Aliens - do they exist?
God - does He exist?
What if God = Alien?
Possible?
I think so....
I am quite certain that we are not the only privileged lives in this universe. There has to be other stars that has given birth to life ...maybe in some different form....maybe the elements that sustain lives there are beyond our knowledge or imagination...I mean every life form does not need to survive on Oxygen and water. They could be surviving on something entirely different. Something we can't fathom.
Maybe they are way advanced than us.
Maybe they are way behind us and we could teach them a lesson or two.
Maybe they are having fun watchin us.
Maybe they have given us a time period to establish ourselves on our own.
Maybe they are running some kind of an experiment on this planet to see how far this living race goes.
Maybe one fine day they'll come out and tell us we did well, it just took us 4.55 billion years to get to the internet age whereas some other planets are still inventing the wheel in that much time.
Or maybe they ll come and tell us we are losers, our competitors are capable of flying themselves, communicating telepathetically, controlling weather and disease, have supercomputers instead of brains, have discovered other forms of life on many other planets and toured the universe - all in 4.55 billion years. We are slow and stupid. We have to surrender to the superior race and learn from them!
If this is happening and we are being controlled by one central alien race, then isn't God= Alien?
He sees us, controls us, decides our destiny by scribbling some lines in our hands and sends us here to this planet. Then he puts us through some tests to see whether we survive or not. Depending on how we do he sends us on our next mission. If we are good we are sent on a better mission maybe even to a better planet which we humans have decided to call heaven. If we are bad we are sent to an inferior living race. Thats called hell.
He ensures the planets don't collide and that the magnetic field is just right to keep everything in place. He deviates dangerous comets from colliding with this ecosystem. He distributes energy from a central repository to different stars. After all he is experimenting. The universe is his laboratory. The planets are his testbeds. The stars are his resources. We are indeed nothing but the equivalent of lab-rats. So much for our superiority complex! We the homo-sapien-sapiens ( I m not sure whether I belong to the homo-sapien-sapien species 'cause when I was in school we were called the Homo Sapiens) should give this a thought and work harder towards advancement.
I think I can use this theory to justify a lot of things that have mystified me earlier :D
Wow!
P.S: I am not drunk or haven't seen a sci-fi recently. I like to imagine.

Suggested reading - hitchhiker's guide, Contact - Carl Sagan, Cosmos - Carl Sagan.
HHGTTG talks about mice being the reason why the earth existed, and about an entire economy which thrived on designing planets with everything on it.
Contact talks about how the Universe was built by design and of a way to prove it.
Cosmos talks about how much more likely it is to have life around us, and how we will be just another lifeform, with much smarter and much dumber beings all existing here and there.
You mean I am not the founder of this Theory??!! Good Lord!!
Need to read who stole my thoughts! :D
Jokes apart, the books have been on my must read pile for long...waiting for a long break to read them and feel the resonance of imagination.
I have caught myself thinking about life on other planets very often too. On similar lines. They might just not need water and air to survive. Maybe they live on petrol. There's so much of it - ok that's a flight of fancy. Anyway, sometimes I feel all the astronomers are beating down the wrong bush, trying to look for water, air and ice. Maybe there's a screaming need for a radical approach to looking for other life forms. Anyway, in astronomical terms, I am as dumb as a lab-mouse anyway :)
But linking it all to God? Well, that is new. And I somehow don't agree. The atheist in me is not dead yet :)

Aliens and God: both have been open topics of debate for centuries. Its upto us how we choose to sketch them in our mind and concretize them since there is no direct evidence. It varies from person to person, from mind to mind....so feel free to imagine what you like...I just expressed mine
