do you believe there's life on other planets?
Bananas:
To believe that we are the sole center and buzz of an infinite universe in which we know so little about would be conceited and ignorant.
There is something with a pulse somewhere....even after you leave planet earth! surprise christians!

what irony?

Let me guess since you won't fuccin say anything...you think it's irony some people believe in life on other planets and yet don't believe in an almighty god?

I think that's what he means.
That's easy: there is evidence of planets that have similar conditions to that of our planet, Earth. If those planets have our conditions which have been PROVEN to support life, then there is a possibility that similar life may exist. We are not believing in something blindly like the idea of a space god who created us for the sole purpose of fucking with us for his amusement. There is, to this day, NOTHING that even supports that shit on a large scale. Nothing.
It is PROVEN that these planets similar to Earth exist and all the living things around us are PROOF that our planetary conditions support life. I think you can put two-and-two together to see that our beliefs have a much better possibility than the common beliefs of your average Christian.
Shit, that doesn't even mean that planets not similar to earth don't support life. We got fuckin anerobic organisms that live without oxygen, thermophilic organisms that live under extremely hot conditions. Organisms that thrive off of sulfur and other molecules that would fuck us up if we were exposed to it. The list goes on.

Oh come on.
What planets have similar conditions as Earth? The one they 'just found' 20 light years away? If you believe in 'aliens' than yes, you are, believing in somethang blindly. There is NO proof at all, at all. There isn't any more PROOF of aliens than there is proof of a 'invisible God'. Just becuz scientists assume space is infinite there's a possibly of other creatures out there? Hmm. Is that the basis of where alien belief comes from? I think sooo.
Earth just 'happens' to have the perfect gravitation, the perfect distance from Sun, the perfect surface, the perfect atmosphere, the perfect temperature, with the perfect rotation around the sun, all which are unique to other planets. How could there be another planet out there EXACTLY like us?
I mean what other planets have similar conditions, becuz I thought that was why science has told us Earth can support life..

Well for one, I don't BELIEVE that aliens exist the way you BELIEVE God exists. I think there is a very good possibility that there is life on other planets, but I will never tell you its 100% sure. You, and other Christians, would look me in the eye and guarantee me that God exists, that Jesus is his son and that when we die, we either go to heaven or hell and there is no other alternative to you. You belief is unreasonable and without any support, while mine is based on probability.
And just as Earth has the perfect conditions to support life, as you said, there are numerous planets out there in the universe, whether finite or infinite, that exist. You really think none of them have absolutely no change of being in a similar situation that our planet is in? No chance whatsoever? We haven't even scratched the surface of what is out there int he universe, yet you can easily just ignore those facts and tell yourself we are the only ones out there without a shadow of a doubt?
That's my real beef with Christians. Not necessarily their beliefs, but their ability to remain ignorant by rejecting facts and simplifying things to make their beliefs more substantial to them. To be fair though, that can be attributed to all religions, not just Christianity.

I definitely said I believe in a possibility of other life. But I also believe it's fuckin' korny that all the ones who think it's illogical for there to be a creator of space (which man will prolly never be able to understand) can believe in a possibly of other life forms. I understand ya'll gotta defend yourselves, but I know, you know, how ironic it sounds. Especially coming with an 'anythang's possible' mentality, it's a lil contradictory, wouldn't you agree? Well, I know you won't, but it is. It is.
My belief in a creator is not unreasonable. You can throw Jesus, Heaven and Hell in it all you want to make it seem stupid. But it is not. Listen to ya'll men! You are sayin' anythang is possible out there. How korny is that? I say that same idea in other threads and I'M unreasonable? We all agree that we are a fuckin' orange goldfish in The Pacific Ocean, and that goldfish has no fuckin' idea there's an Atlantic Ocean too... that shit just shows us what we are. Just that thought on space makes you wonder, well evidently not Atheists cuz they take a few scientific observations ( that are liable to change at any moment ) and base a firm fact on them to laugh at others.. but it should make you wonder about alot more than Jesus. That maybe there is somethang after death, I mean other life forms may not even die.. I mean I don't know.. there's so much it makes your head spin.
The more advanced the human race becomes to report findings on space, to me, just shows us how the comprehension of God will never be understood by man. Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. Cuz in a discussion like this, on an infinite space, and you all STILL can conclude a belief, all this is mere coincidence, such a arrogant and close minded idea (as Ikke as said in this same thread, ha) I truly feel bad.
And I would like to know how I'm, or Christians, or Muslims reject facts? Have ya'll ever read the Catechism from the Catholic Church? Prolly has to be the most realistic pieces of material a 'rational' person could read, with a belief in God. And the Quran is the most scientific Holy Book, so hmmm, Islam is a pretty rational faith.

So who are the 'irrational' or 'illogical' or 'unreasonable' believers in God who reject facts, that you speak of? Down South Evangelicals? Ha.
