That is just hogwash in my opinion---the Drake Equation proves that life
MUST exist elsewhere.
Even the SETI scientists agree that LIFE is probably abundant!
Absence of Evidence is NOT Evidence of Absence!!

Subject: [meteorite-list] Alien Contact Predicted
Eric:
It's my belief that We Are Alone! There's nobody out there. Life and
intelligence is a singularity, a miracle, call it what you will, it only
happened once, here on good old Planet Earth. We are the Seed that will
spread throughout the Universe by Space Migration. It's our manifest
destiny and a matter of survival. Nobody knows how or why it happened, it
just did. It was either God or chance, take your pick. There are those
who claim otherwise, but they have yet to provide even the thinnest shred
of evidence. Those who make extraordinary claims must provide some
extraordinary evidence to back it up. And they never do! Not one person
abducted by ETs has ever grabbed an alien cellphone or anything else to
prove they were aboard an intergalactic space ship.
The argument for aliens goes something like this: "Well there's billions
and billions of galaxies, one of them has to harbor life. It just has to!
You know, a billion monkeys typing for a billion years, and one of them
writes a Shakespearean Sonnet or the Book of Genesis, whatever. I think
they will just type gibberish for eternity. Life doesn't just pop up all
over the place. It can never be created in the laboratory. It's impossible
to make live stuff out of dead stuff! (Except for that one time.)
This argument puts a lot of faith in Chance and the Laws of Probability.
Might as well say Yahweh or Brahma did it. Evolution guided by chance and
probability, how is that any different from chaos and total randomness?
And why do the aliens always appear in trailer parks and never at Houston
Control, NAU, or the JPL?
Now if I could see one bit of hard evidence, I would change my mind in a
minute.
Just my dos pesos,
Phil Whitmer
