There is zero evidence for aliens, still people believe in them. And millions and millions are wasted in the search. Just because neon green elephants are and seam possible, doesn't mean there are any. In fact, there are none, except we create them.
- ViktorRay 2y agoThe universe is so fast. Why are you so certain that life only evolved on our planet? When you say “there are none” it seems you are making a more unbelievable statement than the people who say aliens exist.
- tgv 2y agoTBF the comment says that there's no evidence, not that there are none. And indeed, the belief in extraterrestial aliens is much, much bigger than its theoretical underpinnings warrant.
- KingOfCoders 2y agoIndeed, especially as 85% of atheists in the US believe in aliens. With zero evidence, no signs, nothing.
- ViktorRay 2y agoThe parent comment literally said: “In fact, there are none, except we create them.” I was saying that the claim that life in this universe only evolved on our planet is more extraordinary than the claim that life evolved elsewhere. So the parent comment’s claim that “there are none” would be a belief that is actually bigger than the belief that there are.

- elphinstone 2y agoThe amount of tax dollars to SETI vs. amount given in bank bailouts in various crises is orders of magnitudes different, setting aside historic and scientific importance.
- KingOfCoders 2y agoWould you be fine with the government spending millions of tax dollars in the search for god?
- kwere 2y agoif its a scientific research why not? Governments should spend the money they squander in vote grabbing welfare instead in Researchs of various kind, even crazy ones for points of GDP

- dudinax 2y agoWe don't know.
- KingOfCoders 2y agoThere are 21 sextillions grains of sand on earth. One of them MUST be the shape of my face. This is not science, this is religion.
- Saigonautica 2y agoA more accurate analogy would be that without looking at very much sand, you already possess one grain of sand in the exact shape of your face. This spikes your curiosity and you ask: What are the chances of finding another?
- KingOfCoders 2y agoI do think these are two different arguments. 1. Aliens can exist because we exist 2. Aliens do exist because of probabilities Mine was about 2
- suzzer99 2y agoI think it would be orders of magnitude more astounding if aliens didn't exist than if they did, just given the sheer odds of life only happening once in the observable universe. That's all I'm saying.
