A Final Blog About Aliens (UFO, Dimensional Craft, et al)

People love to believe in things. I won't get into religion because that's well, just way too easy. Point is, belief doesn't make it so. Read Epicuris, Socrates, or any of the B.C.E. philosophers who routinely struck down such talk as "thought candy."

In other words, it tastes good, but it's really not very good for you. At all.

Premise: UFOs are aliens from other planets/times/universes.
Conclusion: False.
Bias: OMG so false, it's just loony to even consider... stop, you're hurting me... oh it hurts to laugh so hard.

WHY? Please read for a VERY SIMPLE REASON why UFOs are just aircraft or other Earthly things. Oh, there's not just ONE, but several extremely good reasons why aliens would not fly here or time-travel here.

Theory and Clarification (grouped):
A;
Aliens are gods/godlike beings, from other times, universes, dimensions, or other undiscovered reality.

Okay, now I have to disprove godhood. For f**k sake... fine.

DISproof -
If they're godlike, they are far superior to us, and we'd have no ability to keep them secret, stop them, or even understand them. We'd be like ants to them. So, why are we not inundated with aliens walking around poking us with sticks, tagging us with collars, and so on? There's nothing stopping them from doing as they wish, and at least some of them presumably could want to do bad things to us - or at least things that we wouldn't understand.

There is no evidence anywhere on Earth of our societies having been tampered with in any way. If they're THAT GOOD, then they ARE gods, and we get back into a theology debate - not an argument about aliens.

B1;
Aliens/Humans/things visit from other planets, but are not godlike.

DISproof-
Just traveling to MARS takes a YEAR. Do you want to know how long it would take to get to just the nearest star IN our galaxy? At least 20 years, assuming we could get to half the speed of light in 5 years, and then slow down to orbit a planet.

Those aliens from Alpha Centauri better live to be at least 300 or 400 years old just to be able to GET here. Aliens from the other side of the Milky Way would need to live for 10,000 years to arrive on Earth.

B2;
But, they have FTL! They can go all Star Trek(tm) on us and be here fast!

DISproof-

Why aren't we seeing energy traces, radiation, or any output at all anywhere in the galaxy like that? It'd be pretty d*mn glaring, because intergalactic objects can only travel in straight lines. The first thing to take a corner or do a course adjustment would get the entire 10-million-strong Astronomy group's attention in a heartbeat. And, NOTHING in space is shown to travel anywhere near that fast.

B3;
But, they can travel interdimensional! You can't see 'em!

DISproof-
We'd still see them blinking in and out of existence when they get where they're going. And, frankly, it takes more energy to hide than to not-hide. They wouldn't always hide if they aren't fighting.

B4;
But...

DISproof-
No, we're only talking about ALIENS visiting EARTH. We'd see activity around our own darn planet. There may be silent-FTL ships out there happily dashing between the M-31 nebula and Omicron Eridani, but we'd never see it, and if they aren't coming here it doesn't matter.

C;
Aliens visited Earth in the past, but aren't now.

DISproof-

No, there's no evidence of any sort indicating this. It'd be impossible to keep it a secret if there were. How do you control a technology you don't understand? How do you keep everyone from talking about it, and why would you? Most religious zealots would seize upon it as evidence of divinity, to say the least. We can't assume a LACK of evidence is PROOF. It is only DISproof.

D;
Aliens have always run the world, and we are they. We've forgotten or devolved. We aren't invited to the Clambake.

DISproof-
What? There's no evidence of this or anything like this. Not even remotely close. Our DNA closely matches much of the life that's evolved on this planet and there is no record of any sudden bursts of newly coded life in the geological, archeological, or written record. If we were a seed colony, how would we know? Would we even be aliens? No. This is a circular argument to say the least.
