I know this for a fact.
Edit: Apparently people actually took this thread seriously and didn't understand the underlying satire.

Who's to say we don't all doesn't exist?
-
Life exists here, therefor its a safe assumption that it exists elsewhere. If there were omnipotent beings here, I would assume they are elsewhere. There aren't, therefor there aren't elsewhere as well.

Edited by SexyPiranha: 5/12/2014 10:09:40 PMI think I know where you're going with this thread. Here's why it's fallacious. The possibility of extraterrestrial life is helped along by that fact that we know of possible mechanisms by which it could have arisen(those being the same or roughly the same as the ones by which life on Earth may have arisen). http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis (go to current model) Then there's our knowledge of stellar evolution and planetary formation which suggests, along with the sheer ridiculous number of exo planets we've found, that planets outnumber the stars in our Universe. Due to the huge numbers involved, planets with favorable conditions for life as we know it are a statistical inevitability(let's not forget the possibility of life not as we know it). If chemistry acts the same across our universe(as the Copernican principle says it should) then extraterrestrial life is rendered statistically likely. Far from a faith based claim.

Somewhat relevant.

Bait ! *casts line into thread* Who said that God isn't an alien?
-
The cool thing about science, it is real even if you do not believe it. The cool thing about religion, they are all bullshit fairy tales no matter what.
-
Then why are you here
-
I can't believe people actually believe this. Scientists have observed around 10^26 stars. How many of those stars have planets, how many of those planets could be in the habitable zone? To say that there isn't even the chance of microorganisms existing on some distant planet, planetoid, or asteroid is laughable.

I'll have you know I have been anally probed multiple times by aliens. But it's kind of strange, i'm always taken to the same sleezy motel room after being given a drink and they always look like homeless guys... Joking, obviously. I'm too paranoid to be drugged without knowing it. :P

B8 If I put a bucket in the ocean and catch no fish, does that mean there's no fish in the ocean?

Edited by DTL: 5/12/2014 1:08:37 AMRead a question on reddit last week that got me thinking.. What if the planets we're seeing from within our universe actually have fully functioning populations today, but because of the distance, we're seeing that planet millions of years before that population began?

itt: thinly-veiled jabs at atheists
-
I think these types of threads are getting rather old...
-
Can you prove there isn't extraterrestrial life out there?
-
But the guy on TV said...
-
See kids, this is not how you do trolling.
-
There is an extraterrestial in my bum. Your argument is invalid.
-
Lies!

>implying autistic people aren't extra terrestrial

Wow, all the notifications over night. If you all didn't notice, the thread was satire mocking atheists and their argument that in order to believe something like God, you alone have to give evidence. I hope some of you are atheists and bit on the bait.
