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?

Thinking of this and turning it into an Eels blog, I suppose the R&R is not infallible after all.
This will make Chiefy happy! LOL
Most intelligent life on Earth doesn't want to be here so I don't know why we'd think anyone else wants to visit. The smartest thing a super intelligence from far far away could do is to stay far far away from us. 😁
Intergalactically I'm sure we're uninteresting, unremarkable, violent, and look pretty keen on making ourselves extinct in the foreseeable future.
Just like the drive to Wagga Wagga, we're simply not worth the trip, the time or the trouble.
Until, of course, that Earth gets in the way of an intergalactic highway. In that case we should pin all our hopes on a guy called Arthur Dent.
hahahaha
Not that the subject isn't worthy of deep discussion, but I think it says something when this blog is so active and yet there isn't a blog started about the State of Origin tomorrow. Seems origin of the universre has more interest than origin of the state at the moment.
lol true ....maybe we have been burnt too may times about rapping the series up in two....we have lost our interest
The Fermi Paradox and the absolute vastness of Space I think sways me to think there may be noone but us or at the very most, there is and we will be extinct before it is proven....
Religion is hope I guess. I dont mind HEYZEUS
The Fermi Paradox, I couldn't remember the name of it. That's what kind of convinced me that there is nothing out there that is hugely more developed than us.
