Humans May Be the Only Intelligent Life in the Universe, If Evolution Has Anything to Say.

Given a class "M" planet, and enough time, it's like monkeys typing Shakespeare

Someone tried an experiment to see if monkeys really could type Shakespeare.

So they put keyboards in the cages to monitor the random keystrokes of the monkeys to determine the probability of an actual legible word or sentence

They terminated the experiment when they found all the monkeys would do is shit all over the keyboard

Means nothing if you’re capable of understanding the SIZE OF THE UNIVERSE.

Take a box with 6.02 X 10^23 particles in it (one mole). And particles are constantly bumping into each other.
Take those particles and spread them out through the universe, and suddenly each particle thinks it's alone.

It depends when you look. Earth has had intelligent life for only 0.000005th of it's habitable existence. On that time scale, if you blink you could have missed it.

But offset that against the sheer size of the universe, and how many habitable planets exist. Maybe the question should be, is there intelligent life, within range of our detection

But the range of our detection may be as small as the length of time intelligent life has existed on earth.

The original thought experiment involved monkeys on typewriters. Given the virtual non-existence of typewriters today, I would think a new experiment should be done with monkeys on iPhones and Twitter. See if they can post something intelligent in 144 (now 288) characters, other than covfefe.

Questionable. The distance to detect confirmable intelligent life may be only how far a radio signal can travel. Beyond that, it's only speculation

The most distant potentially habitable planet confirmed is Kepler-443b, at 2,540 light-years distant, although the unconfirmed planet KOI-5889.01 is over 5,000 light-years distant. Least distant Proxima Centauri b and c: Proxima Centauri: 4.22 light years

With the number of habitable planets in the galaxy, no less universe, over a time span of billions of years you can't say earth would be unique.

Unfortunately statistics doesn't produce life.

Life was created by a series of events that are so complicated that we can't replicate them in a laboratory.

We are biased because we live where life was created so of course we think it is a common occurrence. However, it may be that it has never happened before.

This video explains it much better than I could.

Watching devout evolutionists wrestle with their irreconcilable contradictions is like watching two-year-olds discover that a stove is hot. Are the rest of us supposed to be impressed?

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

The center of the Milky Way galaxy is about 27,000 light years away.
So, if you could travel at the speed of light, it would take 27,000 years to get there.
The point is that the distances between habitable planets are too great for humans to every travel to them.
And the same goes for other beings to travel to earth.
Homo Sapiens have only been around for about 250,000 years.
We will be extinct long before we could travel to other galaxies and planets.
So extraterrestrial visits will always be a theoretical issue.

You got it backwards. Can you even tell us what the Fermi Paradox is?

The Bible states what God created in the universe. He didn't state that he created intelligent life elsewhere, so this report backs up the Bible again. Now, we should ask if we could live elsewhere in the universe?

 

[Mindful]

I’m looking into it.

Then what’s with all the ufos?

"UFO" does not equal 'other worldly' any more than "illegal alien" means those crossing our borders improperly are 'other worldly'...a "UFO" is just an aircraft/object that went unidentified and was not properly I.D.ed...NOTHING MORE.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Then what’s with all the ufos?

Just stuff we can't identify. Optical illusions, inanimate objects, etc

Setting up conditions for sustainable life is the exception, not the rule

Maybe so, but when there are trillions of trillions of planets over the life of the universe, that's a LOT of exceptions.

With the number of planets that are highly likely in the entire universe being TNTC (too numerous to count), the likelihood of there being intelligent life on many planets, is high. However, due to the time it takes for radio signals travelling at the speed of light to travel the universe, our radio/tv signals have only gotten a mere 70+ light years away from our planet, so no one has had the opportunity to even hear our radio/tv broadcasts. For that matter, just because we use radio signals for broadcasting, doesn't mean a highly developed civilization will be using a similar method of broadcasting.

We know what it takes to have life, but these trillions and trillions of planets do not have it like Earth. It means Earth is the ONLY exception. Get it now? Nope.

You still hold out hope for evolution, but it's a LIE!

You could not possibly know that.

And even if you did, you would only be talking about life exactly as it formed and appears on earth. So you still would have said virtually nothing.

We know that it's not evolution lol. It's creation and Earth, the only place in the universe with life, any kind of life. What are our exploration of other planets and moons discovering? That we can't live elsewhere. I doubt we can take microbial life and put them on other planets and they survive.

NASA is scared of sending humans to Mars.

Exactly!

If the sun was the size of a golf ball the nearest star would be 760 miles away. The earth would be the size of a pea. The scale of a spaceship the size of an atom.

We have been brainwashed with 100 years of Science Fiction so we all think interstellar travel is absolutely possible.

It would take all the power generated on earth for three years to accelerate a shuttle size space craft to 1/3rd the speed of light.

Interstellar travel ain't gonna happen.

Well, tell me where NASA is going to send humans next? Are they going to stay for over a week? Nope.
