It's really stupid to not believe in aliens given the size of the universe.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 62 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's really stupid to believe aliens visited earth given the size of the universe.

[–] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What about the American people constantly complaining about aliens illegally entering their country? Explain this!

[–] tauren@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

Fucking Englishmen in New York.

[–] entwine413@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I also agree with this statement, although it's well within the realm of possibility that life on Earth was seeded by an ancient extraterrestrial civilization. That's a timescale of a few billion years.

But it's still not as stupid as thinking that the supreme creator of the infinite universe has a personal interest in how you live your life.

That would make some sense if not for overwhelming proof of evolution of both, animals and nature that started out with pretty much nothing

[–] LanguageIsCool@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I like to entertain the idea that something similar to mushroom spores were emitted throughout a part of space and mostly didn’t work but, where it did, life was ready to ride evolution all over again from just the basics. Just fun to think about. I’m not a witch, don’t burn me

Also given the scale of time of the universe. We as humans have only existed for a small amout of time on the vast scale of things.

Countless alien civilizations may have existed and destroyed themselves, and may others may have not come into existence yet.

I'd believe it when I see evidence. Otherwise it's just a possibility.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

alien doesn't necessarily mean sapient, humanoid or even anything larger than a walnut. if you took life on earth as a sample of the universe it would be much more likely for an alien lifeform to be a plant or bacteria. and even an animal is more likely to be an insect than a mammal-like animal, much less anything humanoid.

(someone should look into the numbers my source is just vague memory at this point)

[–] dgbbad@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

We are the evidence. Life can happen. It's been proven. If it's happening here, it's crazy to think we are somehow special and it's not happening somewhere else out there.

[–] capybara@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

People who are interested in aliens and UFOs rarely solely make this argument. Often, they've encountered or somehow know of these aliens.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

If aliens haven't been to earth, how come all the bigots keep bitching about illegal ones? 🤔

I think we should be looking inter dimensionally for alien life rather than extraterrestrial.

Logic in religion? That's your first mistake there.

[–] cuuube@lemmy.world 41 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I swear this post is straight from 9gag. It feels like it was made 15 years ago......

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

15 years ago it was mostly lolcats and rage comics.

[–] Oka@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pretty sure 15 years ago was like...1998

Why won’t you get the vaccine? “Because idk what’s in it.” Why did you get Chinese dick and hair pills? “Because I NEED it!”

Well God is an alien, by definition.

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He's supoosedly everywhere, but i don't think he has any papers, he's an illegal alien

If god is anything, why not crab

[–] Noam_Parenti@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A lot of Christians will say no to believing in Aliens but because they believe God created humans and gave us the universe.

Or in a similar vain, because aliens aren't mentioned in the Bible they don't think they are real.

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Does the Bible mention Mario kart

[–] Noam_Parenti@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm not at all saying this is how I feel.

I was raised a Christian and considered myself one until I reached the age of reason. So I have some insight into how they think.

Well I've never seen air. Nor oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, the list goes on and on. I've never seen Ukraine, but I do believe there is some awful shit going on over there.

Maybe god wasn't capable of creating aliens...

[–] cattywampas@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Maybe God created the speed of light to keep players region-locked.

In my younger years I tried to make sense of the ‘God created humans’ thing by envisioning lots of aliens species with lots of gods, each catering for their own pets. Then I wondered if these gods would compete over who had the best pet, or would go to war with each other.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

That why I don't believe in Bird

[–] JackLSauce@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Interesting logic or backstory?
