Accept it, what they said had implications beyond what they were applying them too and those implications are what i'm exposing even if you can't bring yourself to acknowledge that.(January 3, 2013 at 12:42 pm)Mark 13:13 Wrote: Well I would contend that showing that life elsewhere is not an unfalsifiable claim will only come by showing evidence of life elsewhere which is the evidence you require regarding GOD. Until then I see no difference.
You are incredibly dense. Go look in the mirror. There, I have provided evidence of a living being in the universe. Now you provide evidence for the existence of any god.
If you don't understand the difference between searching for another example of a defined and proven existent vs. searching for evidence of an arbitrary concept, you're hopelessly deluded.
Regarding the OP, here's the exchange just before the bit you pulled out:
Tyson: "Point is, it (life) happened relatively quickly with the most common ingredients in the universe. To now say that life on Earth is unique in the universe would be inexcusably egocentric."
Dawkins: "I agree".
Dawkins was clearly having a go at those that believe life to be unique to Earth.

But until life is found you are only talking numbers. As until it is found there can be no certainty. So I stand by what I said earlier.
There is no such thing as certainty in science.
I agree apart from according to many on here the certainty that GOD does not exist.
