Scientists find "strongest evidence yet" of life on distant planet. "This could be the tipping point"

[gmark77]

Faith that there is a god who has abilities I not only don't understand but don't have the capacity to understand.

I am always fascinated at how important it is that we not be allowed to "understand" God. It's a helpful dodge since no one can agree on what God is really like (hence the zillions of different religions) so it's best if we just throw up our hands and say "I believe in something without evidence but that's because I can't possibly understand it so don't ask me to explain it!"

Once you accept your mortality faith comes easier and life become infinitely more rewarding.

Faith is usually based on fear of one's mortality. Facing mortality without the promise of an afterlife, that takes some skill. And it truly DOES make life more rewarding since we know this is the ONLY GO-ROUND we get on the wheel.

the value of religion is the morality (or lack thereof) that it inculcate in it's adherents.



but you don't want to talk about that because you are demonic and evil.

I understand god to the best of my ability but there are things that other humans understand that I don't much less god. As Dirty Harry said, A man's got to know his limitations.

My observations has been that godlessness is what drives western society's unnatural obsession with longevity to the point it's threatening to bankrupt us. This is a life of anxiety, not peace.

Well, I'm open to the possibility of a creator, be it an individual being or some kind of intelligent force with a particular grand purpose, but a "God" living in some kingdom somewhere controlling events and judging the worthiness of individuals etc, seems illogical and far fetched to me.

It seems like the kind of thing that was created in the minds of men during a period in world history where knowledge of the physical world was extremely limited and superstition was what people turned to, in order to explain things they didn't understand.

I'm just another guy who feels that the universe is so unimaginably vast and with such an unimaginably high number of stars and planets, that it would be extremely likely or highly probable that there are an abundance of other worlds with life at various stages of development.

Some of the least moral people I've ever known can spout biblical quotes all day long.

Spout the Bible out of one face while singing the praises of trump out of the other.

It has nothing to do with Trump and by invoking him in the conversation you greatly diminish what was an otherwise decent exchange.

Well, when somebody quotes the Bible and talks about Jesus, then supports the one guy who's behind the cruelty and lack of respect for the sanctity of families just because they haven't gone through an administrative process, it's impossible not to reference trump because it's all him....

Trump is meeting with Putin as we type. Something Biden refused to do.

Having a meeting doesn't mean much

What's going on in the meeting?

What is trump pushing or advocating for?

This could be some kind of trump scam on the US or a Putin scam on trump.

Biden wouldn't meet with Putin because Putin wouldn't budge on annexing part(s) of Ukraine, something the Ukrainians reject.

Also, Putin is a war criminal.

US Presidents should not sit down for face to face meetings with war criminals.

This lends legitimacy to Putin by giving him the "photo ops" with POTUS that he needs. Putin ain't giving up any demand in Alaska and if anything actually happens it WILL mean Ukraine got screwed.

The fact Trump is holding unilateral talks with the AGGRESSOR is definitely a "new thing" for America. Normally the level of appeasement Trump is prone to give Putin is rivaled only by Chamberlin.

Trump, for his part, is mysteriously thinking he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize so he has this infantile belief that this will result in the resolution of the conflict and his ascendency to the vaunted heights of Nobel Laureates.

If Trump wins a Nobel it means that the Nobel Prize is now worth it's weight in human feces.

We're having a good conversation here. Carl Sagan wrote about NASA being hijacked by the war machine. Musk wants us to believe we can terraform mars. We should be spending taxpayer dollars on infrastructure right here at home so Americans have high-speed rail like advanced civilizations.

Now you stoop to psychoquackery!

You stoop to posting dozens of strawmen and avoid answering anything actually said.

I know what Al2O3 is. Where did it come from such that it would act as a catalyst for the reaction you outlined? Show me a real-world example where DMS spontaneously formed using this reaction.

Or shut up

Then why did you ask? You asked for the properties of aluminum oxide. I provided some of them.
I have already described how dimethylsulfide is prepared without requiring life. It is prepared on an industrial basis this way.

LOL. You don't have a clue what you are talking about here. You think because you have found a synthetic pathway that it must occur in nature spontaneously. That's pretty clueless of you.

 

[Into the Night]

Um everybody knows that National Enquirer is a tabloid.

...and you believe every word of it.

 

[Into the Night]

Are you back to that tired old hoseshit again???

Every time I get you stymied and frustrated, you go desperately running back to that garbage.

You should go back to your school books and try to pass 7th grade this year, Turbo Turd.

Tobytone is stymied and frustrated???

Musk never mentioned anything about terraforming Mars. It is not possible to terraform any planet or moon.

It is YOU that doesn't have a clue. Inversion fallacy. Argument of the Stone fallacy. It does occur in nature spontaneously. I have already provided an example.

Agreed for the most part.

America's space program should be geared towards building better and more powerful deep space telescopes like Hubble and Webb.

I think we learn more from them, or we could potentially learn more from them and obtain greater benefits from them, than sending humans to Mars.

Maybe in a hundred or two hundred years if technology advances to the point that such a trip would be safe, relatively quick and cost effective then ok.

But for now we should be exploring the far reaches via pictures sent back from unmanned craft.
