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

Do you believe the people who claim they have been abducted?
What Difference Does It Make
Abductees Don't Know What The Abductors Are
Or Where They're From
 
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.
Well, the headline is misleading. The NASA administrators comment was:

"“I don’t think extraterrestrial life has ever visited this planet"
Yet they cannot even prove that life on earth, originated on earth. Our oldest native ancestors might in fact be "extraterrestrials"...

On a cellular level, you might be correct. It is a competing theory on the origin of life on Earth.
 


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.
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
What’s the probability of atoms writing Beethoven’s 5th? Because that’s what we’re talking about here.
Pretty darn good; since a collection of atoms did just that...

Evolutionarily, We Are Exactly The Same Today
As Mere 5,000yrs Ago
Their Geniuses Had The Same Brains As Our Geniuses
 
If they do come here, I will threaten to engage the Corbomite Maneuver.

So what? Such a thing would not have to be proven for abiogenis to be a foregone conclusion, or for one to determine that life has likely formed more than once in the universe.

"Oldest native ancestors"

Why would there be any need of aliens to exain such a thing? We can follow the evolution of all apes, including humans, on a smooth continuum back through the fossil record.

Really!?

So all I need to do is put the equivalent amount of atoms in a Tupperware bowl and it writes music!

Our oldest native ancestors go much, much farther back than apes...

Were the atoms that did what you ask; placed in a Tupperware bowl?

Yes, any two species on Earth share a common ancestor. That's one of the fundamental ideas of evolution. So what you just said still doesn't have much bearing on anything.

Given enough atoms, enough time, enough sex, and enough death... atoms can do a lot. They can even invent Tupperware (tm).

So have ice, and amino acids. What's your point?


What's yours? I made my point...there is no need of your alien hypothesis to explain anything at all.

...anymore than the need for native genesis...
Existence is. It needs not...

Actually, people were smarter 5,000 years ago. Part of the decay process of nature.
