We could not be alone in this  universe. Life sprang up on earth, and many earths could be  made after that so called big bang that still expands, and the eons of time could  have evolutionized much advance civilization. The  martians are still evolving. 

 Our predecessors  are out   there. It  could not be  our  race but could be  an advance intergalactic race.  Of the billion galaxies, we could not be alone. If life strives here, so many twin earths could be  made with that  so called  big bang.  Take care...

I don't believe that time is a dimension.  I think that the only part of it that exists is the now, there is no past in a physical form, or any future for that matter.  I don't believe any sort of time travel will ever be achieved other than cryogenic sleep to put a person in stasis so they don't age during long space trips (think Aliens).

there is no God.....the true god is just your mind.  the awareness and the conciousness of the self. for one to realize they are part of the earth and the universe as matter and energy. Once you can understand that we are just a miniscule part of the convergence of atoms and electricity in the universe it all makes sence. we're just another organism that has grown and developed they way we have simply becuse we are bound by the laws of physics and we just wouldnt exist if we didnt have the earth and an atmosphere. People have lost sight of the true meaning of life. the true meaning is......We are not all that important......we are just another living organism that has developed an awareness of the self......unlike a bacterial organism or a rock. it doesnt question why it exists - it just simply does. . Because of this fact, we have learned to regard life as something precious as we have an understanding that something living has to come to an end on the concious level. we just exist on a ball in space, like anywhere else somewhere out there. if we were to dissapear, the universe would just consume all the matter and energy in order for an equilibrium in the universe. our life energy would be absorbed into the universe.

if you can travel through time then I would consider that you could only go back as far as the day that the time machine was invented. you cannot go back any further that that because time travel did not exist back then.

if you lived in the year 2295 and the machine was invented in 2100, then you can go back as far as the year 2100.

this is why you will never see someone appear in a time machine in our years now. the law of time does not allow you to go back any further that when sonething has been created.

Sounds more ufo than mothman. of all the accounts of mothman when seen from a vehicle there was no issues with static over the radio; this is more of the MO for ufo activity - static, car stalling, etc. Good luck :)

So I have to ask, if having the right ingredients in the right proportions in the right environment and getting a cake is how you see the universe being created, does that include a baker to put it all together?

A recent poll taken among the american populace showed that of the people who claimed they were religious, only 20% of them admitted that they had faith. This means 80% go to church out of habit or as a result of social or familial obligations, but not from any real belief.

In other words, kindly take your dying religion's diatribe and proseletyze elsewhere.

On a side note, who says the universe happened by accident? Prepare a cake mix, then pop it into an oven at the right temperature. Would you call the resulting cake an accident? Of course not, it was the inevitable result of the right ingredients in the right proportions in the right environment. Putting them together and not getting cake, now THAT would be strange and unlikely.

Yeah that's what I was thinking "Why is it going backwards?" O.O It's really hard trying to find stuff out around where it happened since it's pretty much just road but I've been asking around to pretty much anybody else I know who drives that route~ Thanks for the help! :D 

Route 33 East in Ohio

Most commonly the red lights associated with the Mothman are said to be eyeshine which you normally wouldn't see if it was flying in front of you (I doubt even the Mothman spends much time flying backward).  However, that does not mean it wasn't paranormal in nature.  There are several things it could have been from alien craft to will-o'-the-wips (both the supernatural ghostly versions and the burning swamp gas version).  I would suggestion doing some research into local lore.  See if there is any history of similar sightings, see if there are any swamps or marshes nearby, check for UFO sightings, and also check to see if there have been any disasters in the area seems that is the usual modus operandi of the Mothman. 

where did this happen exactly? state, town, road#..

I love this site.

I agree with everything you said about Christianity, but I think that it is unfair to include all religions in that lot.  I'm a Reverand in a Unitarian church and what I ask of people is to simply accept that corruption is everywhere.  That is why there are elements in so many religions that have the "do this or else" aspect to them.  They are ways for the leadership to control the little guy, but that doesn't make everything in the religion false or pointless.  I love how many Hindus believe that in their religion all religions are possible.  They believe that all of their gods are actually just different aspects of one Supreme Being and that all other religions are just other aspects of the same Supreme Being.  I personally believe that there is a Supreme Being, who does appear to different people in different aspects, and does have an afterlife for us that is dependant on how we behave during our life.  I do not believe that He/She is controlling everything at all times.  I think He/She has come to Earth in many different guises to set an example of how we are to live and how to treat others, but I don't think that is a mandate.  I think the most important thing is for every person to accept themselves and to listen to their conscience.

