→Is Evolution Truly Scientific?
:Of course, you missed the point of why I said that Project SETI is a waste of time: it's because they're looking for something, or rather someone, who cannot possibly exist.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 19:10, 18 April 2008 (EDT)

::Because the Bible doesn't mention them? Last I checked, some other things the Bible doesn't mention anywhere: Microbes, North and South America, Space-time distortion in gravity fields, DNA, internal combustion engines, radioactivity, eyelash mites, the planet Neptune, heat vent worms, and democracy. Should we conclude they don't exist, either? --[[User:Gulik5|Gulik5]] 02:09, 19 April 2008 (EDT)

:::Concerning ET's: Not only because the Bible fails to mention them, but because their presence would contradict the purpose of [[Jesus Christ]]'s visit to [[earth]]. And also because no serious astronomer, when pressed, would be able to give an answer that could hold up to the question of where ET could come from. FYI, our [[Sun]] is in the middle of a thin "habitable ring" that is probably not much wider than the span between the perigalacticon and apogalacticon of the Sun vis-à-vis the [[Galaxy]]. Further to that, we're in a sparsely populated zone and hence not subject to lethal doses of ionizing radiation from neighboring stars. And don't go looking to [[Alpha Centauri]], either—that's a double star, and rocky planets cannot be habitable in double-star systems. (Again, too many rads.) In sum, ours in an extra-special star in an extra-special place in an extra-special galaxy, made [[anthropic principle|just for us]].--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 10:09, 19 April 2008 (EDT){{cquote|Pay no attention to the man working the muppet waldoes!
