Hair of An Alien?

I stumbled upon this book at Borders, Singapore titled "Hair of The Alien"

The review at Amazon.com reads:

Sydney, Australia. July 23, 1992. Twenty-eight-year-old Peter Khoury was awoken by what appeared to be two females -- both striking and unearthly -- kneeling on his bed. What transpired between them was a physical assault as bizarre and disorienting as it was unnatural. Then, as quickly as they had arrived, they vanished. Khoury had become one of a legion of alien abductees with inexplicable experiences, but this particular incident stood apart from all the others. This time, there was evidence -- two strands of white-blonde hair from one of the females.

Khoury's case would result in the very first forensic DNA analysis of "alien abduction" evidence and revealed an extraordinary biological anomaly -- one genetically close to human yet almost impossibly far from the human mainstream. A gripping account of one of the great mysteries of our time, Hair of the Alien brings us closer than ever before to understanding our past, our origins, and our place in the universe.
The results are nothing less than startling.

The DNA of the alleged Alien hair was analysed, and it was found to be different from the human DNA. Read the details here:

Analysis of Hair Report

The test seemed to indicate that the hair belonged to a very rare Chinese Mongoloid type (in some of my past postings, I did express my suspicion that the Chinese race seem to have some form of link with aliens in their history!)

Read more interesting details and speculations here - possible alien links from the Chinese past.

Artists' impression of the aliens:

Aliens on Mars?

A photo from NASA looks like there is a skull of a being on Mars.

I wonder what is the actual size.
Zachariah Sitchin, who believes that we are the product of an alien race via genetic engineering, speculated that these aliens used Mars as a launching base for their UFOs. If this skull is proven to be true, then his theory will get greater weight.

Homosexuality and Lesbianism

A heated debate is now in progress in Singapore after the recent AWARE saga. It seems that at the centre of the storm is a group of Christians who were not comfortable with what they thought was a hidden agenda by the pioneers of AWARE aimed at promoting Homosexuality and Lesbianism. They claimed that it against the teachings of the Bible.

Of course now the bigger debate is whether religions should have any influence on secular laws of a country. How can these Christians use their Biblical teachings to impose on non-believers? That is definitely the first wrong move.

But my question is, when in history was it instituted that Homosexuality and Lesbianism are wrong? And who made the institution?

Today, it is wrong in the sense that certain aspects of sex are not acceptable to the majority of the population. That is the meaning of right and wrong - whether things are acceptable by the majority, and not absolutes.

One example in the Christian circles is the phenomenon of 'speaking in tongues'. It is recorded in the Bible. But up to the 80s, some denominations of Christians believed in it as from God while some did not and labelled it as from the devil. Today, most of the Christians believe in it, with many skeptics getting converted. So again, there was no absolutes in that case.

Thus, my question is, will it be a matter of time that the world and christians will accept Homosexuality and Lesbianism as normal? I think so.

Can Anyone Become A Saint Today?

Can a Saint Exist in this World?

Can anyone on earth today achieve the following while living the life of a normal person, such as having a family, go to work, need to eat and invest, etc?

1. turns the other cheek when slapped;
2. forgives and forgets all wrongs done to him;
3. get hurt over and over again and does not react;
4. does not destroy any kind of life;
5. overcomes the temptation of sex;
6. gets along with everyone around him;
7. trusts everything and everyone;
8. never utter a word that hurts someone; etc.

I have never seen or met one, or ever read of one, besides of course saints like Buddha and Jesus. Those like Mother Teresa were more like cut off from the normal lifestyle that I am talking about. Consider some scenarios:

1. If someone attacks you and your family with the intention of causing physical harm, would you be so saintly as to let him do it without trying to protect yourself and your family?
2. If a dog attacks you and the only way to save your own life is to kill the dog, would you do it?
3. If you are dying from hunger, would you steal some food if that is the only way to stay alive?

My conclusion is that such a state cannot be achieved by any human being on earth. Our mind is so powerful that it is difficult to forget wrongs, unless we have dementia. A person who is bullied again and again and does not do something to try and remove the situation out of his life cannot be a saint. We would say this person is stupid, mad or of low IQ.

If you happen to be one who believe that you can find a place on earth where everything and everyone is perfect (with all the above-mentioned 8 characteristics), I can tell you very surely that you are wrong. You cannot escape from reality. Some people try to escape by becoming a nun or monk. But we have read of the many shocking stories of monks who raped other monks or nuns, molest children, and also of nuns who are lesbians, etc. Some become hermits. Some withdraw themselves from society and stay at home.

A monastery or nunnery may not be such a perfect place you imagine it to be. The same thing can be said of other places of worship. Just because a person labels himself or herself with some spiritual titles likes ‘pastor’, ‘preacher’ does not mean that he is any better than a normal person.

So remember, live in the reality of the harsh situation on this earth where there are thieves, robbers, rapists, bullies, hunger, deaths, grudges, quarrels, back-stabbing, etc. Be as good as you are, by should the need arises for you to react, do so accordingly, hopefully without breaking any laws in the country you are in. In school, people compete for grades, and some resort to cheating and dirty tactics to get what they want. In the working world I see people doing all kind despicable acts just to gain an advantage over others to get themselves promoted, or just to cause all kinds of troubles for others. Some are given authority over others, and they abuse their authority for personal gains and to grant favors to those they like.

How far you need to or wish to go to protect yourself and your loved ones and friends is your choice. It also depends on how sensitive your conscience is. It is a jungle out there, believe me.

Saints in History

As for the saints mentioned in history, I have my doubts. Why is it that today we do not have such people? Why don’t we have someone like Buddha or Jesus? It makes me suspect that these holy men could have been aliens who came to earth to influence mankind. Why are there no holy men who can perform miracles today? Why did these people exist when there were no technology like cameras, videocam, Youtube, etc to capture them on record? In fact, ever since the camera was invented in 1840, there had not been many reports of holy men or people who claim to wrought miracles. It would make sense to suspect that the aliens know that we have the technology to capture them today and analyze them should they come today and claim to be god.
