Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25050963 If you had read the article it says that the Milky Way alone could host 60 billion habitable planets. Actual reading is so over-rated these days! Maybe, just maybe, all those aliens are here destroying the planet cause theirs is obliterated.

Yet they still do not understand how life is created. The number of life supporting plants is going to way larger then just 60 billion in the Milk Way.

So me and my Christian friends can play golf on my resort!! Quoting: moses787 But those who don't know and serve God will be cooking and frying and crying for trillions and trillions of years. Especially the leadership of the new world order illuminuties. They will be in the 8th and 9th and the 10th levels of those fiery flames!! God does allow us a part in creation.

The habitable zone has changed overtime. Venus is a lot like earths atmosphere. Mars will one day be in the habitable zone when the earth is no longer. People always wonder why mars is carved out like it has had oceans, yet it's impossible for the water to be in a liquid state. IT NEVER WAS IN A LIQUID STATE AND CAN'T BE UNTIL THE "GOLDILOCKS ZONE" CHANGES. God obviously made it that way for a reason, why else would it be so impossible for us to fathom.

That we can recognize. Save your money and go get a degree in Electrical Engineering. Learn what signals are. Read about quantum communications and think about the probability that a race that can explore the galaxy can use it. There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. |

That is just the thing, it doesn't have to be water that caused it. Water does not have to present for there to be life. Also, who is to say that there must be a liquid compound, of any type, present for there to be life. "we all need a helping hand, at the same time giving two to help" - me |

Quoting: Waterbug The simple act of a comet impact releasing amino acids is enough for me to determine that. Not at all. In fact, creation and its Creator are evident. You can't see it because of ego-centrism. It's because of that that you project man out there as other life, not the other way round. |

Ghost Avatar User ID: 42643339 United States 07/02/2013 02:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just a thought experiment--- If the galaxy is a super-cell-- where each solar system is a sub-cell--- where each planet is a possibility for life-expression potential---where life-forms are intrinsic to the energy-states from which they are derived--- Natural Law is expressed across the whole--- only those planets of the Earth-like potential will have life similar to our own--- following the same natural laws-- those which have different energy envelopes will be quite different and very alien to all standards we ego-eccentrically consider normal by our needs of living conditions. If life is multi-dimensional by expression of Law, planets are life niches in a greater ecology of the Macro-Environment called a Galaxy. Science is looking down the wrong end of the telescope so to speak... as for why we are not inundated with alien signals--- maybe the best ones were kept secret under national security--- maybe the communication science postulates are simply wrong--- we are publicly looking for the wrong things on purpose to keep the right ones a secret--- so long as the gov. under military secrecy, wrapped in deeper secrecy, controls the access and or information, thus, it is a guessing game as to the real reasons Contact with such other 'civilizations' has not already occurred. Thus, this simple thought experiment merely treats the galaxy as the expression of a greater whole purpose, whose every system expresses such a purpose so defined. One might surmise mankind is actually quite late to a party of which he may not have been invited. In which case mankind is so far behind he is a hopeless primitive so compared. Perhaps the locals simply observe us the same way we observe an ant hill. Our aggressive, violent behavior no doubt is an issue as well. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 18242403 United States 07/02/2013 02:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Probably there are lots and lots of planets like that. 60 Billion? Why 60? I just luv when they throw around numbers like this without even knowing if the universe is finite or infinite...if it is infinite, this number has no validity. If it is finite, first need to know how large it is,otherwise the estimate is worthless again. Quoting: emerald_glow In lack of those I will vote this 60 billion in our OWN GALAXY fucktard. Try reading the fucking article before commenting in the future so you don't have to look like a total dumbass. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 42364242 United States 07/02/2013 02:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No it isn't. Every known scientific fact tells us life only exists on Earth, and supports the law of biogenesis: that life only comes from other life. It doesn't spontaneously generate all over space like Star Trek pseudo-science would have you believe. The simple act of a comet impact releasing amino acids is enough for me to determine that. Quoting: Waterbug Life requires an intelligent designer. That designer is God, who created the universe to support the Earth. Earth is the only place with life. Deal with it. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25050963 It is a tiny number but we're working from the inside out, so to speak. You can expect that estimate to shoot up once we confirm the first "M class" exoplanet. BUT! I'll wager any money you like that intelligent life is probably incredibly rare. I bet that most life bearing planets will be home to primal forms of life. The dinosaurs for example, we (as in mammals) only caught a break because of a lucky space rock smacking the Earth. Then all those crazy variables down the ages... Maybe humanity could even be the only intelligent life in the galaxy, in which case it's ours for the taking. The galaxy is a garden brimming with life perhaps... and only we have the capacity to be gardeners... kind of cool but kind of sad too. What I would really like to see is a reworking of the Drake equation inputting all the new variables exoplanetary research has given us, I'd do it myself but I'm watching Magnum P.I atm.
