By whose standards?
Ask the majority of biologists and they’ll tell you that alien life is non-probable because of the varying and anomolistic conditions in which evolution happened for the human race.
For instance. My figures may be a bit off, but close enough - But organisms originally all lived in the water for like what, 6 billion years? And only within the last billion years have they somehow evolved into something further - an event in which evolutionists still don’t have concrete reasons for. That’s a LARGE portion of time for simple life to exist and only a short time of having anything further, without any kind of explanation for why or how it happened.
Then, eventually these organisms migrated from water to land because there was too much competition in the seas. This alone could’ve been attributed to fluke genes, or rare characteristics in evolution that allowed life outside water possible.
And what about dinosaurs? Without their extinction, one can safely assume that there would be NO human life on this planet if they had continued existence. We simply wouldn’t be able to match them in the competitive life cycle.
Look, I’m NOT saying alien life doesn’t exist, it might. But if it does, I feel there’s a good chance it’s not evolved enough to make conscious decisions of galactic travel and motives that are human-like. I think most concepts of aliens and the way they operate are, as I’ve said, personified and dramaticized by years of theory and, as Vegita showed, ancient myths about people from the skies or what not.
Everyone wants something beyond their own normal and mundane lives to believe in, and that’s cool, I accept that. Some people have Gods, some have aliens, others have doomsday prophecies. It’s all about personal beliefs.[/quote]
Im glad you pointed out that your figures may be off because right off the bat they were. The world is only 4-4.5 billion years old. Scientists have created amino acids out of just water elecricity and heat, now aminos dont lead to us but they do creat a starting point.[/quote]
Thanks, I couldn’t remember the exact numbers there. If that’s the case, then the life form didn’t evolve past a single-cell microbacteria until roughly 3.25 - 3.5 billion years ago. Just for the record and all.
[quote]We know more about the bottom of the marianas trench then we know about the dark side of the moon. Now you mention that scientist are still very confused about our evolution mainly Macro Evolution even tho we can clearly see the path from homo erectus and beyond to us.
Here is my theory. The dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago and us (homo sapiens) evolved out of homo erectus 250,000 years ago in africa. Now lets say a life form like us or atleast with the potential to be as intelligent as us eveolved much sooner like 500,000 years ago or more.Now take a look at where we are in technology and its easy to imagine where we could be in another 250,000 years.
So if you take the idae that there could be thousands of hospitable planets out there somewhere and the figure of 250,000-500,000 and 65million and divide it you get 260 and 130. That means there are 260 and 130 chances for another life form to evolve to atleast our intelligence within the last 65million years.
Lots of poeple think well if there out there why dont we see them or why dont they show themselves, well look at it this way. We drop of Navy Seals on foriegn siol to conduct secret mission all the time. Nobody sees them so why would we see aliens if they didnt want us too.[/quote]
That may be so, and agree, I don’t deny the potential for aliens to exist, that was never my real sentiment. I don’t buy the one-track philosophy of their concept and rationale.
What I’m trying to say is that if we suppose aliens are truly coming to new planets, for whatever reason it may be - to meet and greet, resources, war, etc., we’re backing that theory with secular, if not blind reasoning. Egotistical reasoning. There’s nothing but speculation behind the theory that live has to evolve or exist with similar life patterns as ours.
Yes, there seems to be a constant between life forms. That we know of… on Earth, but that means nothing when we’re talking about planets a very far way from here. For all that we know, Earth has (possibly) 118-122 elements, which could be 1/6 of the amount of elements present between ours and two to other galaxies, let alone the insane amount there is.
Anyway, I already droned on over and over about why there’s an excellent chance aliens aren’t anything like humans. That’s all I’m trying to imply.
