The distances is what blows my mind the most.

That's why I think there is life elsewhere but for two living things to be in the same space and time just isnt possible.

Does the bowl just happen to be the perfect shape to hold the water that perfectly fills it?

Or, does the water just exist where it can?
View Quote
The bowl has a creator who makes all sorts of bowls.  The water may or may not have a creator.  So, regardless, there is a huge influence by a creator.

I don't remember the guy's name and I'm sure there are books and/or other videos, but Ben Shapiro did an interview with a scientist who has come to the conclusion that it CAN'T be an accident. Some of it was a little over my head, but the gist of it was that mathematically, the chance that the universe and life on Earth arising by chance is basically impossible.

Was pretty interesting.

Alternatively, it could just be that there are an infinite number of universes and therefore the universe we live in and life on Earth as we know MUST arise in at least some of them.

Either way, shit will indeed make your head spin. Especially if you are ingesting certain chemicals.

There is no "MUST" when dealing with a data set of precisely 1, namely, the earth.  We can draw no conclusions based on the data because 1) the data is so sparse and 2) there may be an influence by a creator in which case the creator calls all the shots.  We can "guess", but that's based 100% on the assumption that there is not creator, only random chance.

So the statement that there simply MUST be other life in the universe because the universe is so vast is completely false.  It assumes several things not in evidence.  At all.

And you might equally counter that amongst the billions of planets, we know of only one where life worked out a way.
View Quote
That is correct.  Which supports my assertion that we can't make ANY assumptions because we have a data set of precisely 1 - we are unique as far as we know.  There is no actual data anywhere that indicates ET life.  None.  Only assumptions based on a minute data set and a really big universe.  That's ALL we know for sure.  If you took a single data point to any legit scientist and said "Build me a model of this single unique thing that proves another like it exists" you would be laughed out of the lab.

Lol, at this point in the game we don't know if life is rare. We've only checked one planet and life blankets that planet, it's found almost everywhere. In fact, places devoid of life on this planet are hard to find.

It is very much a possibility that life is endemic to the universe and that it's not rare at all. We have very very little data on the subject.

The moon is the only one we’ve checked and this may come as a shock, it’s not a planet.

I'm always amazed by how many fundamentalist religion nuts there are.    Science is fascinating and the developments in recent years have been pretty incredible.  It must really suck to be threatened by and unable to appreciate it.

And to all those talking about probabilities and statistics, just what are the odds that intelligent life would develop on a plant circling a star, and the planet would just happen to have a moon who's apparent angular diameter just matches that of the star, when viewed from the planet?

I'll say the odds are 100%, because it did happen.
View Quote
As far as my post, and again I'm paraphrasing from something that I saw a while back and I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but it wasn't just "probabilities and statistics"

This particular scientist was comparing it to other complex systems. It had to do with the "information" contained in life/the universe/etc. and how that information and how he'd basically concluded it's patterns could not have arisen randomly.

Anyway here's the video. Not saying this is definitive. I just thought it was interesting.

You misread. The MUST is that if there are infinite universes then life must exist in at least one (or more likely billions) of them. Basically anything that can happen will (must) happen in all those universes. Not saying I subscribe to that theory but that's my understanding of it.

Maybe he meant “what is it expanding in to?” Which is interesting in and of itself.

The balloon analogy fails at that point because at least we know what a balloon expands into

The balloon is the universe. Just like the Big Bang wasn’t really a explosion, but a rapid expansion

  We haven't.  And we've had probes on/around others to basically be sure that Mercury is so close to the Sun and Venus has a runaway greenhouse condition so that as we know it is impossible.
