Humans are the Rednecks of the Universe

There has rarely been a topic that I've felt so strongly about that I feel like I must "blog" about it, but lately, this one has really irked me. It's no secret to anyone that truly knows me, that not only do I believe that we are not alone in the universe, but I believe that we have/are being visited on a daily basis by extraterrestrial life forms. Hell, latest googling on my part opens up a whole new world to me on the fact that ET's may not only be visiting our planet, but they are living among us and were here way before we ever were. Do I have proof? Absolutely not. Does the idea intrigue me? Absolutely. I refuse to believe we live in this vast universe and are the only life forms that populate it. I also refuse to close my mind to the fact that ET's could have played a huge roll in not only our history (building of the pyramids, the disappearance of the Mayans), but possibly in our creation and evolution. I'm not talking "Church of Scientology" stuff, I'm merely throwing out the idea that there could be the possibility that we may be the genetic experiment of another life form. In fact, I would put money on the fact that in my lifetime, ET's will not only make themselves known to the human race, but play a large part in our future. There could come a day where my child goes to school with a child of another planet. Yeah, put that in your head and shake it around a bit.

Ok, wait...let me back up. I could go on for hours on conspiracy theories, beliefs, proofs, etc. but that's not what my venting blog is about. My reason for blogging to the world is this headlineat:

First rocky planet found outside solar system
"But surface temperature is far too hot to sustain life, scientists say"

I'm sorry, what was that? "But surface temperature is far too hot to sustain life, scientists say". Ok. Here's where my major dispute lies. Scientists at NASA and other secret organizations on planet earth are looking for other life in our universe, but are they really? Actually, that's not the way they word it. If that was the way they word it, I would be fine with it....but it's not. Every scientist you talk to says they are out to find a planet that has or can sustain human-like life. Human-like life. Really? So what? If the life form isn't human-like, then it doesn't count? Let me explain. This brand new planet that was found apparently has a surface temperature of over 3,000 degrees. A 5th grader will agree that a human cannot live on a planet that has that kind of temperature, there's no disputing this fact. Here is where I'm going to blow some of your minds. This "telescope" or whatever device that found this planet took some readings and decided that the planet is just way too hot to sustain life so it's going to take a couple of pictures, send these postcards back to NASA and go on with it's adventure, but what if...just what if...there's actually life on this planet.

Stay with me now.

What if this planet has a life form that CAN sustain temperatures of 3,000 degrees. So it's not human obviously but since when did any of our research or any of our sci-fi imaginations for that matter, say that we're going to find another planet in our galaxy and it's going to have humans just like us and be an earth exactly like ours. I never once saw a Star Trek episode where they traveled to another planet and it was an exact version of earth where the humans of the planet are exactly like us. No. They were aliens that looked like lizards or those that fed off of soul energy, or even those yet still that were bionic. I'm not saying Star Trek is fact lol so I don't need comments in that sense, I'm just saying since when is life only human? I bet there's a race of ET's out there looking back at us and wondering how life can sustain itself on a planet with a global temperature of just over 70degrees. Can we not open our minds up to the fact that there could be a life form living on a planet that just might not be habitable by humans? That there could be a life-race that not only lives at 3,000 degrees but thrives in it with technologies we've never heard of, metals that don't melt, and brain power beyond what we ever thought possible etc.?

Humans as a species are so self absorbed, raised with such a theory of superiority, that we must be the top of the food chain, the "better than" species of life on earth, but we put ourselves up on this pedestal. No one died and made us king of the world, we took it by brutal force and killed off other species of animals and plant life in our progress. We went from a species that was taught to put into the earth as much as we take out of it, to a species that doesn't give a flying f*** and will take what's ours because we're so much superior to anything else on this planet in our high opinion of ourselves. We are so consumed with the thought that life out there can only be human like to be intellectual, can only happen under perfect conditions for the human form, that by now we might have literally passed up thousands of planets/stars/systems full of "life". Living beings that aren't of human form, that don't blog, that don't drive fancy cars, that don't breath oxygen, mate, can live at extreme degrees and atmospheres, or maybe even don't verbally speak. Why is it that we research a planet and put it in this box of credentials it must meet in order to have life? Scientists call themselves subjective and open to "all possibilities" but then they take a planet like this newly discovered one, put it up against a checklist of things "needed for HUMAN life" and when the planet doesn't meet these requirements, it's discarded and thrown away when an ET life race could actually live and thrive under those conditions. Sure it doesn't breath oxygen, sure it might not walk on two limbs, but why does that make it less alive, less worthy of being a life form, less intellectual.

How dare us as a species, as a race, assume that a being must be like us to be as smart as us or smarter. We are so closed minded and busy patting ourselves on the back for our intellectual accomplishments that we can't take a second to look around and notice that uh, maybe we aren't the highest species...or maybe that's what we're afraid of. Maybe it's the fact that our governments of the world don't want to find a species smarter than us, superior than us, because then we may just have to admit that we aren't the big dog any more, that we indeed could really be the dumb rednecks of the universe. (but governments hiding stuff is a whole other blog)


Humans are just too self absorbed and closed minded to find the other life forms in this universe. They're just going to have to find us.
