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?

Strange Eel, the Drake equation for calculating probability of finding life includes chance of life evolving, chance of them sending signals, and chance they will be around long enough to find us or us them. But there is no variable for whether they would bother trying! I guess that's a key assumption, of whether advancement preserves curiosity?
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.
Joey, when Frank Drake first proposed the Drake equation to estimate probability of ET, he "calculated" 20 to 50,000,000 civilizations. With that margin, yeah, he was taking wild swings! I think recent estimates based on future data about planets etc has dropped it to 500 to 5,000. Some put it at 0 of course.
Probaklt just means all Drake equation style estimates are simply guesses shrouded in complex math?!
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.
PS I forgot, you lost your marbles didn't you!
Oh no not the 'comment chaser' 🤣 Surely you have better things to do with your time like perhaps some denture scrubbing, polishing those lawn bowl balls, maybe some crotchet, or whatever the 'old farts' do in their spare time
The holy books of Judaism, Christianity and Islam describe heavenly realms teeming with angels and demons.
