Same with Minerals For That Matter / ET life

[Guest guest]

Not sure i understand your ET comment; you seem to dismiss the idea of

ET life and tie it to the idea of difference in medical exams. So a

slightly off-topic comment if I may.

 

Having observed UFO's years ago beyond the shadow of doubt, in

manuevers vastly beyond the most advanced terrestrial craft, I have

rather less doubt than you extraterrestrials are real. Interestingly,

one piece of lit on the subject I've read since claimed one of the

most interesting things to them about us is our exceptional degree of

internal diversity.

 

One of the many things that fascinated me from that particular

narrative, by the way, was the account that the ET's in question are

vegetarian, AND extremely skilled at food synthesis, basically capable

of duplicating anything we have from their own basic plant matter.

 

Not that we human beings are terribly rational and would necessarily

handle it well, but crossing my own fingers for open contact sooner

rather than later anyway :-D
