:::And ''you'', ColinR, have done an excellent job in presenting an argument that, as I'm sure that [[User:Aschlafly|Andrew]] could explain to you, is incompetent, irrelevant, and immaterial. And worse yet, you contradict yourself! Why should I regard extraterrestrial ''visitation'' of [[earth]] as at all likely, given the distances you just got finished mentioning? But the larger point is this: the numbers, however large, of other stars or galaxies do not prove that life, much less self-aware life, exists on any of them, are not relevant to the question of whether ET civilization exists or not, and ''do not matter'' to the question at hand, which is: whether ''the [[Bible]]'' allows for the possibility.

:::Jesus died '''once'''. And '''once only'''. That's it. Final. And I don't have to show you where the Bible says that other races don't exist. '''You''' have to show '''me''' where the Bible admits that other races '''do''' exist, or even '''might''' exist.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 15:15, 17 April 2007 (EDT)

::::I've never claimed intelligent life has visited Earth, in fact I think that's a rather preposterous claim. While the numbers don't prove life exists elsewhere, the overwhelming odds suggest that believing life doesn't exist is rather unintelligent. And no, the burden of proof lies on you. You wrote the article, you made the false claims, now you have to back up what you said. So now, could you please a: show me how my argument is incompetent, irrelevant, and immaterial, and b: verify your ridiculous claims that the Bible doesn't allow life elsewhere, otherwise I will remove that information from the article. The ball's in your court. <font color="FFD700">[[User:ColinR|ColinR]]</font><sup><font color="000000">[[User_talk:ColinR|talk]]</font></sup> 15:20, 17 April 2007 (EDT)
