Re: Hey Nimby
I see where you're going with this... Not all religious people are anti-science and don't believe life could be elsewhere in the universe. Hell, the Pope and the Vatican says there has to be other life out in there in the universe.

Re: Hey Nimby
The odds of there is life of some sort outside of our solar system are extremely high. Hell, it's pretty damn likely that there's sentient life somewhere else too.

Re: Hey Nimby
And the odds that we find it is extremely low.

Re: Hey Nimby
But what if the aliens are tastier than cows. I think an interstellar war is warranted.

Re: Hey Nimby
"TO SERVE MAN"
I have been sounding the alarms for over two years now that the aliens are not our friends. They are hostile carnivors, I refer to them as cannibals out of preference since when they are not trying to possess humans they eat them. And when they do invade the earth, there will be plenty of famine here because of the natural disasters and wars that happen before their arrival. And yes, mankind will be on their menu. According to the Center for Exploited and Missing Children, over 300,000 children per year are missing. That does not include adults. And other than this being mentioned on a milk carton it's quietly swept under the rug away from the public’s eye. The aliens aren't going to come to eat humans, they already are. It will just get worse when they arrive and there is no food to feed them. They will feast openly on humans, human body parts, and yes, this will happen in America. The Lord has told me over and over that it will be a time of sheer terror, and the things that I have seen will cause exactly that, sheer terror. LOL LOL LOL >> . . |

Re: Hey Nimby
Personally, I feel that it's in the best interest of the continued existence of mankind that we don't find intelligent life.
There's a theory about something called the Great Filter. It is the point of evolution where something either dies off, or continues to grow and evolve. It is unkown whether this filter is in our past as a natural filter through which most organisms fail to pass, or a point in our future as a societal filter. With the universe being so vast, the odds of extra terrestrial intelligent life being anywhere nearby us are very slim. Even slimmer that they'd be to the point of interstellar travel. Since the odds of such a race finding us is so small, if indeed we were visited by an alien race it would mean that there are almost certainly must be a lot of them poking around out there. If there are that many civilizations out there with that kind of technology, it greatly increases the likelihood that the Great Filter is something that occurs later in the evolutionary scale, rather than sooner. As such, it means that the humans have yet to reach this Great Filter, where we will almost certainly meet our demise. That being said, I'm not necessarily saying that humankind meeting its demise would be a bad thing...

Re: Hey Nimby
Dude. Nobody gives a fuck what you feel. Liberals write shit about how they feel. Think motherfucker, think! I didn't read the rest. TL/DR |

Re: Hey Nimby
In that context "feel" is more or less synonymous with "think." Nice mini rant though.

Re: Hey Nimby
Bullshit. Observe the rule of holes, motherfucker. You are in one, stop digging. There is no fucking context where feel = think. Shaddap a you face. |

Re: Hey Nimby
I think it's plausible, and we'd be arrogant to think otherwise. Perhaps God has a better planet with a better race on it, and he's getting ready to blow our shithole out of the sky with a big meteor or something.
