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.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
