    Where Is Everybody? Where Are The Aliens?

    There are at least 800 Octillion Stars in the known Universe... *800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

    Referring to a single article on the SETI website does not constitute "research"...

    Where Is Everybody? Where Are The Aliens?

    Quite simply, Fermi's Paradox is based on a whole handful of misnomers. It's a great thought puzzle, if you accept those misnomers. But it's little more than that. (What those misnomers; ie, flaws are; have been spelled out many times in the first responses to you.) It comes from a reasonable...

    Where Is Everybody? Where Are The Aliens?

    I think your biggest misunderstanding about Evolutionary Biology is that it is linear, with organisms like Man being the pinnacle. That's simply not how it works - and I would expand to say that's probably why you have such a hard time accepting the Science behind it in the first place. We are...

    Where Is Everybody? Where Are The Aliens?

    Both you and Tom are only focusing on one part of this argument for some reason... I'll address Methane's state, but I'm asking you to look at the location and spectrometry of microbial mats in relation to these outgassings of Methane. Do that first, and then tell me I'm just blowing gas. ;)...

    Indeed - but emitted gaseous methane in concentration is not generally found without a biological precursor. Even our gaseous under-sea emissions primarily have biological sources. The releases on Mars are not isolated and they are consistent. They are also located near areas where the other...

    Bacterial mats cannot exist without... bacteria. Methane gas (CH4) is emitted by the breakdown of biological matter. Where does methane come from Microbial mat - Wikipedia

    Where Is Everybody? Where Are The Aliens?

    Dude... Nothing that I just wrote was about evidence for water. It was about evidence for the remnants of biological processes.

    Where Is Everybody? Where Are The Aliens?

    Nope. That's a gross mischaracterization of biology. Again, nope. One isn't trying to... One needs only understand the basics of Biology to know this. Again, nope. Getting a math problem wrong doesn't make Astrologers more right... You mean, regular extinction? No. Distance and Time are...

    The studied sites are in the basins of those lakebeds and warm springs, if that's not now abundantly clear.

    Where Is Everybody? Where Are The Aliens?

    So, you still just reading that one article...? Perhaps you should really consider what it is that you're saying...? If an advanced civilization was doing well 200,000 years ago, could early Man have known about it? If they went extinct anytime before our last 100 years or so, how would we...

    Where Is Everybody? Where Are The Aliens?

    List of exoplanets - Wikipedia "As of 1 February 2018 there are 3,588 confirmed exoplanets..." The frist exoplanet was discovered in 1992. That's an average discovery rate of 132 per year. We confirmed the existence of 1,300 in 2016 alone. Ignorance does not equate to emptiness.

    Conflict is certainly a hindrance to exploration on all the populated planets we know of...

    Where Is Everybody? Where Are The Aliens?

    Why would you assume I was talking about water? There's water all over the Solar System, in great quantities... No one should assume that water = life... On that point, and because the time lapse between actual discovery and public release for dissemination is so similar... Water is what people...

    Scary Trump: Fails Basic Literacy Test; Way Of Speaking Is "Oddly Adolescent"

    Where Is Everybody? Where Are The Aliens?

    Another side note - we don't need to contact an advanced Alien Civilization in order to posit that life exists elsewhere in the Universe... There's enough evidence from the ancient lake beds and hot springs on Mars that I don't have a problem saying that former life has already been discovered...

    Scary Trump: Fails Basic Literacy Test; Way Of Speaking Is "Oddly Adolescent"

    To be fair, our whole society is pretty adolescent... Garbage in - garbage out.

    Where Is Everybody? Where Are The Aliens?

    Things in Space are REALLY far apart, right? So far apart, in fact, that bumping into each other (assuming there are others to bump into) would be a ridiculously rare occurrence. Even if we imagine that all supposed extra terrestrial species took an evolutionary path similar to ours, how long...

    Where Is Everybody? Where Are The Aliens?

    How do you quantify that statement? What is "enough time" to you? Why do you think that? Given the expanse that needs to be searched, the limitations of our vision, and the often-overlooked necessity for civilizations to coexist and have evolved to the same point at the same period in history...

    Is Chief Wahoo a Racist Caricature?

    I agree with most of this; even old Grandma and her passive use of the "N" word... Blatantly purposeful negative depictions have no real place as official logos, or in casual society, really. I completely agree with that. But I just, honestly, don't see most of these logos as being negative...