Egregore isn't a bad summation of the idea, but I believe the OP was speaking more along the lines of what the Tibetan's call 'tulpas'

I think god exists in the capacity of some sort of unseen or inexplicable controlling force.  Scientifically, a lot could be explained once we have a better understanding of things like Higgs bosons.  It is just a way to quantify something that is beyond our understanding.  I think it is stupid, as well as naive, to assume or have faith that some sort of sentient, omnipresent being exists and has control over everything.  It is more comforting to place that control in the hands of something we can relate to, or trust.  Religion (and spirituality) caters to people who are to scared to entertain the idea of an existence without some sort father-figure who is out there controlling everything.  I got in big trouble at vacation bible shchool as a kid because I'd ask questions like the OP.  I used to argue with the teachers about why some people would go to hell on technicalities.  I was dead-set that if you could be a moral and upright individual, and do everything except buy into the dogma of organized religion, and be punished and go to hell essentially on a technicality - then there was no point.  The decision is being made for you.  Christians are always touting free-will.  It isn't free-will if your only alternative is hellfire and damnation.  It is backwards logic and fear-mongering.  There is no room for free-will in any institution that promotes any kind of deity.

Sorry if I put this under the wrong category but here I go: 

It was about 1 am and I was coming back on a sunday after spending the weekend in a friend's dorm who goes to OU.  After three days of hanging out with her I was finally driving home.  

There's a pretty dark, wooded area I have to drive through to get back home.  All of a sudden it looked like a car had pulled out in front of me so I just followed behind it at about two semi's lengths.  I followed what I assumed to be tail lights for about a mile before we hit a hill where it looks like people just drop off the face of the earth until you're right on top of them again, so that's what I thought had happened until I saw the two red lights jump up into the treeline.  

It really could've just been a truck or another car but I really couldn't hear anything because I was listening to the radio pretty loudly to keep myself awake.  But once this thing jumped my radio got static-y.  

I really don't know, this whole experience could've been just me being extrememly exhausted ( I slept on the floor and ate all my meals out of vending machines and I think I really only got about 10 hours of sleep that entire weekend) , then the area I was approaching (horrible radio reception), and then a predisposition to look at every strange occurance as a paranormal one first.

All I know about this is now I'm afraid to drive on that stretch of road even in the daytime, it feels weird.  What do you guys think? 

I started reading this like "Okay this is pretty interesting" but ending with "If any one has a camping trailer that they would like to donate please let me know. My grand daughter and I need a place to live"  just makes this sound like a pathetic cry for charity or to try to trick people into giving this woman something. Then I read it again and it sounds like one of those scam e-mails that get you to send people money.  It also sounds like she got scammed by one of those said e-mails.   Finally, if she's truly homeless...how is she getting on the internet?  I would like THAT explained first of all. 

I don't think the planet is too small, I think that mankind has become too big.  It sounds silly I know, but I think that with all of our advances in medicine mankind has moved beyond the Earth's capability of population control.  Even in just the last century the number of infant deaths has dropped significantly.  Also, people are living longer lives.  This all just adds up to mean that the population of humanity is now climbing at an unbelievable rate.  I have to say that in my opinion Agent Smith in The Matrix was correct in calling humanity a cancer of the Earth.  We as a people are destroying the Earth and the root cause of it is that society as a whole has decided it is wrong to allow people to do the most natural thing in all the world, die.

I've thought something very similar to this idea in the past and I believe that it can explain why there seems to be such a wide range of mysterious things in this world.  If, as some believe, man was made in God's image and therefore we are creators that would certainly include the ability to create life through nothing more than imagination, willpower and belief.  Could demons and demonic possession be nothing more than the physical manifestations of an individuals fear?  Yes.  I also believe the idea of imagination made real can explain why there is always something more out there.  Some scientist discovers molecules and another says to himself, "there must be something smaller yet that they are built upon."  So he searches and searches believing he will find something until suddenly the technology to see atoms comes around and then POOF!  Atoms.  Then again with protons, neutrons and electrons.  Then quarks and quasars.  It works on the universal scale as well.  Perhaps the universe is infinite because our imagination is infinite, and the universe is expanding because it has to grow in order to incorporate all the worlds and races that we imagine here on Earth, and the beings on those worlds imagine things that come into being and so on and so forth.  Perhaps then the more people on this world who believe the world will end catastrophically in 2012 the more likely it is to happen because mankind is willing the event into existence.  I guess it's just something we all have to think about ;-)
