These highly educated *really, really smart* fuckers just don't get it

Dude, these 'aliens' aren't really alien and they definitely aren't 'extra-terrestrial' they're extra-dimensional.


"If we find aliens they will be machines."

Talk about clueless.

he looks like Spike Milligan. Talks about as much sense. Economics not enough of an incentive to go to the moon? hmmm. What will incentivize humans to go "back" to the moon?

And machines sending signals.... they will be autonomous self aware machines or simply transmitter machines transmitting the chatter of an organism that made them? Who is going to make these machines? Or has made them? They just coalesced out of some kind of primordial silicon soup?

That man talks like he wants to create something so that he can be on par with God himself it won't happen in his lifetime but he is trying hard to establish those seeds in future minds to bring about this crazy nonsense


man cannot create life except the way God ordained man can only create machines that is why he keeps talking about this. Over and over and over again because that is something that they can control circuits and resistors but they can't control the flesh or the mind much less the soul so they tried to religate the soul out of the equation can't you get old cackling birds talking this bull

He's saying if we find evidence of intelligent life outside of our solar system it will be from AI machines.

I completely agree with this.

I believe all intelligent organic life will either become synthetic life or be eradicated. Intelligent organic life is a blip in time in the cosmos.

I'm not following the logic at all. It seems like he saying that since people require machines to survive outside our solar system, every form of life does.

That's like saying since people can't breath underwater, no form of life could. Oh wait, is that a fish swimming? That fish must be a machine.

Huh?

Huh?

Here is a quote from the article.

"Prof Lord Rees, 72, told the Cheltenham Science Festival ‘I’m not holding my breath’ for signs of extraterrestrial life, but said if a signal was picked up it would not be from organic life, like humans."

This is one of the stupidest things I've read. How could we possibly know what life God created out there?

There could be life on Mars, but since we don't see it, it doesn't exist.

Ummm if you know the distance between the stars its unlikely life can get from one star to another without a ton of resources and generations of lives. Frankly it's not going to happen unless machines by themselves do it.

Again I don't know how what he's saying is wrong. It makes a ton of sense to me.

If this is a Creation vs Evolution debate then I'm sure you guys won't get it either.

There could be life on the moon that we don't know about. The assumption is/was that complex life forms need oxygen to survive. That's already been proven wrong.

Heck, we don't even know about all the life on our own planet yet. A quote from this article....

"Scientists don’t yet fully understand the biochemistry—but the discovery opens the possibility of complex life forms on oxygen-free planets."

I know that. I'm talking about intelligent life though.

[Hitch]

I know that. I'm talking about intelligent life though.

I am talking about intelligent life too. That is if you consider humans intelligent. Maybe we shouldn't be considered intelligent.
