: We should document the debate about spending vast amounts of money on the ideological crusade which is SETI. Exobiology isn't science at all. Good on Aschlafly for pointing that out. --[[User:Pacman|Pacman]] 10:26, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

:::Nor did the Bible define the world (''cosmos'') as limited to the Eurasian-African contiguous land mass. And even the ''inhabited'' world (''oikoumenes'') could stretch to fit.
:::Nonsense, the exploration of the new world was based on the common sense observation that the world was round and partially unmapped, combined with extrapolating from the observed fact that humans were widespread in the known world. It was entirely reasonable to send ships to trade with and explore the blank bits of the map.
:::What the Bible has no warrant for is ''extraterrestrial nation-states and civilizations.'' If you want more details, see my article on [[extraterrestrial life]].--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 12:06, 16 April 2007 (EDT)
:::By contrast, exobiologists concoct a fantasy version of space that is the exact opposite of what has been observed. The hard science of it is that the universe is big and empty. --[[User:Pacman|Pacman]] 12:36, 16 April 2007 (EDT)
