Haha, this is quite a funny question because it was one that has dwelled on my mind before.  I like to think in my mind that there is something strange that exists out there.  There has got to be some mystery in life because that is just how some people carry on, knowing that something exists and trying to go and find it.  Speaking of which, there are some conspiracy theorists that are inspired by the fact that they think Elvis is still alive, Diana’s death was a murder, and that aliens exist.

I am Catholic and I am taught by my mom that God only created humans in his image and nothing else, but also my mind is science oriented and I cannot help but to think of all the earth-like planets out there in the universe and how many of them actually house life.  Our earth – no more like our solar system – is but a grain of sand in the vast ocean that is the universe.  I do believe that God may have created other things.  We are just not informed of them because it is all a part of His plan.  So are there alien?  Yes, in my opinion, I think there are some out there.  Although I don’t believe every UFO-caught-on-tape I see, I do know that they must exist.  There may be some earth-like planets that have existed with aliens (or humans) for millions of years.  Thinking of the type of technology – even weapons – they may have baffles my mind: being able to travel one light year per hour (absolutely mind blowing), flying cars (actually that might be in our near future), an actual healthy way of curing cancer, world peace. 

Sigh, one can only dream…

In my mind, I’ve always thought about space travel and how much fun that would be, to be able to fly around and take pictures of stars.  I know it’s not that simple, but what if it was?  Our world is getting closer and closer to the future.  I am sure space travel – even tours – might be possible in the future with appropriate technology and of course a large wallet.  When I look at a picture with stars on it, my mind wanders into the endless possibilities that await out there.  I begin to wonder how far that star is from us and how it can burn so brightly as to reach us millions of light years away. 

I sometimes reach my hand out and try to touch the stars, but that is as far as I can go, making empty grasps in the air.  Maybe when I go to Heaven one day, God will give me a tour Himself.  I cannot afford it this lifetime, I may be able to in the next.  I can’t wait.
