The monolith is on your money:
If an alien species came to earth, and they had advanced technology, wouldn't that look like magic? Or maybe an act of God?
1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
If we listen to the Bible, which is not a religious text but an irrational interpretation of such a visit, Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a Virgin.
If we assume that just like in other areas, native people's had myths that turned out to be observations made without the knowledge to rationalize them, why wouldn't the same be true for this kind of thing?
If we assume they saw 100% what's in this tiny tidbit, we must assume the following is true:
1. Parthenogensis, something that's simply not possible with a mother who is XX and child who is XY
2. An act of God, or magic
Today, we know that it is not impossible for a woman to have a baby while still being a virgin. It's called artificial insemination. If we ourselves were to travel back in time, and take the necessary samples from Joseph and inseminate them into Mary, we would probably be considered Gods ourselves. To create a human being without the act known to be prerequisite to such a thing? Out of all things in this world, that would have seemed just amazing to them.
So, either we are Gods ourselves, or the people in that time had an irrational explanation for what they saw, based upon incomplete information. A while back, maybe a year or so, this research team claimed to have found the tomb of Jesus. It had an ossuary, which I guess is like some kind of weird coffin, which said "Jesus Son of Joseph."
On the tomb, it had this symbol:
It looks pretty interesting to me. Looks kind of like the eye of providence.
God, at least the one talked about in the Bible, is just an alien race.
Either we are Gods, a totally irrational thing to say, or we have been visited by ETs which is now more rational to say. It's now only a little into the impossible, because we'd have to be Gods if it weren't.
If this sounds irrational to you, then you are not ready to hear it, and your brain is throwing up an error like a computer does. It's probably for your own protection.
Star Trek, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Wars, Dune, and Stargate were probably myths to help us understand this stuff.
