ---

Honestly, it doesn’t really matter what anyone thinks or believes. The truth is whatever it may be and nobody can ever change that. Really this thread should just be about exchanging ideas and general discussion, nobody is trying to get you to believe anything. ---
