You're the 4th person to respond to me in this thread and all others have claimed that of course there is other life in the universe since it is so big. Clearly, they are claiming that life exists elsewhere because we exist.


No one has claimed that.

The only claim is that it is possible that life exists on other planets.

I bolded the key phrase.

It's just not correct to claim because life exists here it must exist elsewhere.


Literally no one is making this claim. Stop saying it.

The possibility exists. No one has made any claim stronger than that.

I do know that finding non-earth life would be the single largest discover in human history.
We will never discover life elsewhere, just like we will never cure cancer.

Too many well-connected are making too much money and power with it. Big Religion, like cancer, is too big to fail.

Finding life elsewhere would bring into question everything we’ve been herded to believe about God and religion.

Sure. Love exists.
Why does it? How does it?
The universe is either wholly material or there’s room for the supernatural.

Do you honestly believe that Earth is the only place in the universe where life exists?

Imagine how narcissistic a person would have to be to believe that of the endless space out there, we are the only living beings.

Do you even physics?

Of course the size of the universe is relevant.


Well, you're wrong again.

No, I am not. Your reading comprehension sucks.

Not one single person claims that life "must" exist on other planets. You are making that up in your own mind.

Many people agree that the probability is very high.

Those are two different things.

I responded to your statement about understanding how life begins. You failed to respond. Did I stump you?

I literally just posted someone calling me narcissistic for not believing there was other life in the universe lol. I think it's your reading comprehension that needs improvement.

I think 5th grade stumped you since you haven't evolved past your feelings of the world when you were 9.

For you doubters, is there a truer book in the history of the world than the Bible?

You may want to consider what I mean by true. It’s not the pointless, left brain only, wooden literalism that imprisons us moderns.

So fiction can’t be true?
