THE FACTS
The Milky Way Galaxy has 100-400 billion stars (suns) Est. 8 trillion planets (Earth is 1) Galaxies Observable Universe: Est. 200-billion to two-trillion galaxies. The milky Way is just one. Faint, un-observable galaxies: 6 to 20 trillion
Knowing this information… well, only fools and idiots could even entertain an idea the earth and its inhabitants are the only living, intelligent species. It is irrational, insane, an indefensible idea that we are alone. We couldn’t be.
In science, the probability of us NOT being alone is a statistical “absolute”! We aren’t alone.
This leads us to only one question: Who, on earth, is preventing us from full disclosure? What are their names? It is time they all stepped aside. Relieve them of all responsibility, all power, all control mechanisms.
Any human being standing against full disclosure is essentially resigning from their post. Relieved of duty. Politely asked to step aside, take a seat and STFU. It’s just time for this.
Anyone disagree?
Okay dokey, then standing in stark contrast, what is your starting assumption you base your ideas from? Please share.
I've made no assumptions. I have stated the facts. A mechanism must be identified before a probability can be assessed. In the absence of a mechanism, there is baseless postulation.
There are two options. Either life arrived naturally or not. If natural, there is no known mechanism to prove it. If supernatural, there is no way to prove it.
It's too radical to consider life could have always existed along with stars and everything else?
Not radical. It is unscientific. Entropy always increases in a closed system. If there is an infinite past, we would be in a state of entropy death an infinite time in the past. It is illogical and outside of natural law. It is possible if you suspend thermodynamics (supernatural).
How could an infinite universe with no beginning be called closed?
One starting assumption is that there are certain conditions necessary for life on a planet.
Rare Earth is listed in Case For A Creator, by Lee Strobel, written by a geologist, Peter D. Ward and an astronomer, Donald Brownlee
Chapter 7, The Evidence of Astronomy: (Case For A Creator)
There are a variety of constants that need to be present for life:
26 essential elements for humans, about sixteen for most bacteria
Remaining in the Galactic Habitable Zone for enough time for life to develop
Planet in a spiral galaxy, as opposed to the other three types
Between the arms of the galaxy, rather than in the arms
Not too close to the center of the galaxy, where the black holes are.
A stable orbit around a planet's sun.
Thank you for asking, I had quite a bit of fun answering this!
Wow, I didn't expect such a well thought-out response. Thanks. I agree entirely with your response... however, it is confined to earth, earth atomosphere and the homeosapien design.
I think my point was, that other variations of intelligence species are absolutely out there.... designed around completely different environments and atomospheres, yet still intelligent life forms. The physical body is just a suit to house a soul. The soul is eternal. The body is not. Just like we can change clothes, souls can wear many suits.
Humans can't exist near sulfur blow-holes at the bottom of the ocean, fish can't either... yet, there are creatures that do exist there and thrive.
Think like a creator! In the extreme vastness of our universe... would you only give your design one implementation? One and done? Or would you created endless variations and see how they adapt?
You have made a good point , more details on the answer can be found in the two books I suggested.
