If it wasnt for people 'wasting' billions you wouldnt have your PC, your microwave, your fridge to chill your beer etc etc. This anti-science stuff is funny when you consider the irony.

::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&mdash;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!
