The Science of Conspiracy Theories

The evil alien theory

The evil alien theory

I've already discussed the alien reptilian conspiracy in which it is proposed that we humans are being ruled by ancient reptilian aliens. I gave up on that one when they said that Queen Elizabeth is a reptilian.

Project Blue Beam is a theory that says that NASA generated a fake alien invasion by projecting laser shows into the sky.

In all of the currently circulated alien conspiracy theories, extraterrestrial aliens are portrayed as being evil. But, would this be the case? Would all aliens that come from some far off star system have evil intent?

I suppose if we were using equivalent human history as an example, the answer would be yes. Most of the explorers that came to Africa and the Americas were looking for loot in the form of gold and they subsequently killed the native populations or enslaved them, using the excuse that these indigenous people were inferior and could be treated like animals. Would an intelligent species from outer space act the same?

If you go by the science fiction movies about alien invaders, you would suspect that aliens that come here would be evil. Think of the movies 'War of the Worlds', 'Alien', 'Predator, 'Independence Day', and 'Men in Black'. There are hundreds of movies of that genre, and they all involve aliens that are evil or violent.

Then again, some aliens were not evil, as in the following movies: 'Starman', ET - The Extraterrestrial', "Man Who Fell to Earth', and 'Superman'. Yes, superman is an alien.

My theory is that aliens that have developed the advanced technology to travel all the way to our planet from a distant star system wouldn't necessarily be evil. The reason I say that is because their civilization would have had to exist in peace for a long time in order to build the spacecraft to travel that far.

We humans are an example of how not to do it. We spend ungodly amounts of money on war, money that would go a long way to building spacecraft with ability to travel light years. I also believe that we humans will first have to deal with racial and religious hatred before we every hope to have lasting peace. I don't see this happening anytime soon. This is unfortunate because we are living in a period in which these hatreds are heating up, which if left unchecked will result in wars.

Hopefully, extraterrestrial intelligent species won't have this problem because they'll be all one race and religion, or at least won't let differences lead to costly wars. If you took away what had been spent on all of the wars in our human history and used it to further science and peace, we would be a lot better now and probably going out to the stars.

Thanks for reading.
