Is there life outside planet earth?
This issue may be of no interest to Egyptians, as it is common that people here believe that it is against our beliefs and religion. Actually, it is one of the hundred things that we take for granted.
But simply if we knew that there are millions of billions of stars out there in the universe, millions of which are just like our sun, and thousands of which has planets like earth., Why isn't it possible then to accept the possibility of life in one of these planets. In July 2008, scientist already discovered water in the soil of mars (wa khalakna men al ma2 kol shay2en 7ayy).
Don't tell me religion, because God said in Quran that He has created what we know and what we don't know about, and there is no verse in the whole Quran that is assertive about we are the only ones in the universe.
May be the only two extra terrestrial life examples that scientist haven't discovered yet is the "3ashwa2eyat" & "government palaces" in Egypt because both of them are definitely not living on earth!
We are not the only creatures in the universe :)
ReplyDeleteThe same way we are not the only creatures on earth.
Life could take many shapes and it isn't necessarily similar to the human's life.
I really can't understand why when life on other planets is mentioned everyone assumes it is a human like life. Life wasn't an exclusive right for Adam :)
and they dont have to have eyes faces ears as we do! we are so eccentric!
ReplyDeletei always believe that there r other creatures on other planets and lack of oxgen does not mean that there is no life, may be Allah created them to breath Carbon dioxide, Allah a3lam
ReplyDeleteInteresting comment Omar. I wonder what would we see, hear, and feel if we were not bounded by our human limitations.
ReplyDeleteIt is all about the brain ya Mona... hearing, seeing,..etc are just tools to help our brain to better communicate, but everything is up there, the feeling, the emotions, the thinking, the experience, everything...
ReplyDeletewe just lost our abilities over time and advancement of technology.
Primitive tribes and those monks on Tibet have super powers compared to us. They can move their ears, they can do sort of telepathy, they can communicate better with the universe.
yes ya Mona & Shaimaa, I hate that people always think that aliens have to be human like!
ReplyDeleteand nice analysis ya Mo.
I like the last part about the government palaces, they are actually living in a parallel world.
ReplyDeleteI have noticed a new reader with some good comments but she disappeared. Where are you Elham?
Mohaly, Yes, I guess some humans are able to transcend the "average human" limitations and are able to access different dimensions of existence - my Qigong teacher is one of them - the guy can actually see the Qi and move it around with ease. I guess it takes good powerful intentions and alot practice to be able to do so.
ReplyDeleteeih da, howa E.T. ya3nee Extra Terrestial?
ReplyDeleteof course, what did you think E.T stand for?!
ReplyDeleteI've always told myself that ... and asked others about this issue... The answer that I got was " I don't think so" ...
ReplyDeleteI mean seriously... why should we be the only human beings ?
