I post this stuff for lurkers—every now and then I even get a private note thanking me.

Maybe God declared into being the principles that lead to us; once for everywhere.

You have what is called an anthropocentric view.

The problem with that is that the universe is incredibly complex and almost totally unknown to us.

We have no clue what is and is not out there.

That is one reason why I post here—hopefully some folks will look at the universe with wonder and awe.

“Most sci-fi novel writers I have read over the years, WE are the ONLY intelligent species in their novels...............”

That’s because by the end of the novel we have to win.

Jack Vance is the cure for that.

He creates some amazing non-human cultures—incredible imagination and narrative skill.

Human ego always defaults back to “We’re unique!”

Our current tools suck for finding planets so you all can dismiss this bit of lefty handwringing. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence when you cannot even see what your are looking for.

Yup—if folks just have the courage to say “I don’t know” amazing things can open up for them.

ridiculous... thats like someone looking 1cm in front of them and they tell you they cant find something...

arrogant fks think they are all that because they seen a few shadows crossing distant stars and amaze the sheep with stories of found exo planets....

And you are free to do as you please. I dont claim one way or the other as to life beyond Earth. I think you need to re-read my posts. God has given me enough to wonder at without your analysis of my belief, thanks.

I don't think God makes ‘freaks’

I've lived in Hollywood and the SF Bay area, trust me, there is no shortage of freaks.

lol. I knew someone would bring up that analogy. Of course I was referencing a creation, not something that was created and spoiled by man/satan/sin/selfishness.

When you ask the wrong questions you get the wrong answers.

That would be a great tagline!
