Default Re: Does Life Exist

Why would aliens attack us, what would they want? Information is one thing that would be valuable.
If the whole population on earth could be killed off without destroying the structires, computers, libraries etc, it would be a wealth of information.
New ideas and viewpoints, different ways to do the same thing, could be profitable but would require a huge investment, propably to big to be worthwhile, but what do I know of alien psychlogy?
Perhaps we would be considered devils, an abomination against their god and that we must be destroyed. Or a potential future threat if left alone?

Still, I for one belive that any possible alines would not be hostile, but I'll most likely ever know as there isn't even a slim chance that such a contact will be established in my lifetime, if there is intelligent life out there.

So what about the future?
I belive that one day there will be many different species out there, widely different in abilities and look, but all derived from human stock, geneticly altered by either man or nature to fit into different conditions, perhaps small alterations at first, better oxygnetaing blood platelets? But eventually accelerating, good or bad? For me it seems like a bad idea but then I'm not living in that time am I?
