Full Version: Human-Like Aliens? So many questions if they
Unexplained Mysteries Discussion Forums > Unexplained Mysteries > Extraterrestrial Life & The UFO Phenomenon
ambelamba
First, I'll say my usual mantra. Aliens are flesh and blood beings, not pure spirits. (except for some pure energy beings.)

I've heard about human-like and near human like aliens so many times. Let's not count alleged alien-human hybrids. They are foul abominations that should be exterminated.

If at least half of those reports are true, I can't help asking this question again: Is the galaxy heavily populated by human-like aliens? If that's the case, we can have two radically different assumptions. One, evolution works in only a certain way. The process of evolution is uniform and universal. I don't think this is a good answer. Evolution can't work that way. It's kinda like playing a cosmic dice.

Or, we have the second assumption. There is a creator god who worked his magic at least in this galaxy. He's kinda lazy so he worked on a few working designs and tweaked them with minor variations. To have same kind of design, the environments should be similar, even the spinning cycle (sorry for my poor vocabulary. I am a Korean for Pete's sake) of the planets should be similar. Scientists tell us that our Sun-like stars are common in this galaxy.

Some people told me that this doesn't mean anything. Idiots. If that's true then we have a profound revelation: We are not special anymore. People like us are dime in a dozen in this galaxy. If we get wiped out, there are plenty of folks in this galaxy to replace us.

If there are aliens species that are similar to us, what are they like? Some of them might be definitely more advanced than us. There may be some races who are still in their stone age. What are they like? How is their thinking process? How's their life style? How's their social structure? Do they have democracy or something better or worse? Do they have market economy? (Well, not a single alien encounter tells about how aliens think about economics...) How's their education system? Did they shed off tribalism? Or are they merciless expansionists? How do different alien races communicate each other and solve the conflicts of interests?

Do they raise family like us? Or is our concept of family an ancient concept to them? Do they sleep with everyone like the novel Brave New World? Or are they mostly monogamous like us? How do they raise children? Do they use natural insemination or do they simply churn out full-grown adults from a factory? You know, the questions are endless.

"I've heard about human-like and near human like aliens so many times. Let's not count alleged alien-human hybrids. They are foul abominations that should be exterminated."

...uh not for nothing, and as usual ima go out on an imaginary limb and ask, " did ya ever consider that the human race was or more corrected stated is a hybrid race created in a similar fashion?" Ya know given your current feelings toward supposed said hybrids....kinda like shooting your self in the foot.

Just wondering, you mention alleged alien-human hybrids, and then say they "are foul abominations that should be wiped out"?

Anyway, the idea that humans, or similar, may have evolved/been created/whatever all over the universe where conditions are right, is one that's occurred to me from time to time. I think, rather than being depressed that it would mean we're not "special" any more, wouldn't it mean that we are, in fact, as we're members of a universe-wide (perhaps) species? That seems rather reassuring to me, somehow. hypothetically, of course. And maybe it would prove the philosophers right as well, if, somewhere on various planets, there is somewhere that all the various utopias and political ideas actually work. Even if we may not have made them work, maybe there's somewhere that has.

So maybe there's somewhere that all the questions you've raised apply.

That's what i like about this whole notion, it seems to offer endless possibilites, once you get away from the notion that "they"'re all evil, and will want to wipe us out the moment they meet us.

I believe in ET life. However i think that if and when we ever discover said lifeforms they will be radically different from humans and perhaps even any creatures that we are familiar with here on earth. Im no expert but id wager that the chances of other 'human' lifeforms naturally ocurring through evolution would be so remote to be deemed compleately infeasible, and the notion of a lazy (and therefore imperfect) god, well...

indeed... so it might perhaps be proof for the existence of God (and i don't see why this would necessarily make him/her/it/they lazy) ... and that would be worth it, just for the number of people it would annoy ...

