White Knight Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 [quote name='Varg' date='05 September 2009 - 08:31 AM' timestamp='1252153881' post='1961267'] Interesting points but how do you know that our reasoning isn't basic compared to aliens' reasoning? (if they exist ) (BTW White Knight, apparently you left a comment on my profile but for some reason I can't see my own profile) [/quote] Well like I said before lol, its only speculation, we dont have any cases to prove that Aliens reasoning is higher, because we dont know any aliens to begin with lol, much less if they exist, If I met one I'd ask myself What they believe on this matter, but I'm honestly answering "the I Dont Know" standard answer, lol. As for the cases for Human beings I believe its pretty solid, especially to say that we as a human race have always believed in something bigger than ourselves, especially when it comes to things seen or unseen.
