What?
Can I take it that you are NOT a fan of guessing and wishing?
Seems to be. Just does not seem to be billions and billions of signals coming from intelligent life. Our own planet sends a 50/60hz 12 hour shifting signal 50 times brighter than the sun for the last 100 years. So far, nothing like that has been found to say nothing of actual data containing signals.
I tend to be pragmatic, I will believe it when I see it. Does not mean it does not exist. But the lack of signals does not indicate that it does exist either.
Guess we will just have to see wont we?
I also do not believe that if you had a billion monkeys banging on typewriters you would get a book, I figure you would get a billion broken typewriters.
FReegards.
Yeah I read that article!
Good article! Thanks for sharing !
You’re more industrious then I am on this topic!
I am holding out for the “Planet of the Sex-Starved Amazons” myself!
The 10+ dimensions right here on earth are the key to everything. We can't observe/see those extra dimensions, but we know that they're there.
The closest star is 4 light years away. The nearest galaxy is 25,000 light years away. The most distant galaxy is 30 billion (I apologize since you find that word offensive) light years away.
There could have been life in that galaxy for a billion years... 20 billion years ago.
The vastness in time and space makes the statistical odds of us detecting some other civilization infinitesimal, and any that we did detect would likely have existed millions of years ago.
So in a billion years some space alien will hear Barry Manilow and say WTF or will they say “start a band stand”.
The 25,000 LY distant is the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, yes? That appears to be one that was swallowed up by the Milky Way. I grew up thinking the large Magellanic Cloud was the closest, but these dwarf galaxies seem to have usurped that distinction. I think there is a close one in Sagittarius as well (?).
My only point was the vastness of the universe and the in terms of space and time.
Last I tried that was with an atheist at Thanksgiving. He just talked over me and said some derogatory things. But he knows all. Doubt I'll be invited back as being thankful for our very existence is out of the realm of possibility.
This is the reason why a quest for other intelligent life in the Universe will fail, at least in the short term for perhaps 100,000 years. Isaac Asimov and other science-fiction authors have written stories of humans seeking intelligent life out there, and failing. The odds are truly against it. Not just life, but intelligent life existing elsewhere (and discoverable) at this mere sliver of time. We're casting fish hooks into rain puddles seeking big fish.
If they do contact us, and we ask them real nice, maybe they will tell us how they built the pyramids.
I understand. I was just asking specifically if that was the one you were citing. I since looked it up and it seems to be the case.
“The reason we find nothing is because there is nothing . God chose only to create MAN on the Earth. God created the heavens AND THE EARTH. Get it?”
So if we wake up tomorrow with positive proof of intelligent alien life you would conclude the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob does not exist??
‘God designed and created that matter.’
perhaps...
‘He created a lot of things and no one helped him.’
again, perhaps...
So the incredible complexity of even the tiniest subparticle of matter, not to mention atoms and molecules and the intricate ways they can combine and interact is purely accidental?
‘So the incredible complexity of even the tiniest subparticle of matter, not to mention atoms and molecules and the intricate ways they can combine and interact is purely accidental?’
why not...? You have evidence stating otherwise...?
Thank God you weren’t around, say 1490 AD, or so. BTW, the Earth ain’t flat. Flame away!
Somebody with the intellectual capacity of a toad would certainly think it could happen by accident.
