Scientists and Governments Still Pushing Alien Invasion Threat

In scientific and governmental circles, aliens seem to be a hot topic.

Former director of the SETI Institute Jill Tarter has stated in a press release that “if aliens were able to visit Earth that would mean they would have technological capabilities sophisticated enough not to need slaves, food, or other planets. If aliens were to come here it would be simply to explore.”

Tarter is resigning from her position at SETI to focus on funding for the institute. She believes that SETI’s continuation is an investment in humanity’s future.

On the subject of aliens, Tarter remarks: “Considering the age of the universe, we probably wouldn’t be their first extraterrestrial encounter, either.

We should look at movies like ‘Men in Black III,’ ‘Prometheus’ and ‘Battleship’ as great entertainment and metaphors for our own fears, but we should not consider them harbingers of alien visitation.”

Other scientists are also commenting on the possibility of aliens.

Dr. Ronald Breslow, Ph.D., an American chemist working with NASA Kempler project, has recently suggested that if life were based on slightly different amino acids and sugars, then there would be dinosaur-like humanoids with our same level of intelligence and technologies out there in the universe.

Breslow asserts that dinosaurs would probably have evolved to become highly intelligent warriors armed with technology that would far surpass ours and weaponry that could leave no doubt over who was ruler of the universe.

Yet, their hunger for fresh meat would not be abated.

Governments and international bodies are also publicly showing alarm for the prospect of alien contact by preparing for it.

On Easter Sunday, the Pentagon’s spokesperson, Professor Paul Springer, suggested that an alien attack could be eminent and that the US military was discussing a plan of action if the supposition were to become a reality.

This alien invasion threat, whether real or not, is a creation of a super-crisis that could far surpass any fear the nameless, faceless war on terror was capable of.

Pushing the imaginary alien threat are the Keynesian economist Paul Krugman and the renowned physicist Michio Kaku.

Kaku states that global governance is imperative to fend off such a threat as aliens.

Krugman claims that the essence of an alien invasion would bolster the economy and provide employment opportunities that could completely turn this failing economy around for the better.

Scientists for the Royal Society published papers referencing all aspects of alien existence, surmising that this issue must be addressed as a serious possibility within scientific and governmental circles.

Simon Conway Morris, a professor of evolutionary palaeobiology at Cambridge University, asserts that aliens would be hostile and preparations should be focused on this probability. Morris clarifies that alien life would have “similar biological molecules” to humans and extra-terrestrials may have our “tendencies toward violence and exploitation”.

Even theologians have joined the spread of this new “threat” we all need to fear.

Ted Peters, professor of systematic theology at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in California supposes that alien contact would drastically affect the world’s religions, possibly creating a collapse of “conventional wisdom”.

Peters asks:

1. Will confirmation of extra-terrestrial intelligence (ETI) cause terrestrial religion to collapse?
2. What is the scope of God’s creation?
3. What can we expect regarding the moral character of ETI?
4. Is one earthly incarnation in Jesus Christ enough for the entire cosmos, or should we expect multiple incarnations on multiple planets?
5. Will contact with more advanced ETI diminish human dignity?

He goes on say that the Bible supports aliens as part of God’s creation and “will be seen as the gift of a loving and gracious God”.

The UN has had the prospect of alien invasion in mind since the creation of their Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (CPUOS) in 1959.

Professor John Zarnecki of the Open University and Dr. Martin Dominik of the University of St Andrews say that societal uprisings could be avoided if there is global cooperation in forming an international political body to oversee the communications between humans and aliens. They both agree that the UN’s CPUOS will be that facilitator.

The dialectic has begun.

• The Problem: The possibility that an alien invasion could be imminent.
• The Reaction: Fear from the public where they look to their governments to unite to defend them.
• The Solution: One World Government
