This analysis probably more accurate than the Polls touted by the Liberal press. IOW...The sample is too small to make an accurate conclusion..

They’re looking in all the wrong places i.e. they’re looking at solar systems like our present one and not like the original pre-flood system. They should be looking at dwarf stars like Jupiter and Saturn once were and the thing they should be taking the hardest look at would be Proxima Centauri.

Let's see, we have found earth like life on one out of 501 planets (earth itself). That is a success rate of 0.2%. Now how many planets are there? Multiply that by 0.2% and the number of potential life supporting planets is very, very large.

500 planets down, unknown but very very large amount to go.

I can’t remember who said it... might have been George Carlin... but a comedian once said that if there’s intelligent life out there, they are proving their intelligence by NOT contacting US.

This is the argument:
We have not found life yet, and the 500 planets we can see are too inhospitable for life, so there must not be life anywhere except here.
This DUMBELL should have his scientist license revoked.
I bet he ‘believes’ in global warming too.

A separate team of scientists recently declared the chance of aliens existing on a newly discovered Earth-like planet 100 per cent.And I declare with 100% certainly that we will find a planet shaped just like Alfred E. Newman's head before we find life on another planet.

In related news, the ant colony in my driveway has declared that life outside the block we live on is impossible.

Given that our current extra-solar planet detection methods are best at finding super-massive planets close in to their primary star, it is hardly surprising that most of the planets discovered are hostile to life as we know it.

500 planets, well that settles it...
But if there is no other life in the universe, there soon will be. We’ll spread out sooner or later. Then go back in time and populate it that way too. So there already are other inhabited worlds, just not yet in the past.
That is, of course, deo volente.

"Howard Smith, a senior astrophysicist at Harvard, made the claim that we are alone in the universe after an analysis of the 500 planets..." Hopefully, this moron is old, and will die before he's embarrassed for all time by this stupid, premature pronouncement. History is replete with examples of scientists making wildly inaccurate predictions.
I suppose that he never stopped to realize that it's just possible that his sample size is too small, and that the incidence of earthlike planets might be 1 in 10,000. Perhaps it's only one in a million.
This is yet another example of modern day scientists weakening the public's confidence in the field.

Pinheads like him have been making false conclusions since the beginning of time. He hasn’t seen but 0.0000000000001% of all planets, yet, he thinks that’s a good enough sample.
