Re: Extraterrestrial Sightings
There is talk of the black holes being portals. There is talk of alien habitation on the dark side of the moon. What does the folklore repesent? Could be dimensions. Tbf there is lot of unexplainable questions.
Maybe on June 25th we get some answers. Maybe....

Re: Extraterrestrial Sightings
As much as 85% of the universe is classified as “dark matter” which “basically” means they don’t understand it as all known matter interacts with light. Every day we discover hundreds of new exo-planets and we can basically only find planets the size of Jupiter that orbit very closely to very small stars. And still yet, every year we still find life on places on Earth we never knew life could exist.
Life doesn’t have to conform to our understanding of what it requires to exist. The chances there is no additional life in the Universe is effectively zero. Divide anything by infinity and it approaches zero.

Re: Extraterrestrial Sightings
Greg has done a TON of research on this subject and we have had some conversations going back 10-15 years on this board. So I want this to come off in the most respectful manner possible. His math and research comes from the slant of someone that is a creationist and intending to disprove the chance of life elsewhere. In that regard he does a fantastic job. It is an entirely valid and well thought out manner of doing so, but it does come from a place of pigeon-holing life into a neat little box.
There does however also exist a group of scientists and mathematicians that simply feel that our knowledge and understanding of how things work is so limited that we are not yet qualified to discuss in those terms. So it is simply a matter of Hubris vs humility.
I believe you and I both fit into the second category, and there are plenty of legitimate scientists that also ascribe to that theory. Personally, I find the Hubris of today’s scientists insufferable. On a personal level that may not be the case, but at the institutional level as reported in the mass media, that is absolutely the case. Newton thought he had it all figured out until Einstein Proved he missed a major variable in his equations. I have no doubt that eventually someone will do the same for Einstein and it will again further our understanding of the Universe. The fact that the Micro and the Macro are currently incompatible simply means that we as of yet lack the understanding to tie them together.

Re: Extraterrestrial Sightings
Our planet has some special properties, like a magnetic field, that shields us from damaging solar winds and make it very suitable for life. A lot of things have to go right for a planet to sustain life such as ours.

Re: Extraterrestrial Sightings
I don't see how a creationist view limits life to only this planet.
I mean, one of the arguments for non-creationist view is that the random chance of life occurring at all is so rare were on the only (or one of the only) places it could happen.
If that's the case, wouldn't intelligent life elsewhere eliminate that and point to a creator?

Re: Extraterrestrial Sightings
I'm just saying there are some not so obvious properties our planet possesses that were they not present might mean the difference between us being a lifeless planet and one where just about every nook and cranny has something living in it.
You also have to realize what in insignificant amount of time we've been around and look at all the extinction events that have occurred on our planet. The odds of two similar civilizations existing simultaneously in time might be astronomically low. We could all perish by our own collective hand or die in an asteroid collision and we will have been a blip in the continuum of space time.
While we are at it, I don't think we really want to meet up with another civilization because I am of the school of thought of Stephen Hawking that believes might be like pond scum to them. Think on our own planet of what happens whenever land bridges are formed or human beings have been able to meet for the first time after just several thousands of years of separation.... it usually ends up with a mass extinction through disease or conquest. That's likely exactly what would happen and I'm guessing we would be the one's on the shit end of that stick.

Re: Extraterrestrial Sightings
This is basically what I came to say. I am a creationist as well, and if anything it expands the realm of what I think is possible. It's interesting that it seems like it does the opposite for you, or maybe I'm not understanding what you're saying?
