Do you believe in extraterrestrial life?

How many have read the book of Enoch? It wasn’t included in the cannon of scripture, however some writers spoke of it in scripture.

Enoch references angels called watchers.

I read a book by Zecharia Sitchin about Nibiru.  Great for falling asleep.

One of the things I find most comical about these conversations is the discussion of the possibility of "other intelligent life" as if we automatically qualify. Just because we're the smartest hairless monkeys on our little rock doesn't mean jack poo on a universal scale. Some aliens could be so far beyond us that they wouldn't consider us intelligent life.

Or, we could be the most advanced. The only reason we think they could be smarter is sci-fi movies. IMHO it's all about which race has mastered physics the best. Hey, E.T., you can travel at light speed without g forces pushing your tits out your butthole? Mad props.

It's just math. There's 100 billion stars just in our own galaxy. Most will have planets orbiting them. Plenty will have planets or moons with the conditions to potentially support life. The odds of us being the most advanced species in our own galaxy is mathematically slim to none. When you extrapolate it to the entire universe it's practically absolute zero. Chances are we're somewhere around average on terms of the dominate species on a planet capable of developing complex life as I'm sure there's plenty of planets out there that only support simple life as in single cellular, bacterial, etc. The more we learn about the universe the more likely it looks like there's very little chance that we're exceptional.

We have 8 planets. We have no idea what's living on those other 7 planets. 

 

Maybe the extraterrestrial life came from one of those planets.

I disagree. But that's fine. IMO no one race has any extra "ability" or "tech" that the other doesn't. That's Hollywood thinking. The only thing one may have more of is time. I think all civilizations are probably fairly equal. Physics are physics. A race would have to evolve and adapt to breaking the laws (yes, our human laws) of physics to be able to even visit us easily. Their tech would have to use substances we've never encountered that can fuel/power their society that doesn't have the constraints that nuclear power does if we could ever figure out how to use it for travel. Space is HUGE. I just can't buy there is some group out there that has mastered it. We're all in the same boat.

Hell, we see that very situation here on Earth within our own species. How would it be surprising to see the same throughout the cosmos? The tech available to a wealthy person vs. a middle class person vs. a poor person is vastly different and even more vast in the developing world.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
