	<htmltext>Maybe they remember the little games that colonizers of the New World used to do. For example, do I have sufficient authority to sell Manhattan Island to aliens? If it's anything like the 17th century example, then yes, I do. Too bad that there's someone living there already. There's plenty of examples where a treaty would be signed by a small group with no recognized authority in the matter and the results applied to the entire tribe.</htmltext>

I had him as a professor in College and he was brilliant. Just the kind of scientist I'd like to represent us to the aliens.

<tokenext>My UID is below 10,000 so I have been around Slashdot for a while .
Also that is the reason i am posting anon.My younger sister and I have been taken since we were very young aboard various ships .
We were usually taken by benevolent beings but every once in a while a race would take us that had little feeling and would prick our skin with sharp items and check us out physically.The sky is literally teeming with life but the frequency of light is skewed around the crafts making then invisible to radar , sighting , and etc .
and thus the skies look empty.Why my sister and i were taken is still not known .
Why not the kid down the road or someone else for a change , but it was always us .
My older sister and my younger brother would see us taken but never get taken themselves.I know that there will be a million jokes and sarcastic comments but the story i have just relayed is truth as I know it.If you have a question about being " abducted " then i will attempt to answer it .

Unless they truly had a singular consciousness you would think they would understand that different groups of people would have different viewpoints .
Once they are engaging in communication ( either as their first contact or after some initial accidental encounter ) you would think they would either communicate with multiple people or choose their point of contact based on their own criteria.And realistically speaking : Could humanity organize in such a way that a single person could even be designated as the representative ?
Would n't the disenfranchised parties would attempt to slip notes under their door , assuming it does n't turn into an all out shouting match ?</tokentext>

	<htmltext><p>I have to disagree on the point about explaining our evolutionary origins to them. DNA forming by accident is already a longshot as it is, and it's probably useful to consider that an alien race having no common past with us, would likely have come into being by some other means, which may be substantially more or less probable than our own path of evolution. The discussion goes a long way to emphasize that the aliens will not be familiar with concepts unique to Earth, but completely fails to remember that evolution as we understand it, is also unique to Earth. If our fate-appointed ambassador just starts drawing animals, then the aliens may very well get entirely the wrong idea.</p><p>Beyond that, it's probably best if we leave theology (and by extension, origin theories in general) out of the encounter altogether, unless they bring it up. Being technologically advanced does not preclude religious belief-- our religious organizations have a history of denying the validity of scientific discovery, but that doesn't mean the aliens' religions have done the same. Simply enough, if our fate-appointed ambassador makes some sort of implication that refutes their belief system, the result is likely to sour the whole event. Best to leave it alone.</p></htmltext>
