We Are Alone in the Universe!

[Ratt Blastard]

There is absolutely no evidence that intelligent and/or complex life exists elsewhere in the universe. So we must assume that we are alone in the universe and must be the only intelligent life that exist in it. Couple that with my belief that God does not exist, I feel somewhat sad and more convince that life is indeed absurd.

That we don't currently have evidence for other life doesn't mean it doesn't exist. So we have no reason to assume that's the case. The jury is just still out.

Well, that's disappointing.

I guess we can turn the lights off and shut down the forum now.

Thank you everybody for your contributions!!

People have been using that as an argument for theism and it is still a fallacy. I guess the jury is still out on the existence of Invisible Pink Unicorns and Zeus.

At least we know why they aren't showing up when we keep inviting them.

In 1900 there was no evidence of black holes. So I guess they didn't exist until what...1916?

Correct. We have no clue whether invisible pink unicorns, or Zeus, exist somewhere that we haven't looked. That's not an "excuse" for theism, it's just a statement of what we don't know.

Are you kidding me? Look at this place! It's a mess!

If you were invited to a house where everybody was polluting, arguing, fighting, and disagreeing, would you want to go?

As intelligent beings we must assume that we don't know if there is other Intelligent life in the universe.

I look at it this way, it seems that entropy is the force driving life to form, entropy is happening everywhere. So given the number of planets that could possibly be habitable it seems an awful waste of space if no other life has evolved.

Is it statistically probable that Invisible Pink Unicorns or Zeus exist or is it statistically improbable that they exist? I highly doubt Invisible Pink Unicorns can exist. They are an absurdity and so is intelligent life on other planets.

Why would it be a waste of space?

Yup, just like the sun revolved around the earth until Copernicus was born, at which time the sun and earth traded places just to confuse everybody.

I'd say statistically improbable. But you can't go from "statistically improbable" to "definitely doesn't exist."

I highly doubt Invisible Pink Unicorns can exist. They are an absurdity and so is intelligent life on other planets.

How did you reach the second half there? How is intelligent life on other planets absurd?

There was evidence and people didn't see it yet. This isn't just about that lack of evidence that intelligent alien life but the ample evidence that intelligent alien life does not exist.

There is so much of it, and one small, insignificant planet with life?

There's always been ample evidence that the sun revolves around the Earth, like the fact that if you look up in the sky that's what it looks like it's doing.

Such as?

Are you seriously comparing the probability of the existence of pink unicorns to the probability of intelligent life on other planets?

What are your thoughts on the probability of pink unicorns on other planets?

But look what it took for life on earth to evolve, all the phenomena that it took to just to get a few amino acid going. What are the chances of that being replicated over and over again throughout the whole universe?

There is no evidence for either, both are statistically improbable.
