share with the classroom?


There are at least 700 quintillion planets in the universe. That's 700 quintillion rolls of the dice for intelligent life. Out of the dice rolls that landed on intelligent life, not one has developed the technology and the desire to visit our planet or to communicate with us? That's absurd. Therefore, they're either already visiting us or they don't exist.

Now, there does seem to be something that is interacting with us. One problem. The thing that has been interacting with us doesn't behave in a way that one would expect another intelligent and biological entity to behave. See Jacques Vallee's work for more information.

Gaaaaaay. God is way cooler than aliens because God made the aliens too (if they exist).


Yea God is a broad statement that lacks more specific understanding. Why does it rain because rain god, well actually.... There is this thing called condensation warm and cold air.... God is a lazy explanation

You can say the same thing about aliens, bruh. Except the alien explanation is even more retarded because you still need to explain where the aliens came from.

Seems like you'll enjoy the book Stealing from God by Frank Turek.

Imagine being part of an intelligent species that can't communicate among itself while criticizing unknown intelligent species for not communicating with us.

That may explain away why some haven't communicated with us, but not all. Remember, there are at least 700 quintillion planets in the universe.

And human beings communicate with each other all the time.

Yep...and how much distance between them? Do you often yell at someone in another city and expect it to work?

700 quintillion dice rolls and not one has the will or the technology to bridge this distance? Lul.

It's not retarted. There has been far too much evidence to ignore. The aliens have made known which star system they come from so there is no guessing.
Far more plausible to conceptualise an advanced race of people creating life then a magic wizard in the sky somewhere. Our own technology is quickly approaching those levels where we ourselves will be capable to create a genetic race of people if we wanted to.
