[meteorite-list] Alien Contact Predicted

[Phil Whitmer]

Eric:

It's my belief that We Are Alone!  There's nobody out there.  Life and 
intelligence is a singularity, a miracle, call it what you will, it only 
happened once, here on good old Planet Earth. We are the Seed that will 
spread throughout the Universe by Space Migration.  It's our manifest 
destiny and a matter of survival.  Nobody knows how or why it happened, it 
just did. It was either God or chance, take your pick.  There are those who 
claim otherwise, but they have yet to provide even the thinnest shred of 
evidence.  Those who make extraordinary claims must provide some 
extraordinary evidence to back it up.  And they never do! Not one person 
abducted by ETs has ever grabbed  an alien cellphone or anything else to 
prove they were aboard an intergalactic space ship.

The argument for aliens goes something like this: "Well there's billions and 
billions of galaxies, one of them has to harbor life. It just has to! You 
know,   a billion monkeys typing for a billion years, and one of them writes 
a Shakespearean Sonnet or the Book of Genesis, whatever. I think they will 
just type gibberish for eternity. Life doesn't just pop up all over the 
place. It can never be created in the laboratory. It's impossible to make 
live stuff out of dead stuff! (Except for that one time.)

This argument puts a lot of faith in Chance and the Laws of Probability. 
Might as well say Yahweh or Brahma did it.  Evolution guided by chance and 
probability, how is that any different from chaos and total randomness?

And why do the aliens always appear in trailer parks and never at Houston 
Control, NAU,  or the JPL?

Now if I could see one bit of hard evidence, I would change my mind in a 
minute.

Just my dos pesos,

Phil Whitmer
