re: The meaning of Life

People that think there is other intelligent life out there are living in fantasy... You fail to understand the chain of events that lead to our evolution to who we are today. I'm about to pull a stat out of my arse, but I think it's fairly accurate. The fact that we have become who we are today is equivalent to winning the lottery a 100 times in a row... The odds that a rock is the perfect distance from the sun, rotation, atmospheric formation, the list goes on and on had to be absolutely perfect. Just saying "The universe is so big, like, we can't be the only ones" is just someone foolish. Most of my friends believe in other life out there (one claiming to have seen a UFO)... And we argue about this every now and then. The fact that there is no proof of another intelligent life form leads me to believe that in fact we may be the only ones. Time will tell and I'm fine with it either way... Just giving my opinion on the matter.

There is a book called a dictionary. A dictionary defines the meanings of words. One word in the dictionary is "metaphor":
Metaphor definition: The comparison of one thing to another without the use of like or as: “A man is but a weak reed”; “The road was a ribbon of moonlight.” Metaphors are common in literature and expansive speech.
Dictionaries are available at book stores, libraries and even online. You're welcome.

You mentioned odds. So here we go. There are around 300 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy alone, and the Milky Way isn't really a big galaxy at all. Scientists estimate there are 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe. So if we take the milky way as an average galaxy and say that every galaxy has about 300 billion stars, and, being conservative, say that every star has one planet.. well then that gives an estimate of 30000000000000000000000 (3x10^22) planets. So yea... If you had that many lottery tickets you probably would win 100 times in a row
This is only in the observable universe BTW. There's more out there we can't see.

Uh, no.
I think people should do whatever makes them happy or satisfied. I reject the idea that gluttony and greed are bad things.

Love as much as you can. It is but a breath. Take advantage of the time with people closest to you.

Ah, no problem. His post in the Tyrone Jones thread is a hoot, funny stuff.

Not every star has big enough rocks orbiting it to sustain life... 50% of "sun like" stars contain planets that are earth size or bigger. You can't just say there are billions upon billions of stars because most of them are not suitable to sustain life or even have planets orbiting them that are big enough.
I admit, I am no astronomer, but I am a scientist/engineer that knows about burden of proof. We cannot prove any intelligent life exists, so I will not fantasize about something that is highly unlikely. It will be a long time before this question will be answered, much longer than the earth will be around.

Wow.... Man are you serious here? Do you not understand what I did with that? Of course I know that not every single star has a planet.. But look at the sun, it has 9 (or 8 depending on what you decide to call a plantet). So yes, some stars might not have any, but some have many. Saying that every star has 1 was just a rough estimation.. it could be more or less. The point is, the number of planets in the universe is absolutely unfathomable. You mentioned odds, so odds are there is life out there.

Yes it is... My saying growing up to remember the planets is now unfinished.

You obviously know nothing about probablility.. or even mathematics in general so I'm gonna have to go out on a limb and say that you aren't, in fact, a "scientist/engineer"

typical engineer retort. wow
It reminds me of my bro in law. who is a pe. I helped them move and he was trying to fit his tv in the front seat of his mustang. Measured, angled, etc and said it just isn't going to work.. I said. "Give it to me" crammed it in the front seat and said "it fits."
ETA: Morale of the story.. Right, wrong, or indifferent engineers think differently than others. If it isn't black and white in front of them it doesn't exist.
