If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.

LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS??

This is basically the same reasoning which causes me to be an atheist. However, I would nevertheless concede that despite both numbers being incredibly small, there is probably slightly more likelihood of an eventual proof of ET than there is of an eventual proof of the existence of an all-knowing all-powerful creator. But that's not really saying very much and IMO whatever sum of money is being spent looking for ET, it is too much. Over 500 million life capable planets in this galaxy alone and there are many billions of galaxies, and you say there isn't much likelihood? Arguing from ignorance anyone? Pick up a book and learn something.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity. Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist. You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them. 
It frustrates me so much when someone clearly does not understand the absolutely vast size of the universe. To think we are the only living things in a petri dish this massive is in my opinion extremely ignorant.
For people who do not know the size of the universe we should blast them off into space and let them drift for the rest of eternity...
Cunt
In Victor Stenger’s arguments against the fine tuned universe he makes the case that life is inevitable in any universe with stars.
No god required.
Save a life. Adopt a greyhound.

Do I believe there is life (including bacteria) on other planets? Not yet,however I think it's highly likely.I would not be surprised if some form of microbe or fossilised life was found on Mars because water has been discovered there. Sentient life? I guess a statistician might say that given what we know about the size of the universe and numbers of stars,there is a probability of one. I think the statistician is probably right. However,probability is not proof. 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Personal request;would you mind terribly having a go at correct spelling rather than the illiteracy of text spelling? I ask only because I'm an intolerant old prick and easily peeved.

Given the ridiculous size of the universe I just can't see us being the only ones here.Given the ridiculously tiny chance of life as we know it ever having come about I see no reason whatsoever to suppose that life should necessarily have occurred elsewhere in this finite universe. 1 out of our 8 planets 100% has life thats for sure, what about mars? looks like theres dried up river channels on the photos (could be lava flows) and if there was water once on mars theres a good chance there could have been microbial life, that would be 2 out of 8 and what about the moon europa? a lot of experts think there is a very good chance liquid water is under the surface, that would be 3 places in our tiny solarsystem!

There actually were a couple species of dinosaur near the end that were on their way, they had almost mammalian brain to body mass ratios so it isn't out of the realm of possibility intelligent pseudoreptilian species could have emerged were it not for the whole extinction thing.
"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me
"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon 
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925 Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan |
