UFOs: The Problem of Good and Evil

Copyright 2017, InterAmerica, Inc.

That humankind contends with Evil is a given, although for a few the matter is debatable:

Setting aside Augustine’s “original sin” ideology, we (all of us) can recount the many manifestations of Good with Evil.

(And I am not going to list examples of Good or Evil; you know what they are.)

What I propose is that UFO ETers consider what the state of Good and Evil might be for those civilizations (species) they suggest are visiting the Earth in flying saucers.

Like evolution, Evil has developed alongside man’s progression from ape to techno-human.

For some reason, the malevolence of humans seems to be endemic to our species.

But would that be the case for other species in the cosmos?

Evil (malevolence) sprung up on Earth because of the vicissitudes of existence, the struggle for survival and the insertion in the Neolithic mind that one’s existence had priority over any other existence.

The substantiation of personal existence became evolutionarily refined over time and Earth’s creatures, flora and fauna alike, have made personal existence an intrinsic behavioral human trait.

(Golding’s Lord of the Flies eloquently offers the Jungian idea that Evil is a matter of the Collective Unconscious, and an essence of humanity.)

But, again, would this be so for an off-Earth species?

Evolution, despite being errantly proposed as a universal, cosmological reality, isn’t.

There is no evolution elsewhere like that of Earth; progressive (or maybe even regressive) development, but not evolution, per se.

Darwin’s theory is an Earth-only thing.

So what is the “temperament” of the entities (the beings) that allegedly are commandeering UFOs?

Are they Evil in the sense that we know? Or Good? Or neither?

Discounting the anecdotal imaginings of persons who report they have been abducted by alien beings and the inane interactions that UFO witnesses have proclaimed to happen to them in a supposed UFO encounter with humanoid beings, what can we presume about an imagined visiting alien species?

That they would have to be “scientifically advanced” to travel here successfully from their interstellar home.

That they seem, if UFO witness accounts have any validity, rather passive and dull as a species.

That their curiosity is prosaic, even pathetic.

That the idea of Evil isn’t part of their make-up, or is suppressed to the point of irrelevancy.

You see, what we humans have and are is unique, sometimes awful and sometimes splendid.

That another species would be anything like us is insurmountably ridiculous.

We are one of a kind, alone in the cosmos – a speck of weirdness with often beautiful and Evil predilections that no other supposed species in the Universe has or could have.