If there are lots of humanoid aliens thaen either

1. They are evolved humans from the future
2. There was once a humanoid race that travelled through the galaxies making hybrids with native creatures, and they all evolved looking humanoid

All life in the universe is created by people advanced enough to do so. There is no God who created life and evolution is a myth. The universe is infinite, so there is no beginning. There has been, and always will be, people creation other people.

So, who are our creators? They're the 'gods' of the religious texts, the ones who said 'Let us make man in our image after our likeness'. It's all in there, more or less, in primitive code of course.

If you want to know all about our creators, download (for free!) the book 'Intelligent Design - Message from the Designers' at www.rael.org
The head of these creators contacted a man named Rael in 1973 and gave him all of the information in the book. It details their conversation. It will answer all of your questions, but I'll try to answer yours for you.

The Elohim (this is what they were called by the Jewish people - it means 'those who came from the sky') have said that there are other races out there who are intelligent, but they didn't detail exactly what they look like.

The Elohim are completely human, just like us, except a little different. Look at my avatar - that's one of the Elohim talking to Rael. They are generally around 4 feet tall, have a yellow/green tinge to their skin and almond shaped eyes (they look very Japanese). There were original races on their planet like on ours (blacks, whites, chinese etc), however over thousands of years they have blended into one singular race...which is a mix of all of the races having children etc.

Yahweh, who was known as the 'god' of Israel, is the one who met with Rael to give him a new message for humanity (like they did with Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha and all the other prophets of the religions). He had very long black hair and a small black beard.

Now to answer your questions....

"If there are aliens species that are similar to us, what are they like? Some of them might be definitely more advanced than us."

The Elohim are completely human like us. The Elohim are 25,000 years ahead of us in science and technology.

"There may be some races who are still in their stone age."

Yep most likely there are millions of races out there at various steps in their history. I'm going to talk about the Elohim though.

"What are they like? How is their thinking process?"

They are graceful, gentle and beautiful people who are full of love, peace and humour. They laugh a lot! They play and joke and their thinking process is all about being happy and enjoying life.

"How's their life style?"

They don't work because technology takes care of all of the labourous tasks. They relax, play sport, make music, paint, dance, have 'car' races, other competitions etc. Everyone can express themselves however they want and do whatever they want, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.

"How's their social structure?"

The main population, of about 7 billion live on their original home planet where the lifestyle is exactly as I described to you. But there are a select group who are known as 'The Eternals', who live on another planet away from the population. These eternals have achieved great things in their lives and they have been given the reward of living forever through advanced cloning/memory transfer. Men and women are equal and children are respected and treated fairly and without patronisation.

"Do they have democracy or something better or worse?"

They have Geniocracy - where only the most intelligent of their humanity are able to be the leaders. They have advanced tests that can measure emotional intelligence, love, peace and raw intelligence (logic, thought processes etc). Only those who have IQ's 50% above the norm are allowed to run as a candidate in their elections. Only those who have intelligence 10% above the norm are allowed to vote. It's selective democracy. It's choosing the best person possible by have the most intelligent people voting for them. Wouldn't you want you bus driver to have a license instead of just any idiot being able to drive? Yes, well it's the same with their government. They only allow those people who have the best intentions for humanity to run their planet. It is a one world government too and Yahweh, the one who contacted Rael, is the President of the Council of the Eternals. He is the 'big boss' so to speak!

"Do they have market economy? (Well, not a single alien encounter tells about how aliens think about economics...)"

No. They have no money because science and technology provides EVERYTHING they need. They never run out of food because they can genetically grow as much as they want. Clothing can be made from a machine at will. Think of anything you want and you'll get it without the slightest effort - that's how good their technology is!

"How's their education system?"

It's called 'Chemical Education' where they 'download' lessons into the brains of people and in a split second they know all that they need to know. You've seen the Matrix and how they do this? It's like that.

"Did they shed off tribalism? Or are they merciless expansionists?"

They are completely peaceful and have no need to invade or take over. Science provides all that they need.

"Do they raise family like us? Or is our concept of family an ancient concept to them?"

