Do I detect some moral superiority and intellectual guilt for being humans?
We can determine the fate of the universe? How megalomanian of them to assume that we can do anything like that.
The sun puts out more energy in one solar blast than all our weapons combined.
Since there is no breathable air on any other planet, and we need oxygen/nitrogen to live, where are we going to get it on a large enough scale for colonization - Ghostbusters?
We are not going to the stars in any foreseeable future. Read some scifi books on this issue and you will see that it is presently beyond our technological capacity.
Hell, we can’t even fix a pothole (or pothead) in Washington, DC, or Spokane, Washington.
Obama can’t balance a budget or even tell us accurately how many states we have.
John Kerry couldn’t tell you what country he fought in, in Vietnam (Xmas in Cambodia? - don’t think so). Now he wants to fight in Syria. He’d probably end up ordering strikes on Kuwait.
Ambassador to the UN Samantha Rice can’t even find the building in order to attend work sessions.
NASA is busy spreading the word about Islam and technology instead of planning space missions.
Oh yes. We definitely are NOT going to the stars, and if there is any intelligent life out there (hattip to Walter Sullivan), they are smart enough to stay hidden and far away from our world’s leaders, esp. Obie and his marxist minions.
We need to clean up our own house before we even contemplate leaving it.
However, if we believe in the theory that there is alien life in the universe, there might be some proof in the persons of Dennis Kucinich, Ron Paul, Ed Schulz, the late Helen Thomas, Rosanne Barr, Lurch, Princess Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Obama.
If they are not aliens, they may be, nevertheless, the closest thing we will ever see like alien life.
Maybe not in this solar system, but in others they're finding, it's a distinct possibility.
There are 100 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy alone. Scientists are discovering that nearly all of them have planetary systems of multiple worlds. That puts the possible number of planets in just this galaxy in the hundreds of billions.
The odds dictate that there will be thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of planets, that are capable of supporting earth-like lifeforms in the Milky Way alone. Now start multiplying that by the hundreds of billions of other galaxies.
It may be beyond our imagination, or our understanding of physics today, to see how mankind will ever travel to such places, but it's coming. Perhaps not in our lifetimes, but it'll happen.
That’s the longest list of falsehoods and irrelevancies I’ve ever seen assembled in one place on FR.
