Holy Ridiculous Search for Intelligent Life Batman, maybe there are bacteria on those distant planets right now! Too bad they won't evolve for 2.5 billion years. Too bad people don't understand that the universal scales of time and space will forever prevent any communication with any other possible intelligent life forms. Too bad we are wasting money on these things.
to bad people like brahman are so closed minded to realize that we are not alone, to bad he is to dumb to think that any intelligent life out there is most likely thousands of years more advanced than human life and has probably visted us on many occasions over there years
We are learning about the universe around us. A few hundred years ago we learned the world is not flat and we won't fall off the edge, now we're learning how other solar systems work. The existence of extraterrestrial life is irrelevant to the scientific value of understanding our universe, whether we can fathom an immediate application of that knowledge or not.
The only (intelligent ???) life form we will never be able to communicate with appears to be Brahman. (And he probably means 'wholly' not 'holy')
...none of this makes Brahman wrong. The more we find out, the more life looks to be pretty rare.