They have kids exactly like we do and they reproduce exactly like we do. They do have families and relations, but perhaps not in the same sense as we do. The concept of family is ancient to them, because they see the whole humanity as their family. There is complete trust and no reason to fear another. No one family is better than another because everyone is equal.

"Do they sleep with everyone like the novel Brave New World? Or are they mostly monogamous like us?"

If they so choose they can have many partners or just one life partner if they want. They are mostly in open relationships because they have lost the concept of 'property' and 'jealousy'.

I really recommend downloading Rael's book for free at www.rael.org

It will answer all of your questions and more!

I don't see why humanoid aliens are so unlikely. After all, as far as I know, there is no such thing as cube shaped planets or stars. An intelligent physical Being must have some basic characteristics (prehensile digits, an upright walking ability, etc). Some things truly are universal.

I don't agree with Raelian belief. But they sound like fun folks to hang out with, except for growing beards and stuff. I feel bad about Raelians because there are so few of them. American would be a happier nation if at least 10 million people, especially young and beautiful ones, are Raelians. There would be massive orgies every weekend in every major cities. I would jump in with a lot of condoms and lube. wink2.gif

Oh, I have one more important question for everyone.

If there are aliens who are similar to us in both biology and appearance, how about their flora and fauna?

the Nordics have been reported by many people. Travis Walton was one, there are others (I think). The only possibility I haven't read in this thread is that maybe reported abductions and sexual experimentation is to breed hybrids to do their bidding. Maybe Nordic types are just to keep from scareing humans they may come into contact with. On the other hand, maybe they have manipulated our genetics with theirs in our past and that's why we could look like them but I doubt this because it would violate non-interference. My best guess would be engineered hybrids to do their bidding. It seems like I remember that Walton said he met Nordics first on the craft, followed by Greys and others. Others have reported half alien half human in sexual situations - the first reported abduction - in South America. MIB's are human-like. Yep, my guess would be engineered hybrids to assist their purposes - there's a common theme there.

There are all different kind of 'greys' in UFO lore. Walton's Greys don't fully fit into the conventional Greys in typical UFO abductions. Typically, Greys are methodical and relentless. Walton's Greys simply removed themselves from the room when Walton wielded some glass thingie during an adrenaline rush. In typical abduction situation, Walton could have rendered naked and have his semen extracted. That never happened.

Walton's Nordics are a rather strange case. They did not attempt to do any kind of communication with Walton. Walton said they all had some dull grins in their faces and did not say a word. Some contactees report that many Nordics are mute and can only communicate with telepathy. I don't necessarily believe those contactees but their explanations and the bahavior of Walton's Nordics somewhat match. No verbal communication.

I must say I'm impressed with the depth that people have thought this through, for something purely hypothetical.

Yea I've noticed that. People do seem reluctant to pose theories here because the flow seems to be: how do you know?, well there's no scientific proof now is there?, yes there is proof look at these testimonials of credible people, that's not scientific proof and then a disseration on what constitues scientific proof, etc., are you a "believer"?, you're gullible, yadayada. About all of this being entirely hypothetical, remember the SR-71 was entirely hypothetical to the public before it was unveiled, so was the B-2, and the 117 and the list goes on. However, to certain folks, these were science fact before the public was made aware. In fact, I will go out on a limb and say there was no accurate conjecture in open forums concerning these examples at the time they were entirely hytpothetical although they were later found to be real. Now take the UFO / ET scenario and there is a mountain of evidence, certainly enough to begin to begin to accept the hypothesis for discussions sake and then move to the next level of thought. For those looking for proof - you ain't gonna find it here. That only leaves taking one side or the other and moving to the next step. Well, other than yadayadayada which is an option.

Hey dude,

The growing beards isn't mandatory! wink2.gif We all do what we want with our bodies.

