The biggest suggestion to me that the government knows about the existence of ETs is that they put money into listening for communication from ETs. It is interesting to me that spending cuts are affecting their interest in keeping this up, however. US telescope array seeking alien life...

This sounds very interesting - especially since multiple people who would be 'in the know' are making the same claim. The first questions that pop into my head are, why would aliens want to come here? and if they pose no threat, what is the point in keeping this a secret? Especially if they...

I'm not sure how to take this. It sounds like a pleasant vision, though, but whether it originates from God remains hidden to me. My instinct says that it may be a distraction intended to divert you from the task of repentance and seeking out God. I don't say this to be harsh or critical, but...

These are interesting conclusions, but to me, they seem less likely than God actually being, well, God, and the Scriptures being written by those who were inspired by Him. If you are talking Christianity, there's 2000 years of recorded experiences that back up the claims of believers. I would...

How did you reach that conclusion?

I don't put too much stock in NDEs. The ones that I have read seem to contradict each other, so, while I believe most people aren't lying about what they experienced, I don't see the experiences as objective reality as it doesn't get beyond the individual's mind. I really think it seems to...

This is a very strange conclusion you have reached given the current data. First of all, it is a fallacy to say that because there is no God, there is no Satan. The truth of the first statement does not prove the second. You further destroy this argument by later suggesting the Nephilim are...

This really, really, really sounds like an encounter with a demon. Convulsions and a rising fever would not be inconsistent if you are sick by any means. I more often encounter them in my dreams than in waking. Demons can come with certain smells (normally unpleasant) that leave when they...

I have to admit that I haven't been here in a while, but after reading these posts, I am intrigued. Not sure why I came back today. I do know that the government doesn't tell us everything - I saw a huge object fall from the sky in a ball of fire in 2009 or there-about that as far as I read in...

This sounds like a better balanced view than what I held. Things are seldom as black and white as I made it out to be in my OP. I do have a bias towards my religious beliefs, but, well, we all have biases and that's the point of sharing our ideas and experiences with each other to arrive at...

I disagree. I've looked a little at M-Theory, and it looks to me like most of what it does is tie a lot of the principals currently used in Physics as a special case with a general case... sort of like Newtonian Physics is a special case of Einstein's General Relativity.

I wouldn't have posted here a year ago, but since my recent research on UFO's, particularly pertaining to the so-called 'Foo Fighters' (not to be confused with the rock band), and reading a few books by some people who are more spiritually minded that I, I have changed my attitude of skepticism...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlequin-type_ichthyosis This is actually a disorder of the skin (though rare). There are several healthy survivors of this condition alive today. One such survivor is mentioned in the above wikipedia article. As this survivor is not known to be physiologically...
