1) If you look up at the heavens above and consider the vastness of space, or you look at the Eagle Nebulae for example and then think all this exists for us? The Centiilions of planets, stars, quasars etc and there is just us! Just a hundred or so years ago you would have believed that notion, then technology moved on and helped us understand more.
2) But if that weren't enough we had to rationalise the whole process with a scientific formula, that Frank Drake came up with
3) To me it's quite similar to the whole field of the paranormal. We are told spirits/ghosts whatever you want to call them are all around, we have numerous people's testimonials, photos, video and even some physical evidence abounds. We have limited technological processes and equipment to measure this, and I'm sure more reliable equipment is on the cards.
I'm sure most scientist would say and agree that it would be very arrogant to state that amongst all the stars and galaxies that surround us we are the only planet containing life. I'm sure when most scientist hear accounts of Alien contact they would laugh and joke. But to outright deny the possibility of alien life existing somewhere else in the universe would probably be absurd. Just in the same way as to deny the existence of spirits/ghosts exist would to me be absurd.Statistics: Posted by yellowlawn — 12 Nov 2009, 08:31
