Evidence of Extraterrestrial Life could be revealed within the next month

Wow! It's supposed to coincide with the US Election result.

Not so, it's well worth a look and it's still available for 9 months >> ENJOY.

They were discovered under a big X that had been drawn using solar eclipses.

It's weird isn't it, because at once it answers one of the great questions of mankind that has been posed by millions of people fo thousands of years and goes to the heart of many religious theories.

Ob the other it just seems inevitable and not entirely exciting that there's a few miserable bacteria living in squalor on some shithole planet somewhere.

I think I'm probably more interested in those funny looking fish on the very bottom of the deepest oceans

Some scientists claim that there are 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 planets just in the observable universe, which makes life rather a possibility elsewhere.

And that's only what we can currently observe in a FINITE universe; some astronomers believe the Universe to be INFINITE; in which case, not only would an infinite number of intelligent lifeforms 100% exist elsewhere but, also an infinite number of each of us here on Earth would also logically exist.

An appendage to my last post purely for our friend James Wales;

Just think...an INFINITE number of Sludges! Ecstasy!!!

Please refrain from using the word 'appendage' alongside the name of 'Sludge' in posts in future. It's far too disturbing.

No if these boffins can find intelligent life on Sludge then I would be impressed!

"Simon Holland who has worked on documentaries for the BBC and NASA- funded projects, said that an Oxford-backed program searching for extraterrestrial signals has quietly identified 'non-human intelligence on our galaxy ' The signal, a five hour long burst of radio waves, appeared to eminate from Proxima Centauri. The Oxford team has confirmed they are analysing the signal but they have not revealed the likely source"

"They are looking for details, hence the delay in publishing the news", said Holland. Astronomers first detected it on April 2019'.

I think it'll probably be another of those sensationalist non stories but who knows? I live in hope.

However, I do believe, if not this one now, a story like this will actually be proven true sometime in the future.

😂😭👏 yes I should have considered those of a more sensitive nature, you're right. What a cock up on my part!

Would make a change if they were

Phwooooooar

It's sadly ironic that we can put men on the moon and find out so much about the universe but any beings receiving any signals from us would have no idea what a frightful mess humanity is in on this planet. It may be that by the time any such signals are received by other beings we have made ourselves extinct.

Serious question, if they do find life elsewhere and that life is wearing a red Cardiff City shirt, what would everyone's thoughts be?

I've always been vociferously anti re-brand but I would acknowledge he had a point about reaching new markets in that scenario.

Much as I love science fiction, why would the discovery of intelligent life elsewhere give you hope?

I don't think he had a point at all. We would have been up against Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid etc. and our little offering would pale by comparison. These days we would be behind Brentford, Middlesbrough and Bristol City...yuk!

Anyway, aliens on other planets may not experience colour as we do. For example, red might be experienced in the same way we hear a fart down here

Generally, who wouldn't?
But why would the discovery of life on another planet make your life/ future any better?

Better is a subjective term. Who actually could possibly know until it happens? However, rather than evoking any emotional response, it will certainly shed light upon aspects of experience and the Universe hitherto unknown.

Yes we're being dragged back into an old hornet's nest here.

Meanwhile in a parallel universe Cardiff City A.F.C. having won last season's European Cup are currently top of the Premier League table with 24 points from the first 8 games and a goal difference of 20.

There is no evidence that knowledge leads towards greater hope, in fact often knowing more about our plight can lead to deep despair.
Your hope in finding ET is to point the finger at God and say, "you didn't mention or know about any of these guys, so now I can ignore your words completely."

All the best with that particular delusion.

What would your take be on this? it's quite a biggie

Well if we use the information God has given us, it would be impossible for there to be sentient life anywhere else - I will address this at the end of this post.
This view won't answer other questions like why the Universe is so incredibly big, but we are now looking at a universe that is post 'the fall' - what it looked like before the fall (detailed in Genesis 3) is anyone's guess?
But while we view all this from a broken world, God's perspective is contained in this comment to first century Christians in Rome in Pauls letter to them, Chapter 8 verse 22 - when we read "We know that the whole creation is groaning together and suffering labour pains up until now".
There is much to unpack from this statement, but from it we can see that the curse didn't only impact this planet, but the entire Creation of God, ie everything!
Now for a moment, let us assume that life forms similar to Vulcans exist somewhere in the Universe; why should they ALSO be impacted by a choice made by the first generation of human beings on this rock that we all now inhabit? That would make no sense at all?
So the fact that "the whole creation is groaning" logically rules out any other similar (or intelligent) life-forms to mankind. If you have any follow up questions on this or any other points, please ask away....

I don't know if I'm reading this right but it seems like your answer is "it can't be true" isn't it?
