We have scientific data though. That is really the only methodology to work with, and the only grounds we should be working with. Everything else would have to be something else, because that's not how science works, yeah?
To be honest, I'm seeing your argument along the lines of, "well, we don't have any evidence to disprove the existence of a deity", when according to our scientific understanding, it's considered unlikely because we're supposed to be basing things off of what we can measure, and not by things we cannot measure. Does this make sense?
- For the record, I don't have a problem with 'what if's'. I think it's important for scientists to keep that in mind.twooh

And yet based on your assumed values there is a chance that we are alone not only in whole galaxy but whole universe:
- yeah,
I don't think soGeorgesII - read the link geniuspr2
- Hey cuntfacemacslappincu... :), what made you ever think other civ would use radio, the whole seti thing is built on stupidityGeorgesII
- ah i forgot i'm talking to a noble prize laureate here...pr2
- A lot of the variables in that equation can not possibly be concrete numbers. It's all a guess if we're alone or not.ifeltdave

This is why atheists are idiots. Not as big of idiots as Creationists but idiots none the less.
- ?Knuckleberry
- what does this have to do with atheism?cannonball1978
- if anything this make the religious look retardedmonospaced
- "The complexity suggests that there must be a creator!" - Creationists.nb
- "The complexity suggests that there can't be a creator!" - Athiests.nb
- no just absurd to suggest that there is no possibility that someone helped start life on earth_niko
- just as we might start life on Mars one day._niko
- the creator being a higher more advanced life form and not Kirk Cameron's banana making God._niko
- you make no sense niko.inteliboy
- One life form starting another one wouldn't imply a deity. You aren't thinking this through.cannonball1978
- Yeah. One "life" can't be exempt from the process. It's absolutely ridiculous.monospaced
- not a deity but a higher more advanced life form._niko
- The same way islanders in the south pacific made idols in the form of planes when they thought ww2 pilots were gods._niko
- It's all about perception._niko
- The point being is that there are so many worlds out there and potentially life forms way older and way more advanced_niko
- ...than us that they would seem god-like in comparison. Nothing to do with scriptures or a deity in the biblical sense, that's all man made bs_niko
- ...man made BS. And it's not out of the realm of possibility that these higher life forms have the power to create life and even matter._niko
- ...or even matter. Think how far we've come in the past 100 years, and where we'll be in another 100. We are cloning, modifying DNA_niko
- modifying DNA and trying to crack the mystery of life. Imagine a life form that has had a million year head start on us._niko
- they might be so mind bogglingly advanced that they would seem like gods in comparison._niko
- What is a deity is a whole other discussion though. I don't think atheists are idiots btw, but things are never B&W_niko
- An atheist would LOVE to have a natural explanation of God. If anything, this just makes atheists look smarter.monospaced
- And finding a super advanced creator would only make the bible thumpers look more retarded.monospaced
- were probably saying the same thing I hope no one thinks i'm defending bible thumpers._niko
- I thought you were. I guess we are saying the same things.monospaced
- who knows..we could be the more advance beings that you are talking about.dbloc
- you don't know that there is anything more advanced than us..yes it's possible, but who really knows?dbloc
- Your initial lazy assertion is wrong,. Atheists don't believe there is a god, which is nothing to do with what you went on to..mikotondria3
- ..try to describe, namely that there may be life more advanced than humans. I bet those lifeforms are also atheistsmikotondria3

When you look at the numbers, its literally impossible for us to be alone, otherwise we would be more special than anything thats ever existed or ever happened.
- Anyone who still thinks we are that special or unique is clearly delusional. I bet life life is everywhere.set
- religion says we're that special, which is obviously delusional when you look at the scheme of thingsmonospaced
- That is reason enough not to seek contact.shaft
- and to say that life exists everywhere without ANY proof is "delusional" as well. We have none so far. We currently have no way of finding out past our solar system.twooh
- no way of finding out past our solar system.twooh
- It's almost the definition of agnosticism. Likely, but a long way from proven.mikotondria3
