There is No Home in the Universe but Earth

Seriously, this is orders of magnitude beyond flight.

"This is orders of magnitude beyond riding horseback"

The only people who "believe" this is feasible are the people who will get paid money for "believing" it and the dupes they convince to fund it.

Haha, you always think talking about other people makes a relevant point in science topics. It's so weird. Did you ask those people what their credentials are?

The universe is a harsh, dangerous and sterile place.

Thank God we have our little jewel.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

The universe is a harsh, dangerous and sterile place.

So is the vast majority of planet Earth (save for sterile).

In the end we have to accept that God created ONLY the earth for Mankind.

There is no other world in the solar system or the universe

Non sense

Can't be just us out here

Of course it can be. We are living in a video game.

God created the universe for us. He created US in His image.

Christ became HUMAN and died for OUR sins.

Do you think He is going from planet to planet dying endlessly?

The universe only exists for our sake. When we become like He is, the universe will be ours, but not now. Not as flesh and blood

 

[Flopper]

We’re either alone or we’re not.

Both ideas are equally disturbing.

I dont believe we are alone at all, but EVERY planet we encounter seems to be a nightmarish world where no living thing can survive

Those are only the ones in our solar system. There’s billions of planets out there.

The problem is both time and distance. The known universe is about 93 billion light years across. Man has reached a speed of 24,000 mph in space. Traveling at that speed it would take man 28,000,000,000 years to cross the universe. However, what may be even a bigger problem is the life span of humanity vs lifespan of the universe. Assuming man somehow was able to travel at light speeds, he would likely find at best only evidence of long dead civilizations or microscopic life that someday might develop into intelligent life.

Must go now, it's time for Star Trek.

No. I know they are credentialed. But they are human too.

False. This is the science sectiion. If you feel like making stuff up, head to the religion section

Science deals with what we KNOW.

I posted a video about what we KNOW about all other worlds.

Science doesnt KNOW a single habitable world outside our own

Yep. Which is why Fermi's Paradox...isn't.

No.
The chief goal of science is to learn things we do not yet know.

 

[there4eyeM]

It takes at least as much imagination to believe we would encounter intelligent life in all the expanse of time and space as to believe in divine intervention. Both are far fetched for our little brains and logic. Both could be equally false.
That doesn't mean that enormous surprises do not await us in regards to discovering what is 'behind the curtain'.

There is no other world in the solar system or the universe

It's estimated that there could be as many as 300 million habitable planets in our galaxy alone. In 2020, astronomers announced that they have identified 24 "super-habitable planets (planets deemed to be better than Earth). The only thing preventing our going to them is that our technology hasn't reached the level whereby we could travel to them. Given time, we might.
To just blanketly say that there is no other world in the solar system or universe comes from a complete ignorance of science. I'm surprised that you aren't also saying that the Earth is flat and that we would fall off of it, if we were to reach the end of it.

We have been conditioned by 100 years of science fiction to believe that life exist beyond earth. However, the only fact that science knows is that life exist only on earth.

When we look elsewhere all we see are environments hostile to life as we know it.

And that we can get there in minutes or hours instead of TENS OF THOUSANDS and MILLIONS of years.

And just how much of the universe have you explored to make such a statement?

The knowledge we have of the entire universe and the trillions of solar systems that exist is less than infinitesimal.

Just looking at the scientific facts. Everything our astronomers shows us is pretty damn hostile.

People can be really confused about this things like this. For instance, they look in the sky and say things like "look at all those stars, there must be other life".

However, 70% of the stars they see are Red Dwarfs. Not only significantly cooler than our own sun but very very variable. The temperature fluctuates significantly. It is hard to have life when it is 70F one day and 370F the next day, isn't it?

Radiation is a real killer for life. Just look at Mars as an example. Earth is protected from radiation because we have a tremendous molten iron core that generates a really powerful magnetic field. That large iron core was created by a very happenstance event. When Theta collided with the primordial earth merging two iron cores.

Speaking of happenstance events our large moon is just as responsible for life as anything. It has stabilized the earth to the point that life could evolve.

May I suggest you read the book "Rare Earth"? It describes all the happenstance events that led to life on earth. It postulates that the happenstance events that created life on earth may be so unique that life (especially complex life) may only exist on earth.

Rare Earth: Why Complex Life Is Uncommon in the Universe - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Ward and Brownlee argue that the universe is fundamentally hostile to complex life and that while microbial life may be common in the universe, complex intelligent life (like the evolution of biological complexity from simple life on Earth) required an exceptionally unlikely set of circumstances, and therefore complex life is likely to be extremely rare. They argue that among the essential criteria for life are a terrestrial planet with plate tectonics and oxygen, a large moon, magnetic field, a gas giant like Jupiter for protection and an orbit in the habitable zone of the right kind of star. Additionally, events during the Earth's geological past such as Snowball Earth, the Cambrian Explosion, and the various mass extinction events that nearly destroyed life on Earth arguably make the existence and survival of complex life rare as well. They also suggest that animal life, having taken hundreds of millions of years to evolve, unlike bacteria, which were the first life to appear on Earth, is extremely fragile to sudden and severe changes in the environment, and therefore are very prone to becoming extinct very easily and quickly within a short period of geological time, while microbial life is much more resilient to such changes.

of course, that isnt true.
Did your god tell you to lie?

Lol.. I agree with you. We only inhabit one planet; however, you would think anti-environmental lunatics like yourself would have second thoughts about trashing this planet, but alas you could care less...so stop ya bitching.

You AGW freaks dont care about trash. You care about power.
