| Everyone on Earth has their own perspective, and if its like that on Earth, imagine the confusion as planets, get to the point they discover each other and begin to interact. Do you think we will see Martians all alike, or they see us as all alike????If they miss the nuances that make us individuls, its possible we may do the same to them, ie; lumping all christians into the same mold? Or all muslims? What a slippery slope when you don't have all the facts or a complete picture. |

However I believe the Bible about spirits(angels-good & bad) in the heavenlies. And God being the cause & effect of the outcome (or influence ) they have on us-especially through our own prayers.
Otherwise, I think there may only be primitive lifeforms on other galaxies or worlds. There are too many light years to reach us on earth- so only if they have some supersonic spacecraft do I think we will see them in our lifetime on earth.
The 2nd question's answer depends on the 1st. We know that God sent His Son to this earth as a man to die for all mankind's sins. So if there were to be other worlds in the universe with human habitation there, then their world would be like ours- with 2 kinds of sinners. Redeemed or not redeemed. |

| Open your mind to possibility. There is more truth than ancient mans perspective. |

| Jackson, surely sometime in your life, you haven't felt very happy, maybe even slightly depressed. Do you think it's true to say that while you're in that kind of mood, the colors of the world are dulled, everything seems closed in and everyone is looking at you.
And sometimes in your life, you just feel so happy, everytrhing is vibrant and colorful and you dont have a care in the world, and every leaf on that pinetree was made somehow from a tiny seed. The world is beautiful.
I certainly feel a difference in my reality when I have different moods. I can't imagine how different each species on this planet sees it. |

The issue is truth vs. fiction. Regardless of how you "feel" the truth doesn't change. I have three blue spruce trees outside my window. Very similar to pines only their needles are shorter and there is a bluish tint to the tree. When I'm feeling sad and bluish, my three little blue spruces are three little blue spruces. When I'm feeling happy and perky, my three little blue spruces are three little blue spruces. When I'm feeling angry and ferocious, my three little blue spruces are three little blue spruces; when I'm hungry and my stomach is growling, my three little blue spruces are three little blue spruces; when I'm feeling romantic and sexy, my three little blue spruces are three little blue spruces; when I'm feeling like Humpdy Dumpdy, my three little blue spruces are three little blue spruces.
You say you "can't imagine how different each species on this planet see it." With your imagination I'm sure you will come up with something. |

| My point is that our feelings are the only truth we know. I don't know how you can think that feelings don't come into it.
How do you know you are reading what i'm typing now? Your eyes sense some difference in the signal they are getting from that part of the retina from the signal they are getting from other parts of the retina, your brain interprets these differences accordingly, letting you see text on the screen. Your brain is affected by your feelings, your reality is what your eyes sense, modified by how your brain thinks it should be modified. Feelings do shape the world.
Would it be fair to say that when you're happy you love looking at your three blue spruce trees, but when you're depressed you couldnt give a about your little spruce trees. In each of these moods the spruce trees are completely different to you. The only things that we know about this world are things that our brains have processed. You're trying to seperate the reality of the world from the interpretation of the mind, and you just can't do that. |
