Recent excerpt:

In an announcement with massive consequences for the human race, astronomers say there are “probably about one hundred” planets within just 30 light-years of our solar system which could support life along Earthly lines. By their calculations, there are tens of billions of such worlds in our galaxy, suggesting that even if life is very rare it is bound to have arisen elsewhere.

Even if life has arisen on many other planets, the chances that chocolate has evolved on them is extremely slight.

Just google “michael crichton” + “drake equation” for a real eye-opener on the true value of the astronomer’s “calculations” in this areas.

My contempt for these people and their duplicity only grows with each data point.

But on Star Trek, there are numerous Class M planets throughout the galaxy.

There is a formula or equation they used, which predicted how many there were.

Well, they visited such planets almost every week on that show.

(sarcasm)

It all those. “Relatives” of ours are so nearby, why haven’t they looked us up.....or at least dropped us a card? I’m offended!
