Comment on Interesting logic

It’s really stupid to not believe in aliens given the size of the universe.
Also given the scale of time of the universe. We as humans have only existed for a small amout of time on the vast scale of things.
Countless alien civilizations may have existed and destroyed themselves, and may others may have not come into existence yet.
Revelation Space (#scifi) delves neatly into that.
I’d believe it when I see evidence. Otherwise it’s just a possibility.
alien doesn’t necessarily mean sapient, humanoid or even anything larger than a walnut. if you took life on earth as a sample of the universe it would be much more likely for an alien lifeform to be a plant or bacteria. and even an animal is more likely to be an insect than a mammal-like animal, much less anything humanoid.
(someone should look into the numbers my source is just vague memory at this point)
We are the evidence. Life can happen. It’s been proven. If it’s happening here, it’s crazy to think we are somehow special and it’s not happening somewhere else out there.
I think we should be looking inter dimensionally for alien life rather than extraterrestrial.
How?
The Orvil did a episode on that where they found a two dimensional universe with life in it. The bad part, three dimensional life cannot exist in two dimensions with a digestive track, it gets split into two parts.
I can’t imagine a forth, fifth, or sixth dimension or how a three dimensional being could survive it.
People who are interested in aliens and UFOs rarely solely make this argument. Often, they’ve encountered or somehow know of these aliens.
If aliens don’t exist, how come all the bigots keep bitching about illegal ones? 🤔
That’s a bit of an oxymorinic argument those people use. If an inteligent species dropped by and had ONE look around, they would NOT turn on their high beams.
If an intelligent species was able to travel the distance to actually reach us that’d mean they are far far far far beyond our technological capacity. It’d be game over if aliens ever reached us.
Ancient alien theorists say yes
“Earth First” is an interesting and compelling explanation for the Fermi Paradox.

It’s really stupid to believe aliens visited earth given the size of the universe.

What about the American people constantly complaining about aliens illegally entering their country? Explain this!

Those are 2 completely different statements.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 6 days ago
It wasn’t a refutation. It was added information.

Sorry I was not 100% sure so I figured I’d resoond just in case.

Comments should come with this disclaimer. People get so upset when you continue the discussion for no reason.

Yeah the idea that aliens exist but haven’t been here yet is basically the plot of the awesome series

I also agree with this statement, although it’s well within the realm of possibility that life on Earth was seeded by an ancient extraterrestrial civilization. That’s a timescale of a few billion years.
But it’s still not as stupid as thinking that the supreme creator of the infinite universe has a personal interest in your actions.

That would make some sense if not for overwhelming proof of evolution of both, animals and nature

I like to entertain the idea that something similar to mushroom spores were emitted throughout a part of space and mostly didn’t work but, where it did, life was ready to ride evolution all over again from just the basics. Just fun to think about. I’m not a witch, don’t burn me
