This movie i believe can be looked at many ways…… It depends on how you yourself portray it…… When i seen the end all i could think about was these whispers weren't Aliens persay but angels and the kids at the end were taking up in what christians and myself believe to be what they call rapture…… In other parts of the movies u seen Nicholas Cage in front of the Angels then they showed him their real image thats when he blacked out, i always heard when angels show their true selves people cant handle it just like in the bible when Angels showed their true form…… The children then were then taken to the new Earth…… Im a christian so i always look to my lifestyle as to what i portray a ending to a movie or a book might actually be telling me……..

 Do unto others as you would have other do unto you. Be polite and courteous at all times. Remember that you’re not communicating with a computer screen but with a human being who has thoughts and feelings just like you. So, always think of the person on the receiving end of the messages.
 Do not TYPE IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS for emphasis. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING. If you need to emphasize a word, use asterisks, like*this or lines like_this_.
 Remember that the written word is hard to interpret. When you speak to someone, that person can heat the tone of your voice. If they can see you, they can take visual clues form your face and body to understand your meaning better. All of this is list in text, and sometimes responses can come across as mean or rude, even when you did not intend them this way. This is the reason some people use emoticons (visual clues) in their e-mails; it saves a lot of confusion.
 Be careful not to use rude or bad language online. Many providers will terminate you account.
 Don’t break any laws. When you’re on the net, follow the same rules of behavior that you would in real life. Remember, if it is against the law in the real world, it is against the law in cyberspace.
 Be universal. Other users have different Web browsers, different online services, different e-mail programs, etc. So don’t, for example, send out e-mail with text formatting—boldface, italics, indentations, etc.—because many other programs will not be able to read the formatting, and the recipients will receive your e-mail filled with muddled codes.
 Be brief, whenever possible. No one wants to read through a lot of unnecessary information. If you are replying to an e-mail, try editing out unimportant information and anything that is repeated.
 Don’t flame. Do not send rude or offensive e-mails or postings. It is bad manners and can get seriously out of hand (flame wars). So don’t flame others, and, if you are flamed, do not respond; you will never win. If you are flamed in forum or chat room, or, if you receive hateful e-mail, let your parents or teachers know.
 Always identify yourself. If your parents require you to use an online name instead of your real one, that’s fine—use your online name constantly. Never send e-mail without including your name at the bottom of the e-mail. Similarly, don’t post forum messages without identifying yourself; this is seen as rude.
 Make a good impression. Remember that written word is the only way you can represent yourself online, so spelling and grammar count. If you are going to be writing a large amount of text for other people to see, make sure you break it up using paragraphs; it will make it easier on the eye for those that will read it.
 Be patient with newcomers. Once you have become an Internet expert, it is easy to forget that you started out as a newbie, too. Learning the rules of cyberspace is much like learning a new language; it takes practice and including mistakes. So, if you come across someone else’s mistakes on the Net, don’t put them down; just politely point them in the right direction for guidance (send them a copy of these rules to get them started on their way!).

Your posting had good potential…but it was poorly written; out of sequence, incomplete points etc…

Wouldn't that be a likely possiblity? How else could they have descibed something they never saw? When Columbus arrived in America he thought the natives were Indians and thus, the natives thought they were gods…until they started getting slaughtered. But how else would someone, thousands of years ago, describe something like that other than “spiritual”. It is not unlikely that we've been wrong all along and that indeed, the “all mighty” will return and save those that deserve to be saved.

This movie explores the likely possibility that yes, we were placed in this world by a power and knowledge greater than our own, being god or alien. secondly it is likely that over thousands of years of man kinds existance humans have painted their own interpretation of a superior being as God when in reality god and its heavenly angels are truly an advance civilization…That is more likely to be possible than the existance of God. Take a look at the ending of the movie, as the kids rise with the “aliens” there are angle type wings on their backs. Who is to say that God and angels are to appear out of the clouds as portreyd by Michael Angelo? In the past and until this day that has been the image painted by all who portray the coming of God, but is it an accurate portreyal or simply the only way to describe what is unexplainable? Until that day comes, we will never know.

People are only homeless because they are lazy. I myself lost everything over night to my ex wife leaving me while i was in jail due to her. I came out of jail with nothing and today have my own house, a car, and a new baby. Because i had to will to work and not live off of everyone else. Also Al gore is doing nothing but getting filthy rich off of the global warming thing. DId he mention this has been one of the coolest summer ever…

Yes, I thought the same thing. I think the message is that God is simply mans explanations for something bigger than him/herself. Much like the new civilization that is going to be created. How will they explain their origins? Something simple that people will buy and not question.

Edwin is right: maybe angels can travel without vehicles capable of preserving life, but not the kids. Erik, Lucinda probably suggested the time capsule because of the voices telling her what to do and the numbers. The ambulance crew did not even turn around when the police guy shot in the air, which was weird; good one with them being there at that time, but maybe they just happened to be there on the way to or from somewhere else. When Koestler was figuring out the numbers, he was kind of drunk already and he did not know he was looking at the date yet. It feels ok to me, just maybe very improbable to find 9/11, but the whole movie is about coincidences. The other points you make are pretty good. Nice!
