Yes he did dear, now come away from him before he starts telling you about the aliens.
Have you declared war on science?
"Perhaps the major lesson to be learned so far from looking for planets around other stars is that nature can make a lot more planets than we can dream of." -- Alan P. Boss, astrophysicist, October 2008
"We know that there are many stars and planets throughout the cosmos so there may have been countless civilizations that were destroyed by gamma ray bursts." -- Stanford E. Woosley, astrophysicist, 2007
"Aliens could attack at any time." -- Nick Pope, British defense minister, November 2006
"Our children and our grandchildren, et cetera, will be space aliens." -- Jim Logan, physician, July 2006
"As for extragalactic civilizations, I guess we would probably have difficulty recognizing any very intelligent ones." -- Halton C. Arp, astronomer, 2004
"They came from outerspace -- and posed for portraits." -- Erich Von Däniken, author, December 3rd 2002
"Any sufficiently advanced extraterrestrial intelligence is indistinguishable from God." -- Michael Shermer, author, Jan 2002
"If they wish to perpetuate the cover-up, their purpose would be better served by remaining silent, as opposed to insulting the intelligence of the world's population by offering nonsensical explanations that, in no way, correspond with the evidence." -- David E. Twichell, author, 2001
"The Star of Bethlehem was an unidentified flying object in the truest definition of the term." -- David E. Twichell, author, 2001
"Anyone who thinks that there is not enough evidence to prove the existence of UFOs, has simply not studied the evidence." -- David E. Twichell, author, 2001
"...how did these diverse peoples, separated by great oceans and land masses, who could not speak the same language, come up with the same fictitious tales? Even the folklore of the various tribes of the world echo the same underlying theme. Gods descending from the sky in mystical vehicles of fire and smoke to set moral standards for mankind and aid in their development." -- David E. Twichell, author, 2001
"At first everyone believed that those debris were part of some novelty aircraft manufactured in the United States or England, but having done some measurements & material analysis, we came to the conclusion that none of the domestic or foreign manufacturers known to us could have produced this apparatus, at least not in the conditions existing on this planet." -- Pavel A. Klimchenkov, KGB officer, 1998
"It must be a very dour and pessimistic astronomer indeed who seriously doubts that there must be countless numbers of intelligent civilizations scattered throughout the universe on other planets which are orbiting around other stars. An attitude which asserts that man is the only intelligent life form in the universe is intolerably arrogant today ... anyone who holds such an opinion today is, fortunately for those who like to see some progress in human conceptions, something of an intellectual freak equivalent to a believer in the Flat Earth Theory." -- Robert K. G. Temple, author, The Sirius Mystery, 1998
"... civilization as we know it was an importation from another star in the first place." -- Robert K. G. Temple, author, The Sirius Mystery, 1998
"I believe it is time we explored the possibility that UFOs carry the angels of God." -- Barry H. Downing, reverend, 1997
"I wonder if what we now call the UFO reality, and what the Bible calls angels of God, are not the same reality. If this is true, then we humans have a lot of thinking to do." -- Barry H. Downing, reverend, 1997
"It can be doubtlessly proven from old Indic texts that the earth had been visited and influenced by extraterrestrials in remotest antiquity." -- Dileep K. Kanjilal, linguist, June 1995
"To me the most exciting speculation is the idea that extraterrestrials have indeed visited this planet in the past, which is what deductive logic would dictate." -- Tom Van Flandern, astronomer, 1995
"... in a universe in which life is also possible at many levels in an infinite range of scale too, life elsewhere becomes a certainty. It is therefore of interest to speculate about why we are not in obvious communication with extraterrestrials, rather than about whether or not such beings exist." -- Tom Van Flandern, astronomer, 1993
"The case in point is the origin of the human race. By either Von Daniken's approach or by Sitchin's, Occam's Razor argues that the single hypothesis of earlier alien contact with extraterrestrials to explain the wonders of the ancient world and the remarkable agreement among ancient texts in speaking of visitation by "the gods" should be prefered to the multitude of separate and ad hoc explanations others have offered. If mainstream science were not so preoccupied with avoiding extraordinary hypotheses, it would surely be agreed by most parties that the evidence, severely lacking though it is, mildly favors the extraterrestrial visitation hypothesis over most others. However, it cannot be argued that the evidence is anything approaching compelling, especially since it is all indirect (i.e., no definite extraterrestrial artifacts have been found). And since the hypothesis is certainly extraordinary, science prefers to reject it until and unless some extraordinary proof comes along. But what if the hypothesis were true, but most of the evidence has been destroyed?" -- Tom Van Flandern, astronomer, 1993
