wasn't demanding, just wanted to hear what your own logic was instead
but it's pointless to go any further I guess as it's getting outside science
the weak anthropic principle can't be falsified so it cannot be argued
I don't think we'll ever hear from "ET" but I do think it's perfectly plausible to find single-celled or simple bacteria elsewhere someday (ie. Europa, comet or asteroid)
- pfdietz 2mo agoIf I were saying we were definitely rare or unique, you'd have an argument. But I'm not doing that -- I'm saying it's a possibility that is consistent with evidence. The claim that life is common is different. For that, you really need to present an argument that life being uncommon is ruled out. In your last sentence there you've retreated from "life is common" to "it's plausible life is common". Sure (within the constraints of the Fermi Argument, but that has uncertainties.)
