--- Quote from: Dannu on April 09, 2015, 10:59:53 AM ---There is absolutely no way we're the only intelligible life form. --- End quote --- Have you done the math? Figured out what % of planets are in the goldilocks zone? Multiplied it by the % of planets that will get a sufficient amount of water to support life in the long-term? And then multiplied that by the % of planets that will get the necessary amino acids and what not to form life? Hell, we don't even know for sure how life first formed on earth, so how can you ever be sure? The answer is you can't ever be sure. |

--- Quote from: Nonnel on April 09, 2015, 11:01:37 AM ---galaxy =/= universe --- End quote --- Didn't notice he said galaxy. You can't carry off the hundreds of billions of galaxies there are and say that even if we are the only intelligible life form in our galaxy, we are a big deal. |

--- Quote from: Ipquarx on April 09, 2015, 11:04:13 AM ---- --- End quote --- Standardizing evolutionism we can safely say that an extremely rare set of conditions must be met to form life as we know it. If you take into consideration the amount of possible conditions that exist, they will at least vaguely be met somewhere out there and form means of life that can sustain multi-cell organisms. |

Just because there are billions of galaxies out there does not necessarily mean that there will be other life, especially when you consider that we have literally no idea how rare it is for life to be able to form on a given planet. Literally nobody knows how rare it is, so you can never be sure. You can guess, and say "Well if the probability is x then there are possibly y planets with intelligent life" but we don't know what x is, that's the problem. |

--- Quote from: MoltenKitten on April 09, 2015, 09:05:52 AM ---Actually no This is just a secondary objective to help us fulfill our primary objective --- End quote --- I can't even No human beings don't reproduce to fertilize the ground you dolt, we have a survival instinct for a reason. Humans, like every other animal on the planet, exsist to reproduce and propagate their own species. That's the goal of all life, even bacteria. It's fine if that's your own personaly philosphy, but dont claim that it has any kind of scientific relevance. |
