Observations On Atheism Part II - God And The Bible

[Daystar]

Let's see ... first you claim alien life is always seen to be superior so I offer two arguments for that, you dismiss one based on it being science fiction (and I agree it was but you did not specify that in the point you made) and you appear to dismiss the other for some vague reason that the public *tends* to speculate ...

Firstly, disregarding science fiction (which sets us in the real world of today), I would say that it is still true that any alien race must necessarily have come across a minimum if 4 light years of space (something beyond our current capability) and so almost certainly WOULD be more advanced than we are and secondly, the general public? As far as I can tell the vast majority of people simply don't even think about such things, certainly not in non-SF terms.

I have to say that your answer disappointed me a little and leads me to suspect that you won't concede even the most reasonable point whether it is about religion or not.

Kyu

I concede oh mighty Kyu god emperor of all wisdom. I concede.

Just for fun.

What I was talking about was what, from my own personal experience, both in real life and online, people tend to think of extra terrestrial life existing without the stipulation that they had made contact with us.

You mentioned sci-fi examples that transcend my own personal observations of public opinion and I conceded offering one of my own sci-fi examples. Frank Herbert's Dune chronicles. You made some good points in what I thought was a good discussion.

I know that the point of the bitter Atheist is to beat down and silence the opposition but I will simply not be so easily beaten down, sir! Because my ego is even bigger than yours

Joking of course.
