For example; People would demand the technologies to provide the world with clean, free energy; which would reduce pollution, provide (theoretically) cheap and perhaps maintenance free commercial, transportation, industrial, agricultural, metro, rural, domestic power solutions and yes - entirely new military defence logistics that would make nuclear technology redundant. This is only what I can think of at the moment of this writing. So why not disclose. Well, despite collapsing the fossil fuel, uranium and the countless off shute dependant industrial, transportation and technology industries built on the old technologies; equating to billions of job redundancies, the real concern I would imagine would be for loss of control / regulation of the new energy based applications. Given that wars / terrorism are perpetuated by under the table deals of conventional military technology now, the imagination is the limit for what havoc could be done and how quickly it could be delivered if it was freely available to those who wish to use it for their own political, religious or criminal agendas. Before such new wonders could be given to the world at large we as a human race would need to undergo dramatic life changes and be unified. This in reality isn't going to happen unless under very controlled and perhaps staged circumstances are brought into effect. I wonder then if this NWO that is being rumoured to be in the pipeline is perhaps their solution.

A new study out is showing more and more people shunning these organized religions for we as a nation are wising up to their lies, misinformation and blood thirsty ways.

Yes intelligent people can see the thinly veiled attempt to pass the bible off as "intelligent design", and to bring the world back to the days of the dark ages. When the church was king and knowledge was a sin, punishable by death.

We in the USA know the religious community want to introduce "intelligent design" in lieu of true science to slow and diminish science from continuing to disprove the bible.

It seems to me that "Intelligent design" is a viable theory as to how life became here on earth but only if intelligent aliens were the designers. Actually, I could believe that more easily than the currently held theory that life evolved via natural selection from the simplest of organisms. You are probably very right in many of your assertions above but don't rule out the possibility of Intelligent design by master alien geneticists.

Lets not forget that it was only three hundred years ago when we thought the world was flat and that the sun and the universe revolved around us. When we really look up into the stars and put things into perspective we can appreciate just how small and insignificant we are.

We colonize this planet and ravage its resources like locus, not giving consideration to our future generations and how they will have to live on this tiny spec of dust in a rather insignificant corner of space that is no better or worse than the vastness of the universe with no air because we have cut down the forests or food because there are just too many of us.
Yes governments cover up the truth because they know we cannot handle the truth although we think we can. We live here with our world economy and how realize just how fragile that economy is and that if we were to upset the balance then the world order would collapse. Imagine if we were to discover technology which did not use fossil fuel, this would mean that we would no longer trade with the middle east. How would they then feed their people and what do you think would happen then. Famine, war these are just some of the issues that would engulf the region and eventually the world.
Unfortunately too many people throughout history have died in the name of god whoever or what every it is, two things we do know for certain are that, God, if it exists or perhaps the nearest thing we can identify with it ‘Mother Nature’ goes about her business every moment of every day. Take care you don’t get in her way for she cares not for the color of your skin or how you worship her. She has done for millions of years and she will continue to do so long after we have managed to finally extinguish the human flame. Secondly the holy books are the word of man, written to document beliefs or stories handed down from generation to generation, adapted and then rewritten to accommodate personal beliefs. How can we believe in these books if the very people who preach the word are the same people who allow millions of their most ardent supporters to die in squalor while those who collect the proceedings live a life of luxury, abuse children and preach hatred. These same people who still today teach their followers that Adam and Eve did live with dinosaurs.

In our universe we are the new kids on the block and only just descended from the trees, wouldn’t it be fantastic if something could lead us by the hand as we would a child and help us to open our eyes and really look at what is about us. Truth is, we are ignorant and although we believe we are ready for the truth history time and time proves if we are given the truth we will exploit or manipulate it to our own advantage.

The picture is not as bad as it seems. As a species, we are beginning to understand the importance of sustainability. Electric cars are coming soon, reducing the dependence on oil, and technology is improving all the time. The problem is, we can hope for some aliens to come and help us, but we can't expect it - we have to sort things out ourselves. We don't even know if faster than light travel is possible - if it isn't the chances of aliens ever coming to earth are minuscule.
