I’m optimistic by nature—as a scientist, you have to be. But my hopeful feeling is not wishful thinking; it is firmly grounded in the logic of SETI. Half a century sounds like a long time, but the search is truly in its early days. Given the current state of SETI efforts and abilities, I feel that we’re on the cusp of learning something truly revolutionary.

Now, why is it...that whenever there is an alien thread - which is already borderline tinfoil hat stuff anyway - and I post the pic positing that aliens are demons, that people think *I* am the crazy one?
Well we have 2 spacecrafts that have now traveled to the end of our solar system (42 years now) and so far no evidence of any aliens, at least that we have heard about.
Over a hundred billion stars, possibly in our galaxy alone. What are you trying to say, that aliens might be demons?
I’m not sure. However I would point out we DID have a verified extraterrestrial being visit earth and lived here for a short while (a little over 3 decades) and brought wonderful news and medical healings but unfortunately they crucified Him.
Both Voyager 1 was built to explore the outer solar system, Voyager 2 was built to explore the outer planets. Neither was designed to look out into interstellar space.
Sure. Considering all the problems with travel at light speed, the vast distance between stars, and a zillion other factors, demons seem like a more plausible hypothesis.
I never said I believed in interplanetary travel either.
My guess is most of what are considered UFOs are really our own aircraft.
I cannot imagine what beings from so far away would have any interest in us—other than as a source of protein.
There has not been enough time.
Shuffle a deck of cards. Deal five cards face up. If you do not deal a royal flush then re-shuffle and try again.
After you’ve dealt a royal flush buy a lottery ticket. If the lottery ticket doesn’t win the top prize then start over shuffling cards. If the lottery ticket wins the top prize then take a teaspoon of water from the world’s oceans, lakes and rivers and put aside.
Now, start from the beginning and repeat until the oceans, lakes and rivers are dry.
When the oceans, lakes, and rivers are dry place a sheet of paper on the ground.
Repeat all of the above steps placing the second sheet of paper atop the first and so on.
When you have a stack of papers that reaches to the moon then enough time will have passed to allow for life to arise spontaneously.
we already have plenty of valid evidence of aliens- there’s somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 million of them here in the US- illegal ones!
Yup.
I believe God exists and God believes demons exist.
You got that right.
“I believe God exists and God believes demons exist.”
And Demons knew exactly who Jesus was.
In 1965 or so, an article in Popular Mechanics or Popular Science said we would have evidence of the Yeti within 20 years.
Still waiting.
Collapse from war/ pollution/disease AND the alien equivalent of Democrats will make that window shrink to near zero! ;)
And then, The Great Pumpkin will rise...

lyrics: what are these creatures that so confound us from moth man to the Chupacabra the bigfoot that some call a sasquatch legendary icons like monster mascots the loch ness monster the jersey devil creepy shadow people that’ll make you tremble paranormal species on every level when they’re unleashed it’s like transcendental we haven’t even started with the alien question not to mention the fact they meet expectations observer effect it’s that spooky action an electron photon quantum reaction so often they appear as what people imagine to fit our beliefs it’s how they’re fashioned the time and the culture from which they’re choosing so many costumes from which to choose from…
Consider that there maybe many extraterrestrial civilizations, but with the time required for radio waves or even light to reach us means we are looking at their past. For example our earliest radio transmissions are just now reaching interstellar distances. The puny radio transmissions from say the Titanic sinking might be too feeble to even be recognized by far off civilizations who might just now be receiving them. For us to find alien civilizations we would likely be looking for civilizations far more advanced than our own.
