Alien Linguistics

Ok I've been thinking for some time now, what if we were exposed to an intelligent being from another world outside our own, how would we communicate with this being and how would we form some type of linguistics that could make it easy for us to share communications? By being aware that this species of Alien must have been studying humans for some time they would have the ability to understand us but we would lack the knowledge and understanding to communicate back. Do you think humans will ever be on the level of intelligence to understand an Alien species if we already struggle to understand other species on our own planet?

Humans can teach a dog to sit and a dolphin to do tricks but we still lack the understanding of how they communicate to each other in their own environment, do you think this will affect our own interpretation of a foreign alien language if the possibility of being exposed to such things ever occurs?

Please share your thoughts.

Artificial Creation or Evolution

The great debate over evolution or the concept of artificial intelligence, it does not matter if you believe in "God" or any type of religion the concept of the "God" theory is a basic one. Was mankind created from a higher being either through artificial intelligence related to technology or a creation of a power that was formed from a being that has the ability to create life?. Or did we evolve from single cell organisims throughout hundreds of millions of years of evolution? The whole "God" theory is basically a twisted and misunderstood meaning of an alien or a species that has created us in some way shape or form that did not origionate on this planet, I would like to hear the opinions of the members of this site to state what their personal belief is about the creation of our highly advanced species and how you think it came about.
