90+% of all humans have/do believe in something you don't. You may call it a magical unicorn on Venus, if you like. Doesn't really matter. What matters is why you believe it DOESN'T exist, when, for most of us, it's just assumed.

How are both equally plausible according to that logic? Why are you saying that 'science proves things' like it has any relevance to what you are saying?

Most people believed the world was flat at one point in history. Today, only the republicans do. What is your point?

An analogy is that science hasn't proved life exists elsewhere, so you're claiming life doesn't exist elsewhere.

How much deeper can you dig your hole?

"Most" people you are talking about didn't know, didn't care, and the thought probably never entered their mind. But they did believe in God. Something you still aren't sure about. I'd say they were already a step ahead of you.

Not necessarily, NASA has proof that many planets orbit a star like ours by direct observation through a telescope. So it's very likely that life does exist elsewhere. Do you have observation of God through a telescope?

You can't state this.

There is evidence that there are planets that orbit stars at distances that would produce potentially habitable environments. Thus it is possible that life similar to that on earth could exist. "Very likely" is sloppy and not something a scientist would say.

I have to ask: Groggy, how old are you?

LOL.

I just noticed "Dexter's table". Is that new or did I just not notice it before?

I watched that show a few times but I confess, in the end it creeped me out too much.

I don't claim to be a scientist. I created this thread with a simple question that still has not been answered by anyone that is intellectually honest.

The location is pretty old, two years or so. On the whole I don't watch much dramatic television, but have the first 5 seasons of Dexter on DVD/Blu-Ray. Seasons 2 & 4 are great TV.

The wheels on the bus go round and round.

Have they found one that isn't a gas planet, that actually has a surface? I haven't been keeping up, obviously.

Are you a retard? Serious question.

Kepler-22b?

EDIT:
"...suggesting Kepler-22b does not have Earth-like composition. It is likely to have a more volatile-rich composition with a liquid or gaseous outer shell."

****!
