‘There’s a Chance’ of Alien Life Out There, But it Hasn’t Visited Earth.

 

[CarlinAnnArbor]

"Aliens" HAVE visited earth, but the left, who usually believes in such nonsense, doesn't want to believe THESE beings exist.

4 Then I looked, and behold, a whirlwind was coming out of the north, a great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself; and brightness was all around it and radiating out of its midst like the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire.

5 Also from within it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.

6 Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings.

7 Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the soles of calves' feet. They sparkled like the color of burnished bronze.

8 The hands of a man were under their wings on their four sides; and each of the four had faces and wings.

9 Their wings touched one another. The creatures did not turn when they went, but each one went straight forward.

10 As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man; each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle.

11 Thus were their faces. Their wings stretched upward; two wings of each one touched one another, and two covered their bodies.

12 And each one went straight forward; they went wherever the spirit wanted to go, and they did not turn when they went.

13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches going back and forth among the living creatures. The fire was bright, and out of the fire went lightning.

14 And the living creatures ran back and forth, in appearance like a flash of lightning. Ezekiel 1:4-14

That makes no sense. If there is a chance of Alien life outside of the Earth, it would be impossible to prove those Aliens have not visited Earth.

 

[rightwinger]

Sounds about right

Well, the headline is misleading. The NASA administrators comment was:

"“I don’t think extraterrestrial life has ever visited this planet"

Nobody in NASA has a clue if there is life outside Earth.

None of the scientists have any more valid information on that than any other human because right now we only have one data point and that is earth.

Until we get another data point from some place else all we have are jackshit guesses.

We can see this, when they say "there is a chance of" instead of "there is".

NASA lost all credibility with me when they were caught fudging temperature data to promote man made global warming, errrr, climate change, and the devastating economic solutions big government always wants. That, in addition to their "Muslim Outreach" Mission made me realize they were just another corrupt government agency. A far cry from "The Right Stuff".

Well good, then we won't have to scroll past any more of your ridiculous postings in this thread. Always look at the bright side!

What's really going to be both fascinating and disappointing is when (okay, if) we find life elsewhere...and it's DNA based.

NASA deals in probabilities

They look at the vastness of the universe and calculate the probability of the existence of life.

Then they look at the vastness of the universe and calculate the improbability of ever getting there

Agree. Science deals frequently with inferences, inductive logic, and “concludes” with probabilities that a hypothesis may be true, or not.
Replication of methods & data are important to increase certainty.
In the case of intelligent “aliens”, there is nothing to replicate, only inference.

What’s the probability of atoms writing Beethoven’s 5th? Because that’s what we’re talking about here.

NASA can’t even put a man in space.

They have put several...

Correct. In order to do any valid probability assumption you need a data population with more than one data point. Until we find life elsewhere no probability projection is valid. It doesn't make any difference if a NASA rocket scientist is making the assumption or not.

The problem with people making a statistical inference that we are not alone in this universe is that they have been brainwashed by Science Fiction. Everybody just knows that there must be other life in the universe because they have seen it so many times in movies and on TV and read it in books. However, Science doesn't support it until we learn more like finding life elsewhere.

NASA, (along with NOAA and even our national labs) sold their credibility for government funding. They have been caught creating bogus data in order to appease their customer, which in the case of AGW research, was the Obama administration.

The probability of atoms writing Beethoven’s 5th is 100%.
Beethoven’s brain was made up of atoms.

NASA and NOAA. Two agencies we rely upon to be NON-POLITICAL, yet under Obama became extremely activist and political. Along with the IRS, EPA, Interior, and most of all the DOJ Obama politicized these agencies to punish his enemies, and to promote his agenda of LIES like man made global warming. We are still paying for it.

Not necessarily life itself, but astrobiologists also look for biosignatures, or components of life as we know it.
