We have an entire generation that now believes aliens are scattered throughout the galaxy, and we can hop into our starship and go visit them in a matter of hours.This is an example of "faith" in the leftWhich is why it is absurd beyond reason to say we are the only planet with life forms.half of mankind is in denial mode like the op that there are alien life forms out there that hover in our sky’s observing us everyday with ships that are a thousand times more advanced than us able to easily leave our planet within a second or two. Man I sure hate being in agreement with two of our resident trolls.Those are only the ones in our solar system. There’s billions of planets out there.I dont believe we are alone at all, but EVERY planet we encounter seems to be a nightmarish world where no living thing can surviveWe’re either alone or we’re not.
Both ideas are equally disturbing.
Why is it absurd?
We have absolutely no proof that life exist elsewhere.
Our scientists have not been able to produce life in a laboratory after decades of research, which means it is a very difficult process. Maybe that process only happened once under a very unique set of circumstances.
How do you know that life on earth is not unique?
That is the same as believing in magic if they think the universe magically created itself out of nothing. Some real serious magic.
This "faith" that there just has to be life elsewhere simply comes from being brainwashed by Science Fiction.
Hell, they see aliens and starships and other worlds every time they turn on the TV or go to the movies. It just has to be that way, doesn't it?
The truth is, if Adam got into his spaceship and began 6,000 years ago, he'd still need another 60,000 years to get to 5he nearest star.
But we have faith now in "warp drive" and maybe wormholes to get around those pesky laws of physics
Nope. Fusion can get you maybe 1/10 lightspeedA constant boost Fusion engine could reach light speed in 6 months using a 1 Gee boost.Ever heard of Edison? Bell? Oppenheimer? Goddard? Von Braun?Prove there is not. As far as light speed ,it could be done. If we could develope a FUSION reactor. Maybe 100 years away.Flying had never happened before. Until Wright did it. The Speed of sound was impossible until it was done. Speed of Light? Impossible. Until someone figures it out.Life on Earth is unique, but what is to say that some other life form is on a 3rd planet from its sun, has nitrogen and oxygen, and water? Billions on billions of stars and planets out there, the odds are that we arent the only ones.Which is why it is absurd beyond reason to say we are the only planet with life forms.half of mankind is in denial mode like the op that there are alien life forms out there that hover in our sky’s observing us everyday with ships that are a thousand times more advanced than us able to easily leave our planet within a second or two.

It takes more than water, O2 and whatever. Our scientists have been trying to turn chemistry into biology for decades and they have nothing.
If it is was common for life to be created from simple ingredients then it would be a classroom science experiment in every jr High school science class, wouldn't it?
It is a very complex thing and we have no proof that it has ever happen before.
That may change in the future as we learn more but then again we may never know.
Just show me the money. Just show me where there is life elsewhere in the universe.
Until you do you have nothing but your Science Fiction brainwashing.
The set of things that humans think COULD be done is always larger than the set of things that HAVE been done, isn't it?
If you want to believe we can go star trekking across the universe screwing pretty green Orion slave girls then go for it Sport.
Depending on the concept, the exhaust velocity of a fusion-propelled rocket would be in the range of 150-350 kilometres per second. Planet Mars could be reached in 90 days or even less, as compared to eight months with a conventional propulsion
Fusion Drive will get you from earth to mars in 90 days.
Light can travel from the sun to mars in 12 minutes.
It takes INFINITE ENERGY to get any mass to light speed
