UFOs - bollocks?

All that was on the telly the other night. Program about the large hadron collider.

Looks like they should find out about the Higgs this year one way or the other. Either that or blow us all up as discussed in a previous thread.

Me - I haven't got a fecking clue...

If there is superior intelligent life out there it will not be benign, peaceful herbivores do not dominate. The reality would be Independence Day, War Of the Worlds, Midwich Cuckoos, not this "Welcome To Our Federation" crap.

No, there are no UFOs out there, if there was any race advanced enough to travel the galaxy and lurk in our solar system, we would have been conquered, exterminated, shagged and/or eaten long ago.

Maybe they'd find us comical, and we're this seasons unwitting replacement 2 Ronnies on ET TV.

There is bugger all out there. The initiation of life on Earth was such a jammy event that the odds against it happening again elsewhere are astronomical.

Disagree
It is arrogance to suppose that in the billions of galaxies, trillions of stars we would be somehow unique

Why arrogance? You and I dispute the value of chance, not the worthiness of our existence.

Yes. Astronomical. Why, you'd need billions of stars for a start! Oh. Drake equation anyone?

Au contraire. There is so much more to life and the universe than we could ever wish to know about. It IS sheer arrogance to think that we are the highest beings in all of it's infinite existance.
