New Theory:?

people have longed believed in sorts of religion, philosophy and most who don't believe in something definitely seem to really want to believe something. Also many humans on earth (that have figured themselves out) don't seem to feel 'human'. The true definition of human is 'what it means to be human is having weaknesses'. That means something must've been powerful before humans came into being. Look at ancient rome for example: They were far too strong and smart to have built there country before sufficient technology was made. I myself an an atheist, and I've had an extremely difficult time thinking 'nothing is out there', the world is far too big for that to me true. Reference: the earth is the center of the universe theory (not within people's minds, but in the actual outer space). What do you make of this? Unhelpful criticism (non constructive criticism) will be flagged, also comments unrelated to this topic etc. will be flagged. Since this is a theory, no comment will be downvoted. Also look at people's internet icons, most of them are not real humans.

Update:

Proper Title: New Theory: Not all people are humans

    Comment - Other than the handful of humans in orbit around the earth in the ISS and occasional shuttle, it is redundant and unnecessary to say ''humans on earth''. We don't know of any not living on earth. Besides that, how many people do you actually know that ''have figured themselves out'' who don't actually feel ''human''? Out of the approximately seven billion people on this planet I challenge you to name five. You are committing the logical fallacy of making a hasty generalization. It is also a ''slippery slope'' argument

    Quote - ''The true definition of human is ''what it means to be human is having weaknesses''

    Comment - That's your definition and an overly simplified one. There's far more to it than that. All things that exist have weaknesses so it isn't a unique trait of humans

    Quote - ''That means something must've been powerful before humans came into being''

    Comment - If by ''something'' you mean some other life form, there were and are many that are physically more powerful than humans. If you meant intellectually more powerful, you didn't make that clear. Either way, you have committed a Post Hoc fallacy

    Quote - . ''Look at ancient rome for example: They were far too strong and smart to have built there country before sufficient technology was made.''

    Comment - That is an utterly ridiculous statement and makes zero sense. Perhaps you wanted to say weren't smart enough or strong enough to create Rome on their own which is an historically absurd claim. They irrefutably had the technology.

    Quote - '' I myself an an atheist and I've had an extremely difficult time thinking 'nothing is out there', the world is far too big for that to be true.''

    Comment - OK so you don't believe in deities and apparently you either don't believe in or don't understand the science of star and planet formation or the science s of biology and evolution. This is a serious short-coming if true.

    Quote - ''Proper Title: New Theory: Not all people are human''

    Comment - It's a theory not backed up by any forensic medical evidence. Of course you're not the first to think there are aliens living among us but the ''evidence'' is extraordinarily vague and anecdotal. There is stronger [though highly arguable] evidence that we were created by another race. If that interests you read the books of Zecharia Sitchin beginning with ''The 12th Planet' [1976]

  • Or we are the weak failed and flawed human beings that we all suspect ourselves to be and we need a savior
