                        Have you read any of David Icke's books?  He presents some radical theories including terrestrials from a fourth dimension. Interesting reading even if it is all mythology.

      We'll probably never survive long enough to gain the knowledge to prove it one way or the other. Then too it depends on what you mean by alone? Does bacteria in the ice on the moon count as company?
      
      What's amazing to me is how many people the deny the existence of god have no problem in believing in para normal activity, ghosts and aliens from outer space!

      Hi Sooner:
      Gee, I dont know.
      What the heck is this god thing everyone mentions?
      Maybe if someone could define it, factually, for me, I might consider it. Can you?
      Others have tried but,gosh, all they offer is opinion and conjecture. I can't be bothered with "guess."
      So to answer your question, I can't. Don't know what you are talking about.
      Thanks for the interest tho. :-)

         the interest in a proper education usually starts with sarcasm or light joking because it is that in which you do not understand. I'm glad to see you take interest in something you don't understand but eventually joking about the unknown will limit your knowledge. Just ask when ready.

               Don't bait me sir. I've had my share of these 'going nowhere' conversations. I know there is nothing that I might say that will turn the switch on and it is likewise of me. "he who has an ear, let him hear" <--- there is plenty of evidence and/or information to sift through. Saddly, finding truth in all of the variations is hard, but we are in the prophetic time of confusion. The best to you really, but I won't go there anymore.

    we are not alone...the thing I find interesting is that people only think along the lines of this physical plane of existence...
    
    we are not alone in this plane, and, more so, in the other dimensions of existence.
    
    souls exist in other dimensions at other levels of consciousness and are interacting with us whether we know it, believe it or recognize it or not.
    
    it really is pretty silly to be so arrogant to think we are all that exists in this vast universe of universes
