Arg. Aliens and Catholicism. OhEmGee. :tub:
Two completely controversial topics, and both are unproven and highly argumentive on the "facts". I don;t even think that its even possible to link the two in any sort of argument to prove ones faith or guide it in any way, if thats what your trying to do. Im a Catholic too. Please don't try to mix in the two. And if your really worried about talking about aliens and how that might clash with you beeing a catholic you have more things going on for you to really be worrying about (insert picture of overzealous zealots from westbury baptist church)
But thats a different topic all together.
Anyways, on to some more fun stuff to talk about.
I <3 astrology and archeology and new stuff nasa throws out to the public. Im always checking out news that pops up on space exporation, and play with the blogs and posts and articles on stuff nasa releases when they do. Its fun and always a good read. Plus i have a big soft spot for a good conspiracy theory read.
Im going to give you a quick cliff notes about it since its 2AM, plus its more fun if you go do the research yourself =0)
I stumbled upon those new pictures of the mars man, face on mars ect. and started clicking through links and googling things that came up in the articles about them. And i remembered about something i heard about NASA saying they found a 10th planet, just about the same time someone tried to disprove pluto as a planet and stuff. Forgot the exact story, think it was in the early or mid 90's or something. might have been late 90's. Started googling for old news reports and came upon something called Planet X.
Planet X
Another Planet X link
Which, among some circles, is supposed to be the end of the world for us. Think some scientist in china started running the calculations on the original nasa findings ect on the planet and said sometime around 2012 this massive planet is supposed to enter our solar system. Alot of the interest in the planet was due to observations of pluto, discrepancies in the orbits on uranus and another planet in relation to the reported gravitational pull of pluto, and that pluto was too small to actually create that much of an impact on those planets beeing the size it is. And all this through recordings that have been taken since 1930 or something.
So, the discrepancies of the orbits of the planets started getting people thinking that there is something else past pluto that has a good enough gravitational pull that only comes around every 100-1000 (3600 year orbit i think) years or so. And this is where the planet X theory comes in and why people have been spending time trying to figure out more on a disproved planet by NASA. According to the guy in china who did all the math, the planet is supposed to come through our solar system close enough, and through calculations on how uranus and the other planet were affected the path is close enough to affect earths spin and orbit. And something about our earths rotation beeing stopped for a day or so, causing havoc and who knows what else.
Thats the quick story behind Planet X.
Now, coincidentally, planet X and the rough time on the end of the world were both sorta documented in one of the testaments, and supposedly what i read online was that someone made the link after the guy in china set the date that the numbers or whatever translation in one of the testaments actually points real close to the 2012 date.
Now, ontop of this one amazing story comes a complete side story linking planet X with old archaeological finds.
Nibiru and the Anunnaki
Thats a descently quick start to the rest of the story and how it links to historical beliefs on the subject. There have been pictures and reports of archaeologists finding engravings and heirogliphics depicting airplanes perfectly rendered, with wings, tailfin and rudder. And the complete solar system, including pluto, perfectly to size and ratio of each other with an added planet X with a large orbit. And that some old society was actually mixed with aliens during one of the passings of Planet X, which is called niribu (i think). Its heavily documented in alot of sumerian/mesapotamian findings and artifacts.
Anyways. You have to read it. Or its really no fun. And do more google searches on different stuff because im sure the sites i linked are only half of the good reads.
And if you really want to read some fun stuff look up on recent pictures of mars taken and the "Mars Man" (little man in the background sitting on a rock on a picture from nasa on mars) or the info on the structures found on mars and how people are breaking down the face on mars and stuff.
You can talk about green men and fake UFO videos and photos all you want. But these articles are more fun. Completely conspiracy theory but still a fun and interesting find. Plus having history 3k+ years ago talk about something just found recently, plus testament scriptures supporting them is great.
