I think now that we are getting so sophisticated today, we are getting closer to extra terrestrial point of view. Christopher Columbus came to america with the knowledge where law was "black people arent people. women cannot vote." etc. According to many religious theory, "the gods decended from the sky." giving the majority of global tribs and cultures certain knowledge to pass on generations to generations till this day. The only thing is that they "misinterpet" the view of advance race beings as "gods on flying ships". If we ever make contact with the aliens, or if they ever come back to us to reveal themselves as the world as we know it today, from knowledge we know; i think we can have a universial change. a change to mankind. a change to life. having a new point of view on everything we theorize or know.

im sorry if im going to long on this comment and im sorry for my bad english.

What im trying to say in general is that we are becoming more closer to being like them. becoming not only technologicaly, more advanced, but also more spiritually advanced.
