Do you ever wonder if we(mankind/earth) are just a huge laboratory experiment for Aliens?

Question

just wondering if you wonder so

Answer 1

i cannot remember if i got that notion from reading many hundreds of sci fi novels or movies or daydreaming about spiritual matters and god but, yes, i have thoght about it for ever so long. it really hit home when a friend gave me the first of the series by Philip Hose Farmer entitled "Riverworld." I bought all the subsequent installments. If you have read those you understand what i mean. If not, go to wiki and scan a synopsis. It does a great job in a parody of what you are referring tol It deals with the notion of God but it turns out there are an advanced "people" who are able to do things we cannot dream of. At first they are considered gods, but they admit that isn't so and they also admit they know no more about God than ordinary humans. They wonder, too. Wonderful read with so many lines of interest. For me, i tend to operate on the notion that this is a garden laboratory that God created to observe and probably millions more in the universe. Got an idea there is a god and things in between god and humans andthe universe is vast beyond our puny imagination. but we must carry on like nice little hobbits and weed our gardens and try to choose good over evil. Try and not worry so much. You really aren't here for all that long are you? I know i am not. so i will grill my nice little chicken slather with kikoman and adobo by goyo on my george forman and it is sizzling and smells enticing. ice cold diet pepsi and no starchy things. thanks for the nice question. it was fun. later my friend.

Answer 2

Considering the fact that we are the experimental results of past activities, seeking to perfect the obtention of more energy for less effort... of course it be only natural that some will perceive of such a possibility.

Answer 3

Wouldn't suprise me a bit.

Answer 4

Not a laboratory but they do need our oxygen.  That's why you see UFOs sometimes because they come for the oxygen.  They want us to keep the earth green for the oxygen.  I think Al Gore is one of them.  Just kidding.  There is many unexplained things in this world and some people think it is possible.

Answer 5

Now  I am pretty much thinking that we just become a laboratory for the bankers and corporations of this world... Wheter or not they are in turn controlled by Aliens, I am not sure, but I don`t care either!! I don`t want to become a laboratory rat!!

Answer 6

I'm no experiment!

Answer 7

lol,  i don't mean to be rude ,this is the funniest thing i heard today , i hope not because that would be scary

Answer 8

It could be. If the humans, with their very limited knowledge of the Universe, are considering colonies in Mars or the Jupiter moons, why not other superadvanced civilization could have done the same in Earth say 6000 years ago and planted some species here (aka as humans) to see how they evolved.

Then instead of a god above we would have the great commander of the space ship above watching over us heh heh!

Answer 9

So, I see you got the Memo also...

Answer 10

I don't believe that because I'm a Christian and I believe in Gods promise to save us if we believe in Him and I do. Therefore there cannot be a lab like you say, that's looking down on us.

Answer 11

When I was a teenager I used to wonder if it was all just a test.  Everyone around me was programmed to behave a particular way to gain a reaction from me and I was being judged on my reactions.  I recently found out that most people have thoughts at one time or another along these lines.  In a general psychology class I learned that it was pretty normal for people to have this line of thought at one time or another.  Whew!  When I was younger, I thought I was just a freak!  Sometimes its good to be normal.
