Aliens or Gods
When I had begun creating this research paper the question that was intriguing me was why did the human society in the last couple of hundreds years suddenly (relatively) changed the foundations of it's thought. This being evident in the way people started to interpret certain incidents, these being the appearance of Unidentified Flying Objects. Now whether these objects are really aliens, is a very good question, but I would have you believe that why is it that people have started to interpret these flying objects as aliens in the last sixty years or so is a more important one. Some people as the counter argument would have you believe though that these craft have only been around for the last couple of hundreds of years, but this being completely incorrect and they not even realizing it, is something that must be corrected. Actually these things have been in a different name here from the beginning of human civilization and have even perhaps begun it, as they were called gods. Notice that I am a true believer in aliens and not through faith but basically through the simple principle, that no matter how disturbing something is, if so many people believe in it and not gaining anything from that belief, it must be true. Yet this is
1 T. Huxley, cited in N. Macbeth, Darwin Retried, p. 141. The divine creation, as accounted in the Bible is illogical, yet it does have some amazing similarities with other more ancient, and less edited, texts which combined can give a bit clearer picture of what is it that occurred there. Yet the first and perhaps most important hint lies in the Bible itself: A phenomenon that goes hand in hand though with space exploration, and the above-discussed Space Race, is the conspiracy theory. This is the fact that the government of the US, and probably other countries as well, has been hiding it's knowledge of UFO's, and perhaps even conclusive proof of their existence. The purpose of this established during the space race, as in order to not create a general panic that might brake down the communications and give an edge to the evil communists in a nuclear attack. As well as the point that Russians at the time were working on saucer like flying machines and the US government knew it and would not allow a welcome-aliens parade to get out of hand with a Russian invasion. For this purpose the US government created a series of projects3 which were specifically designed to "debunk" the existence of UFO's no matter what. Of course this when found out by the population, gave rise to cries of anger towards the US government, which in turn made them look like fools. This is because, even if they had not had any evidence of any sort, the population had still assumed they do, and now would not believe them anyway. In my opinion the most important factor in governing the history of the people of earth are the conflicts between peoples and countries. These conflicts being what causes the creation of ethnic groups, nationalities and empires, and of course their destruction. Now, when I speak of conflict, I am not referring only to armed conflict, in which people are killed, and civilizations literally destroyed, but also to simple competition between people and countries that causes some kind of hate, fear and/or envy, basically healthy competition. Conflict therefore acts in human society, and therefore history, just like natural selection in nature. Advancing the technology of countries, as well as their culture. To prove this, one only has to look at the Space Race, between Russia and the US, and the impact it has created on the US specifically and the world in general. In the beginning of the Space Race, The countries of the world were still disheveled because of World War II, which is too long a story to describe, Communism was a threat in the States which the US government wasn't afraid to surgically remove, or at least they said. And remove they did anyone they didn't like, creating scenes that might have been taken straight out of the Inquisition "trials" during the dark ages. Then the US, having acquired the German rocket scientists, decided to take a step out of earth and prove the supremacy of Democracy over the Communist regime, surprised to see that Russia, having acquired all the German technical plans on rocket design, has set the same goal. Several years later, a man is walking on the moon while saying hello to the people at home, when several years before, space was for the average citizen just sci-fi. Only several years later, satellites are making communication, not to mention entertainment, available all over the world. And all this happened because of little unfriendly competition. Now is the right time to mention that more people fought and died and were slaughtered because of religion, than all the other reasons combined. It is a sad thought really, but none the less it gives promise of a better future.
