Intelligent Life Really Can’t Exist Anywhere Else
Hell, our own evolution on Earth was pure luck.
In research published in 2020 from Oxford University's Future of Humanity Institute, scientists study the likelihood of key times for evolution of life on Earth and conclude that it would be virtually impossible for that life to evolve the same way somewhere else.
Life has come a very long way in a very short time on Earth, relatively speaking—and scientists say that represents even more improbable luck for intelligent life that is rare to begin with.
For decades, scientists and even philosophers have chased many explanations for the Fermi paradox. How, in an infinitely big universe, can we be the only intelligent life we’ve ever encountered? Even on Earth itself, they wonder, how are we the only species that ever has evolved advanced intelligence?
There are countless naturally occurring, but extremely lucky ways in which Earth is special, sheltered, protected, and encouraged to have evolved life. And some key moments of emerging life seem much more likely than others, based on what really did happen.

Yes! Or they REFUSE to see it!
Now THAT is an impossibility! lol lol lol
“It only seems impossible to the Godless.”
Yes, if/when the G-dless encounter G-d, they will assume He is an “alien”, because G-d is not to them possible as “intelligent life”.
It’s getting to be a pretty thick volume.
The book full of quotes by learned scientists who say thus-and-such is impossible, I mean.
...but then, the existence of hell has always existed within Christian theology.
There’s a world where Lincoln shot Booth, the Archduke shot Princip and Joy Bahar doesn’t scare blind dogs off of meat trucks.
I made the last part up.
It is not a question of chance but of choice.
In the beginning.........
The distances are the reason I don’t believe any little bug-eyed green or grey guys are visiting us.
But that doesn’t mean there aren’t explanations for all of the stories. I don’t believe they are all mistaken identification or hoax. People are seeing something for which we don’t have an explanation.

This person is for one heck of a shock. I didn’t bother reading after that.
The bible tells you exactly what they are.
This seems a pretty good argument for creation...
Well, there’s NO Intelligent life in Washington DC. That’s pretty obvious even to the casual observer.
I’m not aware of the Bible ever addressing vehicles in the sky - except maybe Ezekiel.
It’s certainly not here.
The Bible tells us that God IS light. He just deigned to give us a little of it.
The other side of the wall is just more God in expression.
There will never be an end.
Where do people get the ego?
... and then 83M Americans supposedly voted for Joe Biden. Explain that one!
