Literally nothing about gravity is proven at this point, can we just drop that argument and talk about aliens again?

Sure.

I'm in the "aliens almost certainly exist but we are unlikely to see any in our life time" camp.

Listen I think they should teach the theory of gravity and the theory of evolution in public schools too as long as they provide the childrens the oppourtunity to learn that god created all life in his image, and he holds us on the earth. If he created us in his image clearly there can't be aliens. End of story /lock thread.

Not convinced on the 'currently visit earth' aliens though,

Pretty much this.

With all the worlds out there that can support life as we know it, there has to be ONE or so form of aliens out there. Coupled with the fact that there are now living Metal Cells, and it's more absurd to think that life COULDN'T exist on another planet.

But if all life is in his image, what about cows?

Livestock. Genesis 1:24.
You may have also missed a hefty dose of sarcasm.

What happens in the Mosh Pit stays in the Mosh Pit!

You fool! Now they know!

Hopefully this won't be as big as moshgate.

Argh! You see? You see! The DCM bourgeoisie are keeping secrets from us! To arms, comrades! What do they know!? The secret location of the Fountain of Youth? El Dorado? Where the hell all my socks went? Seriously, I can only ever seem to find one sock from any given pair.


Errrr, on topic.... uh....

Crap. I can't really elaborate on anything I've already said or anything anyone else has said.

There is no DCM, it was nothing more than some swamp gas from a weather balloon getting trapped in a thermal pocket and reflecting the light from Venus.

Haha

Any way, I am not trying to sound crazy, but I think that it is still very credible that our planet has been visited by aliens; there are no facts, but there is no way to disapprove it, so who knows

There's no way to disprove that the world and all causality isn't controlled by invisible intangible bees either. So that's what I believe.

If it turned out aliens really had been here, I would be more shocked about the low probability of it than at the actual aliens.

You can't tell people about that man!

The Socks would be Malfred, I do beleive.

The universe is a finite place and the maths says it's pretty unlikely.
You may as well say "well there's all these grains of sand, one of them must be a completely accurate map of Chipping Norton".

No, the maths actually says that there should be at least one other form of life out there amongst the stars.

As for life, who says it has to be the same as us? It could be similar to us, it could be completely different. We have several theories as to how life came to be, we just haven't found which of the current theories, if any, is right.

Allegations of the DCM being an Alien cell designed to infiltrate human tactics of war via tabletop games are completely unbased.
There is NO alien conspiracy at dakka.

By no means did we forcibly upgrade Joey, no sir.

For God sake man, stop giving the pleebs our secrets!

You told the humans our name for them?

KC you pleeb!

Your stupid! Its contagious!!!

We've caught stupid from the pleebs!

We must prepare ourselves for destructionation.

This is why the OT is a great way to kill time. Anywho, enough for me being so off topic, Id feel bad for getting his thread closed.


Aliens, they're out there.

Of course they are, we're...

I mean yes back on topic aliens are probably out there, I doubt they'd come to the OT, I mean earth, though.

There are about ten thousand billion billion habitable planets in the observable universe given our knowledge of it right now. That's a one with 21 zeroes after it.. Why would I believe that it is remotely likely that none of these planets have life on them?

If you mean "grey-skinned invaders with anal probes and flying saucers", then no.

Perhaps Aliens are aware of us but, as we are so far behind technologically, they choose to ignore us.

Maybe we are the Plebs of the Milky Way.

I for one embrace our Alien superiors, wherever they may be.

Sounds like quite the party.