Don't feel bad that there aren't many of us....Rael's said that we know we're doing something wrong if everyone is jumping on board because the prophet is meant to disrupt the status quo - not appeal to it! The goal isn't to get members at all....but thanks for thinking of us! wink2.gif

No orgies, that's a media lie - but if people feel like doing that, then they're welcome!

...ain't to good with tight walking but ima go out on a limb here with my two cents. Obler's asked the ? why is space dark, I believe the concensus ans in astronomy is the light hasn't reached us yet; hence the universe can't be infinite, if im understanding this correctly. Maybe this has been said before but how about the reason space is dark is the same reason a room such as mine is well lit when the light is on, the degree of reflection. In space there's well SPACE and a lot of it with not much matter to reflect light making space appear dark. In my room alot of surface area to reflect light hence why when I turn on the light it is well lit. So in defense of infinity and josh (partially) I think this offers a logical alternative to olber's paradox.

I've heard about human-like and near human like aliens so many times. Let's not count alleged alien-human hybrids. They are foul abominations that should be exterminated.

If at least half of those reports are true, I can't help asking this question again: Is the galaxy heavily populated by human-like aliens? If that's the case, we can have two radically different assumptions. One, evolution works in only a certain way. The process of evolution is uniform and universal. I don't think this is a good answer. Evolution can't work that way. It's kinda like playing a cosmic dice.

Or, we have the second assumption. There is a creator god who worked his magic at least in this galaxy. He's kinda lazy so he worked on a few working designs and tweaked them with minor variations. To have same kind of design, the environments should be similar, even the spinning cycle (sorry for my poor vocabulary. I am a Korean for Pete's sake) of the planets should be similar. Scientists tell us that our Sun-like stars are common in this galaxy.

Some people told me that this doesn't mean anything. Idiots. If that's true then we have a profound revelation: We are not special anymore. People like us are dime in a dozen in this galaxy. If we get wiped out, there are plenty of folks in this galaxy to replace us.

If there are aliens species that are similar to us, what are they like? Some of them might be definitely more advanced than us. There may be some races who are still in their stone age. What are they like? How is their thinking process? How's their life style? How's their social structure? Do they have democracy or something better or worse? Do they have market economy? (Well, not a single alien encounter tells about how aliens think about economics...) How's their education system? Did they shed off tribalism? Or are they merciless expansionists? How do different alien races communicate each other and solve the conflicts of interests?

Do they raise family like us? Or is our concept of family an ancient concept to them? Do they sleep with everyone like the novel Brave New World? Or are they mostly monogamous like us? How do they raise children? Do they use natural insemination or do they simply churn out full-grown adults from a factory? You know, the questions are endless.

"I've heard about human-like and near human like aliens so many times. Let's not count alleged alien-human hybrids. They are foul abominations that should be exterminated."



ever think you might be one and maybe you need to think about that, kind of reminds me of some nut named hitler.. wacko.gif wacko.gif wacko.gif

I can gaurantee that human like aliens exist, in fact I have proof in the shape of Mrs GH!
Everything she says and does is a complete mystery to a mere terrestrial human such as myself and is obviously aimed at preparing for her species to populate the earth and enslave the human race! laugh.gif innocent.gif

If every race in the galaxy were all humanoid, or all nearly at least, would that mean that every planet in the galaxy that could support life would be more or less the same as Earth? Because if all the planets were different, presumably evolution would work differently on each so I can't imagine every race being the same basic shape. That doesn't mean I'm saying that there are green gazillion eyed tentacle-y creatures everywhere, I just think that if there are aliens that are far superior to us (and very differently formed anatomically), they probably wouldn't have any interest in us anyways.

...they periodically take horseshoe crabs milk them of blood and return them to the ocean because they have a simple but very effective immune system which we (scientist, not I) utilize, I gather to obviously help benefit man, their blood is blue, their shape is like a horse shoe and they are nothing like us, but that don't stop us from interacting with them...

the whynsos days in and days out...I guess that why they call it a sun room

There are many races of Alien, not all are carbon based.
