or it could solve a bunch of long established massive problems.

Honestly though, religions would adapt. There are plenty of facts that already debunk religions. They just blindly ignore those facts and live on willfully ignorant.

where there's water, there is life

lol

Yes, there's probably other intelligent life in the universe. It's a big place out there, maybe even an infinitely big place. There's bound to be something intelligent other than us. However, I'm sure it will be nothing like us. It might barely even be recognizable as a life-form, or undetectable to us (floating on gas giants, made from xenon, eat gravity fields, dark matter-based?).

And consider how briefly humanity has been in its current stage. We've been Homo sapiens sapiens for what, two hundred thousand years? And we've only been doing anything resembling civilization for a small part of that. Soon, we'll probably either hit the technological singularity, or wipe ourselves out first (maybe even both at the same time!). So, assuming other alien species follow a roughly similar developmental timeframe - which is a big assumption - it would be sensible to assume that most of them are far more primitive than we are, or far more advanced. The amount of civilizations on our level will be an incredibly tiny fraction.

We might be alone in the Milky Way, or even the Virgo supercluster. But I'm sure there's life out there. The question is, where? I don't think we're ready to know that for sure, yet.

NASA's deep space communications center is here on Fort Irwin

I've never got this.

You're judging the ingredients for life on our own very specific set of rules. It's an ignorant view.

We aren't venturing out into "alien" territory because it's "familiar"

Says the guy posting NASA articles regarding aliens on a rap battle site.

> Implying that NASA is a conspiracy theory website. :S

hella salt being thrown back and forth here.

you dont need Nasa to tell us aliens exist...They exist whether nasa says they do or not..

I didn't imply that. That's just the way you took it. I meant what you said is pretty stupid..... trying to insult someone by saying they visit conspiracy websites full of nut jobs, yet you're here posting about aliens. Dipshit.:fyou:
