Recent studies say that roughly 50% of the world believe in the existence of extraterrestrials. I am always, genuinely, curious about the actual statistics of it.
My true curiosity is not only whether you believe in them or not, but, if you do, what do you think their purpose is? Are they here to conduct experiments on us? Are they planning an invasion? Maybe we're just some type of science experiment to them? The possibilities are really endless, but, I have a fascination with opinions about them.
I know movies always seem to depict the darker, more nefarious, outcomes. I just can't wrap my brain around the idea that they would come here for war or pillage our natural resources. It seems to me that we would be nothing more than the equivalent of an anthill to them and they would easily defeat us in war. As far as natural resources there seems to be an abundance of those same resources all over the known universe. Why take ours?
What would be the scientific or religious repercussions to find out that they DO exist?
What do you think?
