“pretty confident about a place that is detected only by a computer analyzing the fluctuations of a star's light waves.”

So, ONLY by a computer analyzing the fluctuations of a star's light waves, we now KNOW there is HUMAN life elsewhere? LOL!

Is it any wonder the U.S. continues to tank WORLD WIDE in Math and Science. All they have done is used FINITE HUMAN knowledge, which is behind the scenes in ANY computer program to determine HUMAN LIFE on another planet. This is the height of arrogance. Any computer will only do what is is PRGRAMMED to do by a HUMAN being. I suppose circular logic doesn't get in the way of truth. Could we send liberals up there to test this out?

He didn't say human life, he just said life. He could be speaking of nothing more advanced than microbial mats.

To be fair, I don’t believe they said “human life”, or even “intelligent life”.

Perhaps microbes, though we haven’t found even any of those...
