Heya guys. I went to see the new Transformer movie! Boy, if any of you have seen it, you should have to consider what we define as "Alien"
Where's that link? I was going to show it to someone, but I must have missed it. What page is it on?
The forum has nifty search funcs...
But, hey, I am not too unwilling: http://richardwiseman.wordpress.com/
The effect is called simultaneous contrast.
well thats not a question is it, its an invitation to a lecture. I know everything about their "emergence" story. I even know you don't call it a creation story. How stunning is my knowledge
but youre asking too general a quesion, Taiowa instructed Sotuknang to create humanity which he did with the help of Kokyangwuti, what specifically is the question you want answered because obviously if you haven't studied Hopi then nothing I can say is going to have much meaning to someone who thinks they know all about it because they have studied ufo's
your question is meaningless, if you asked it of a christian theyd direct you to the bible, there is no equivalent Hopi text...
but come on, you must have thought the Hopi bowl joke was funny

you couldn't look them up yourself ?
Taiowa is the Hopi creator god, he created Sotuknang who is described as his nephew. Sotuknang then created Kokyngwuti to assist him in creating mankind

Is "Taiowa" 'the' God, to the Hopi?
Where does he live?
The link you provided didn't say.
and you were incapable of finding out for yourself that Taiowa is a solar deity ?
why is that even relevant to U.F.O's, are you going to claim now that the sun is a ufo ?

That is not a point, its just a demonstration once again that you don't know what youre talking about, its quite natural to worship the sun as a God, everyone did it, the main reason they did it was because the sun is pretty easy to spot, they also believed that Taiowa could take human form, he is never described as anything even remotely ufoishThe point friend, is that the Hopi did NOT 'know'/see/measure their creator either. They knew 'of' him/she/they, AND that they existed 'not on Earth'...
until the modern period people didn't know what planets were, they were just stars that moved differently.Meaning that he was among the stars, or that he rules over the Sun and all it's planets?
he looks like thisWhat 'form' do the Hopi believe Taiowa takes?
Oh come on... Why is this posted here?
I know this is a joke to a great many of you, but can we at least try to be a little serious?
as a world full of Xenophobes we're more than adequately qualifiedWho are we to judge on Alien life?

then you should watch more Trek![]()
or, better yet, read some of the SF published over the last 70 years.![]()
Transformers is more realistic than having Biological organisms visiting us. Machines/nanobots can be designed to be stronger, smarter, more consistent than man.
Maybe, maybe not. As I said, "read some of the SF published over the last 70 years".

to claim that solar deities were worshipped because people didn't know what it was is just wrong, and unsupportable
until the modern period people didn't know what planets were, they were just stars that moved differently.
