What would you think if definitive proof of alien life emerged? Would it consign all religious thought to, as Mark Twain once predicted, the fate of a stuffed ornament in museums? How would suggestive confirmation of the principles of uniformity and plenitude - that if life can form on Earth it can form anywhere and thus will for everywhere - mix with confirmation of the principle of mediocrity (nothing special about humans)? Would mediocrity impact humans relation with technology and would plenitude turn science skyward?

Heard mixed things about the film itself. More so in the final act it gets a bit ahead of itself.
Still to me, Spielberg's masterpiece is Jaws.
There's already a lot of scientific evidence to suggest that we do not have any imaginary friends, so more evidence won't make any difference to the people of faith.
It is an interesting thing to think about however, life elsewhere in the universe. I believe it's out there for sure, but how much complex life is out there is the real question. I don't think humans are mediocre, I think we are uniquie and similarly complex lifeforms very rare. If a superior and vastly more technologically advanced race of being were out there as some imagine, it would be logical that they would be aware of us. I don't think therefore that such superiority exists, to that level at least.
But good luck Elon.
There is zero natural evidence against the supernatural. The overwhelming evidence for it is that so many people continue to have faith in the existence of 'imaginary friends'.
The evidence suggests there is no supernatural simply because it goes against science, and that is the way we understand everything in the world. However you are correct in the fact science cannot disprove it.
I do not agree that the evidence is overwhelming due to the numbers that have faith. As people become more educated generally faith subsides, 500 years ago non-believers would of been very scarce indeed.
Religious people are athiests to all other religions other than their own. Non-religious people just go one further.
When you consider that there are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on Earth and most of those stars have planets orbiting them (just like our sun), then the chance of life somewhere else is very very high in my opinion.
As long as they are Eels Supporters that will be okay I suppose 🙄🙄
Great point.
No such thing as Aliens or life on other planets in my personal opinion.
You are not qualified to have opinions other than the marbles you take to school everyday.
