Space aliens here.

[MMC]

And? **** me! What is your point?

Do you remember where you jumped in and what I had asked.....Why didn't their religion become the dominating religion with any others? Why didn't others listen to what they had to say about what they called the Gods, who had came down from the Sky.

They were teaching others everything they knew.

 

[NWO_Spook]

Because the development of religion is an evolutionary process, some of the Sumerian culture was integrated with the Babylonian, and hence, integration into the Israelite foundation myths. What is the relevance?

Why didn't others listen to what they had to say about what they called the Gods, who had came down from the Sky.

How would conjecture on that point resolve anything?

They were teaching others everything they knew.

No, they were teaching others what they believed. How is this relevant?

No, try again......they also taught others about laws, rights, how they made things and to war etc etc.

Being the super power of that time. Think about it. They should have been imprinted upon any others around them. Imprinted, influenced, not to mention those under their control and being forced to live a life with them, integrated and or assimilated.

Which as most know the Sumerians stated mankind was made to be a slave race for the Gods that had come down from the sky. Also at that time Religion is a dominating principle with most peoples lives.

Yet their religion didn't dominate over all others.

 

[doniston]

Nor I. I think he means that man couldn't develop writing without alien intervention, but he is not making his point clear.

If you had paid attention you would have known what I meant. I manswered two question. TO WIT the two questions were , who cares? and what difference does it make.

I don't care, and it makes no differnce to me.

all you had to do is read.

 

[NWO_Spook]

Yes, and cultural aspects were assimilated in later regional cultures.

Yes, it was, and I haven't disagreed with that. Sumerian culture influenced all of the Semitic regional religions (except Zoroastrianism). It even filtered through to the Israelite foundation mythology.

Babylonian culture assimilated some of Sumerian pantheon. How is the fact that the Sumerian pantheon didn't become universally dominant significant?

I did, but as you didn't qualify your statement, ambiguity was inevitable, especially considering the point I responded to. You chose to answer it in an unqualified context other than my point, so the ambiguity lies with your failure to express yourself by providing context (qualification). Why the hostility? Or were you just trolling for kicks?

I'm pretty sure that the answer isn't aliens.

 

[zyzygy]

m Well, you are stuck with your opinion, I will stick with mine.

You contradicted him!

 

[NWO_Spook]

I'm pretty sure that the answer isn't aliens.

So am I. It seems many are taking leaps of logic in their zeal to prove a belief system. Personally, I feel that this sort of thinking denigrates the achievements of our predecessors.

It does. I cannot believe that mankind was too stupid to invent writing.

 

[MAGAnificent]

Anyone believe in space aliens on earth? Now? before? I DO, in all three cases.

:aliens1:

 

[NWO_Spook]

No, I don't either, that is just a silly idea. As soon as trade between city states began, the need for a system of notation for accounting became apparent. Most of the extent Sumerian cuneiform tablets are accounting ledgers.

And the question of who taught the aliens to write has not yet been addressed. Could it be aliens all the way down? I hesitate to say that god taught the first aliens to write, for fear that a believer will take it seriously.

 

[zyzygy]

Let's say that aliens taught mankind to write. The aliens would have invented writing. What is it about living on Earth that prevented mankind from inventing writing?

I wonder if Aliens introduced Herpes?

 

[zyzygy]

Herpes, the Greek god of STDs.

 

[NWO_Spook]

Herpes, the Greek god of STDs.

Indeed! LOL he partied with Dionysus, and Don slipped him a tranquiliser, and the rest is Mythology!

"HA'WOO'DAR"
Let the force be with you.

All kidding aside, I really wish I could meet one of them, no matter how ugly or disgusting we might think them, we likely would be just as ugly to them. But that wouldn't stop me from shaking their hand , flipper, foot, tentricle, whatever. If any of you know one of them, how about an introduction? They seem like likable fellas.

Yeah, I'd like to meet one too, but they can leave their anal probe unit on the ship.

 

[doniston]

What with all he reports, I imagine some of these atrocities have occurred,

but I try to consider what it we might have done to them if the shoe were on the other foot,

would we be experimenting with them?

I don't think our track record has been so great with lower species,and even with our fellow humans.

 

[Jango]

That's from the 18th Century. There are more like it, older ones too.

 

[Jango]

Yeah, I'd like to meet one too, but they can leave their anal probe unit on the ship.

Presumably after you've learned that "they come in peace," right?

 

[Jango]

It does. I cannot believe that mankind was too stupid to invent writing.

At one point on or down our chain, we were too stupid to start a fire or have wheels or preserve meats or play video games or put a man on the moon and a robot on Mars or create the Internet.

Just as a child won't know writing unless taught, there came a time when there were no people who could write. Was it a sudden epiphany on the first person that wrote something or was it something that he or she was shown or saw? Obviously, you or I cannot accurately answer that question. But it is interesting nonetheless.

If aliens taught us to write then who taught the aliens to write?

Just in case anyone is interested in the more prosaic explanations.
