Great argument quantum. /sarcasm

Because we haven't created life means their is some higher power? Is the earth flat too?

Quantum firstly I think you're wrong on your create an organism point. They created a synthetic organism years ago. And just a few days ago they announced they created an organism with synthetic DNA that transferred the faux DNA as it grew. Soooo...they kinda seem to know something.

As for the whole fluke thing, life didn't happen once on this planet. It's happened over and over again. Humans aren't the only creature. There's everything from single cell to complex. From walking, swimming and flying. Herbivore, carnivores and omnivores. Life on this planet has nearly died and come back. It's gone extinct for one group and evolved to live on in another. It's survived volcanic earth, greenhouse earth and ice age earth. And flourished.

If life has survived everything it took to survive on this planet and all the elements needed for life exist on billions of other worlds, it crazy to believe there isn't something or someone else out there. This planet has thrown everything but the kitchen sink at life and just about everything else the universe has got yet here were are debating this.

And if it's creationism you believe in you're being a little narcissistic to believe god created a vast universe just so the sky could be pretty at night for you. It ain't about you. Religious people seem to think it is. If god created a vast universe it was to populate it with things to worship it. So again, it ain't just about you. Hate to break it to you like that. Check your guide books, the fact of worshipping means it's about the god.

Yes, some people have loser mentality like that unfortunately

Theories that are stated as facts. Thats my point! Theories are not facts. The stuff they are coming out with is not fact as it cannot be proven.

That is a fact.

All the gullible people in this comment chain need to get a grip rather than get your backs up.

Whatever we "waste" on NASA is nothing compared to what we "waste" on the military.

Whatever we "waste" on NASA.

I'll try to remember that the next time I pull my GPS out.

My issue is that Nasa has a monopoly on the research they produce, so whatever crazy shit they wanna say, they can. And it makes me cringe sometimes when they release (almost yearly) news about how the moon is "never gonna be bigger!" or "4 of the planets are aligned, and it'll never happen for another 700 years!" or "We found 10 Earth-like planets, 42 light years away!"

it's like, after a while, please give us something tangible. To the toad ripping off Neil deGrasse Tyson's talking point regarding GPS's, again, it's a part of their monopoly on space. Like a cashier expecting endless appraisal for being the only type of worker who can help you make purchases. It's like, "okay, great, you exist, but, it's hard to keep thanking you for the same things."

I respect NASA for what they do, but little anecdotes like these are getting to be a little annoying. Lastly, I clearly don't care if I'm not aligned with the mob mentality. I'd rather be entirely honest.