"For all I know we may be visited by a different extraterrestrial civilization every second Tuesday...." -- Carl E. Sagan, professor, 1990
"In the vastness of the Cosmos there must be other civilizations far older and more advanced than ours." -- Carl E. Sagan, professor, 1990
"Two thousand years ago these extraterrestrials created a being to be placed on this planet to teach homo-sapiens about love and peace." -- Linda M. Howe, journalist, 1989
"The Hebrew original named them Nephilim; the teacher explained it meant 'giants'; but I objected: didn't it mean literally 'Those who were cast down', who had descended to Earth? I was reprimanded and told to accept the traditional interpretation." -- Zecharia Sitchin, author, 1976
"It should not surprise us that there must be other civilizations in our galaxy and throughout the entire universe." -- Robert K.G. Temple, author, The Sirius Mystery, 1976
"The question which this book poses is: Has Earth in the past been visited by intelligent beings from the region of the star Sirius?" -- Robert K.G. Temple, author, The Sirius Mystery, 1976
"Two theories can explain the artifacts described in this chapter -- either there was some kind of technological civilization in a bygone past, or the earth has been visited by beings from other stellar worlds." -- Andrew Tomas, author, 1971
"Personally, I'm absolutely convinced that extraterrestrial creatures have stopped on our planet because of the many traces they left behind." -- Viatscheslav Zaitsev, philologist, 1968
"I consider it extremely probable that not only plant and animal life but also intelligent living creatures exist in the infinite reaches of the universe." -- Wernher Von Braun, physicist, 1968

"Included in Biblical mythology was the belief that the Biblical people were frequently visited by superior beings from another world." -- Barry H. Downing, author, 1968
"We started in 1965. Early 1965. Well, I became interested in the idea the the universe is full of intelligent civilizations, which is the current scientific belief. Well the facts in the film only help you believe the story. But the scientists know now that there are about 1 hundred billion stars in our galaxy and about one hundred billion galaxies in the visible universe. The point is that there are so many stars in the universe that the likelihood of life evolving around them, even if it were possibilities of one in a million, there would be hundrerds of millions of worlds in the universe." -- Stanley Kubrick, film maker, 1968
"I believe it is possible for unknown foreign beings of superior intelligence to have visited our planet at a remote point in time." -- Hermann Olberth, physicist, 1967
"There had been aeons when other Things ruled on the earth, and They had had great cities. Remains of Them ... were still be found as Cyclopean stones on islands in the Pacific. They all died vast epochs of time before men came, but there were arts which could revive Them when the stars had come round again to the right positions in the cycle of eternity. They had, indeed, come themselves from the stars, and brought Their images with them." -- Howard P. Lovecraft, author, The Call of Cthulhu, 1926
"... the sixteenth century, an age -- as you must have been told at school -- when it was the great fashion among poets to make the denizens and powers of higher worlds descend on earth and mix freely with mortals...." -- Fyodor Dostoyevsky, author, The Brothers Karamazov, 1880

Of worlds...." -- Henry More, poet, Democritus Platonissans or The Infinity of Worlds, 1647
"... I should have found very noble Patronage for the cause [of extraterrestrial life] among the ancients, Epicurus, Democritus, Lucretius, &c. Or if justice may reach the dead do them the right, as to show, that though they may be hooted at, by the Rout of the learned, as men of monstrous conceits, they were either very wise or exceedingly fortunate to light on so probable and specious an opinion...." -- Henry More, poet, Democritus Platonissans or The Infinity of Worlds, 1647
"He [Anaxagoras] asserted ... that the moon contained houses...." -- Diogenes Laertius, historian, 3rd century
"He [Democritus] said that the ordered worlds are boundless and differ in size, and that in some there is neither sun nor moon, but that in others, both are greater than with us, and yet with others more in number. And that the intervals between the ordered worlds are unequal, here more and there less, and that some increase, others flourish and others decay, and here they come into being and there they are eclipsed. But that they are destroyed by colliding with one another. And that some ordered worlds are bare of animals and plants and all water." -- Hippolytus, priest, 2nd century
"Alexander wept when he heard from Anaxarchus that there was an infinite number of worlds; and his friends asking him if any accident had befallen him, he returns this answer: 'Do you not think it a matter worthy of lamentation that when there is such a vast multitude of them, we have not yet conquered one?'" -- Plutarch, historian, 1st century
"Democritus, Epicurus, and their scholar Metrodorus affirm that there are infinite worlds in an infinite space ...." -- Plutarch, historian, 1st century
