Aliens

[Iwritecode]

Honestly, I have to question the basic sense of anyone who can take a step back and look at the world objectively, and not be utterly mesmerized at how bad a species we are. We cling to stone age superstition, we celebrate greed, we have a planet unnecessarily rife with war and poverty, despite the enormous advancements we've made and the information that's freely available to us. As a species, we suck balls. Giant balls. I would think that a more advanced civilization (advanced enough to observe us) would be disgusted with us. Not the planet, just the human race.

I'm not depressed at all, I just think these things are pretty evident.

I actually thought you were going with the theory shown at the end of Men In Black where our entire universe is just a marble in some other alien existence and that the alien beings pay us no mind since we are so insignificant to them.

'Hand of God' spotted by NASA space telescope

Religion and astronomy may not overlap often, but a new NASA X-ray image captures a celestial object that resembles the "Hand of God."

The cosmic "hand of God" photo was produced when a star exploded and ejected an enormous cloud of material, which NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, glimpsed in high-energy X-rays, shown in blue in the photo. NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory had imaged the green and red parts previously, using lower-energy X-rays.

The other thing people seem to fail to consider is that life may evolve on other planets in different ways under different conditions.... people look for planets in the "Goldylocks" zone where its the right temperature for liquid water so that life might have evolved and developed on those planets just like ours, but who is to say life cannot happen on other planets under a wider range of conditions? Who is to say all life in the universe will look just like life on earth? Who is to say some planet couldn't have life based on some other foundation other than water and carbon? I am no expert on the subject, but researchers are looking for other humans or humanoids and thus they are looking for conditions matching our planet, but it does not mean life could not exist under different conditions than the "Goldylocks" zone.

I got into an argument with a coworker who teaches physics about this. He was saying that it has to be a carbon life form, and I kept asking why? Now, if you want to argue that a non-carbon life form couldn't live on Earth...sure, I'll buy that.

It looks like God decided to celebrate Alshon's TD catch in the back of the end zone, permanently.

Lol always goes back to political. Im sure there are aliens somewhere. Ill never see them in my lifetime. So, I just drink and smash snatch. Seems easier to comprehend.

Yeah I mean I understand our scientists looking for carbon life forms since thats what we are and that is the type of life they know enough about to predict the conditions necessary for it to form and evolve and whatnot, but idk how you can say carbon life forms are the only possible ones... when the universe is filled with such limitless possibilities and if there were a non-carbon based life form it would form and exist in a way we could not possibly conceive of. Perhaps there is science that proves or attempts to prove non-carbon based life is impossible but it seems like a suspect concept to me.
