    Which Hollywood movie did you get this from? Or do the aliens speak to you directly?

    You said you were skeptic. That's all I need to know. It should be a no brainer for an atheist.

    Your argument for the night sky is just a theory. So it's can be scrutinized. Nice try though cuttie

    There is what I wrote, and then there is the mags transformation of it into something else.

    Even NASA confirms its a theory. Until you have enough empirical evidence to say otherwise, then it can be argued against.

    You've convinced me you know more than NASA experts about their area of expertise.

    Sweet now just admit you are a fool for even doubting intelligent life outside our solar system exists and we can move along

    Oh well shit man, let's stop researching black holes and multiverses then. Oh wait, there are still money spent on these projects! Go figure?!??

    Has it ever occurred to you that light can bend?

    You want me to say whatever words you want to attribute to me?

    Right! :lol:

    I don't doubt life exists outside our solar system. It just may be so rare that the nearest life to us might be so far away we can't easily detect it.

    Glad we could change your opinion, from being skeptical, to having no doubt Denny... ;) This is what you posted earlier in this thread. It seem jlpk and I smacked you around good enough for you to finally change your opinion.

    CHECKMATE

    Ah the "you don't understand me" argument.

    What's not to understand Denny? You said you were skeptical, with a probability of less than 1, and now you say "I have no doubt life exists outside this planet". Seems you may be the one that doesn't understand yourself...

    Not exactly. The comprehension thing is clearly a problem you have. You've attributed statements to me, jlprk, and Tlong in this thread that we haven't written.

    You said NASA says it's a theory, when they didn't.

    I'm skeptical we're going to find life as easily as scientists claim. Seth Shostak of SETI says he's certain they will find intelligent life outside of earth within a decade. I'm dubious.

    Now do your thing and quote me and outright lie about what I really wrote. It's your M.O.

    And a probability of less than 1 does not mean "no chance at all." It means "small chance" and "rare result."

    I quoted your entire post. Did I change anything? Did you not say you were skeptical with a probability of less than 1? Did you just not recently say you don't doubt life exists outside our solar system?

    What am I mis-quoting?

    Nice back peddle. Arguing with jlpk about that probability being "un-probable" leans more towards you not believing than actually believing. But I commend myself and jlpk for changing your mind. When you say "I don't doubt", that means an absolute probability.

    You quoted me saying not at all what you keep claiming I've said.

    You quoted the nat geo article (or whatever that source was) and completely ignored what it actually said and went on blabbering that it said something else entirely. You claimed NASA said their explanation about the night sky is a theory (not that you've demonstrated you understand what a scientific theory actually is) when it said no such thing.

    It's a consistent failure On your part.

    My skepticism is not a thing of disbelief, it is one of requiring hard proof.

    Absolute probability is an oxymoron.

    You have no clue about what probable means.

    You're just digging your already deep hole even deeper.

    With two dice there is a 1:36 chance of rolling snake eyes, and 1:6 of rolling a 6. If you roll the dice, you may not roll either. The 1:6 is improbable, not impossible like you seem to believe.

    I've written what I believe several times now. Not once have I posted conflicting positions.

    Comprendo? Yet?
