The world famous physicist has admitted that if aliens came to visit Earth, the outcome might not be a positive one

Stephen Hawking has tackled the mysteries of the universe his entire life.

Now the world-renowned scientist has some new things to say about a potential alien invasion .

"If aliens visit us, the outcome could be much like when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans," Professor Hawking told El País .

"Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach," he said.

“You got your opinion. I got mine.”

Your statement is false. I have real world facts to support my comments, whereas you have an opinion based upon fantasies. You are behaving like a typical Democrat who lives in an imaginary fantasy world in which their fantasies and opinions matter more to them than the facts of the real world. It is a real world fact that the people responsible for the treason of the Confederacy began the hostilities of the Civil War before Abraham Lincoln became a candidate and was elected President in 1860.

This is the ‘Genius’, that said we didn’t need God because we had ‘gravity’. Another of his brilliant remarks was,’If time traveled backwards you could buy a winning lottery ticket’.

And while "space seeding" and now alien invasions can be postulated, a creator God and moral authority is vehemently disallowed even as a hypotheses. Why? Because the latter poses a moral demand and opposition to the atheist being as God, which their master seeks thru them.

Less advanced aliens would just hold drag races within lunar orbit, and leave their empty bottles of (whatever intoxicant they use) to run into our satellites.

Or the perverts among them would visit Earth and capture less-educated people to perform bizarre sexual experiments on... oh wait.

The owner will have something to say about that. He has some demolition and renovation work in the plans. It does not include aliens.

Ask the Vogons about that. They may want to read some poetry.

Ya’ll were DOWN HEAH. - Now just what do YOU think Southern MEN were going to do? Allow you Yanks to rape & pillage with
abandon? - The “victors” get to write the “history”. Truth? Meh. Not important now. It’s OVER. He’s dead. (Lincoln that is.)

I’m not a dam* Democrat. Been voting Republican for many, many years. Twinkie didn’t foist the horror that is Obama upon you. - We’re at the end of the age. Get with the times and quit trying to fight the Civil War all over.

Perhaps we are some type of alien, or descendants there of, originally placed in a paradise, but failed to follow the *rules* when tempted by another race of not so benevolent aliens. Clearly we are quite different from all else on the planet, and individually our stays here are quite brief in a linear type time frame.

Take an hour or two to peruse the following site.

Prepare to have your brain fractured:

“Ya’ll were DOWN HEAH.”

Including loyal law abiding Southern men like Governor Sam Houston. So were a million other good Southern men and women in the South who wanted to have nothing to do with the criminal Confederate conspiracy and rebellion.

“- Now just what do YOU think Southern MEN were going to do? Allow you Yanks to rape & pillage with
abandon?”

There you go playing around in your Democrat like little fantasy world again. You’re simply pathetic. Confederate sympathizers attempted to assassinate President-Elect Abraham Lincoln while he was enroute on a train to his inauguration in Washington City. There were no Yanks to rape & pillage with abandon when they committed those hostilities in Pennsylvania and Maryland. There were many Confederate sympathizers who were raping Southern women, murdering Southern men, and pillaging Southern men and women who refused to become traitors to the Constitution and the United States before the first U.S. soldier was ordered to take action against the Confederacy. There were also many Confederate sympathizers who were raping Northern women, murdering Northern men, and pillaging Northern men and women in Missouri and Kansas years before the Battle of Bull Run.

” - The “victors” get to write the “history”. Truth? Meh. Not important now. It’s OVER. He’s dead. (Lincoln that is.)”

In actual point of fact it was a former Confederate general officer who helped to compile and write the Official Records of the War of the Rebellion published by the U.S. Government Printing Office. I use it often.

“I’m not a dam* Democrat.”

I never said you were a Democrat. I only said you behave like a Democrat with your whiny fantasy Confederate dogma and victimhood, right down to the phony exaggerated speech.

“Been voting Republican for many, many years.”

So have many RINOs.

“Twinkie didn’t foist the horror that is Obama upon you. - We’re at the end of the age. Get with the times and quit trying to fight the Civil War all over.”

If you didn’t want to be held responsible for your comments about the Civil War, you never should have posted your Civil War and Confederate fantasies in the first place.

"If ILLEGAL aliens visit us, the outcome could be much like when Columbus SYRIAN REFUGEES landed in America Austria, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans bureaucrats in Brussels," Professor Hawking told El País

Fixed it for him.

Funny he doesn't have a word about the invasion of England by Muslims from France: or the forced importation of Somalis into Minnesota,leading that state to be the US "leader" in occupants traveling overseas for jihad (I mean, Paul Bunyan would be *shocked*): or the drowning of the Southern US in illegals from Mexico, Central, and South America.

No, the doddering old atheist is allowed to go on using up precious food and oxygen (and contributing to the carbon footprint) in an overpopulated planet, because he helps distract the sheep from the wolves being let into the back side of the pen.
