I'd choose UFO/Alien I was seriously hoping that when those rovers landed on Mars they would film some kind of creature, even if it was an amoeba. It is statistically impossible that we are the only intelligent life in the universe, even as we know it. I'd love confirmation that is true no, you haven't told me about your vision. please do! oh i'd hoped that for the Mars rovers, too! did you see those Martian photographs (i only saw them just recently, but apparantly they'd been circulating for awhile) of what appeared to be a figure sitting on a Martian rock? of course, the figure itself turned out to only be a rock, though ive read other places some people debating the idea that it could be a statue. [Edited 2/14/08 12:36pm] I searched for that sucker but couldn't find it on the net! Cool! Now mars has 2 emigmas. The rockface and rockbigfoot. Here is my Loch Ness story: Once in LA by myself I was waiting for a beer and a guy started chatting with me and found out I was there alone and invited me over to hang with some of his friends. They were airline stewards/stewardesses from England on a layover. So we are in a group conversation and I can hear everything that is being said. We were talking for less than 10 minutes when I had deja vu.....but in such a hard way that it actuall made me dizzy. So as I was watching this deja vu unfold, I had a literal vision of the loch ness monster. The vision was so strong that it was literally the only thing I could see. I lost all vision of the scene around me. All of a sudden I feel a hand on my arm and I am jolted out of the vision and the guy who invited me over asked if I was OK. I said that I was and that I was having deja vu. He asked again if I was OK, saying I didn't look right and I told him not to worry, it was just the deja vu and then I told him...I usually don't tell people the details because they always think I'm crazy (and normally I wouldn't even share) but I along with the deja vu I also had a vision of the loch ness monster. Now I know.... I was going to complete that sentence as "Now I know that makes no sense whatsoever" and before I could finish the sentence one of his friends started yelling "oh my god!

Cause then it would at the very least, reform most of the world's most oppressive religions, and at the most hopeful, render them irrelevant. i certainly agree that the majority of the world's religions need shaking up and great reform and i'd hope for that outcome, but i disagree that absolute proof of extraterrestrial life could, would, or even should ultimately render any religion(s) irrelevent. do you consider religion in general to be of little value? I'm a buddhist. So no, I don't. But when women, homosexuals, and non believers are subject to punishment, ridicule, and discrimination because they don't conform to some belief structure born out of the muddy banks of the Mesopotamia, etc. etc., there comes a point where secularism must be adhered to. I hate the mixing of religion and government. I absolutely hate it. It's like governmental school boards getting involved in the whole 'Intelligent Design' vs. Evolution debate. Why is there even debate? One is a philosophical psuedo-science based on conjecture, and the other is a scientific theory , the foundations upon which biology is based. One belongs in a philosophy class--not med school. What's Cesar's is Cesar's and what's Jesus's is Jesus's. It's time Jesus kept his birkenstocks out of private lives unless personally invited if you ask me. That applies to Buddha too. | |

Any. Common sense tells me
Bigfoot/Yeti/Skunkape/whatever- Real. Too many sightings worldwide, by too many people to be false. Aliens- Real. How can we be the only life in the universe? Ghosts- I don't know. I'm torn about it. Nessie- No. Could there be creatures in the depths of the ocean, yet to be discovered, Sure. In Loch Ness though? No. Maybe we can go to the movies and cry together | |

ghost.
it would answer some fundamental questions about God, spirituality, religion and just faith and the unseen in general. it would raise more questions, obviously, but it would at least be proof that there is something going on behind the scenes. the rest of them are scientifically explainable.

1. bigfoot 2. the Loch Ness monster 3. a UFO and/or an alien being 4. a ghost i would choose to see a UFO because bigfoot is so '70s, the Loch Ness monster is the Vanilla Ice of the paranormal world (probably interesting to see in the flesh, but mostly nobody really cares or thinks of it and so having proof of its existence would carry only limited value), and procuring evidence of things ghostly has just become far too trendy! also i like lots of flashing, blinking lights and things with big eyes, not to mention the added bonus that, for the rest of my life, i could blame all strange behaviours and actions i exhibit on the 'implant in my head'. NONE. Those things don't exist and that's the way it needs to stay. With the exception of the 1st two: 1. Bigfoot is up North somewhere 2. Lochness monster is in some pond in England or where ever. Why look for trouble? | |

Hard scientific evidence or didn't happen I agree totally, but just by logic, I find it hard to be totally FICTION because pretty every culture/region of the world has a story about it/them. In Florida, we call it skunkape because they smell like sulfur/rotten eggs. Which, in my personal theory, is because water here in Florida is rich in sulfer and the skunkape bathes in the sulfur-rich waters. I also believe in a lot of the other cryptids/mythological beasts like blue tigers, Beast of GĂ©vaudan, Queensland Tiger, etc. Maybe we can go to the movies and cry together | |
