Well said snex. Well said. With that evidence, there HAS to be other life in the universe.
You mean that it was a hoax? 'Cause the first persons who made those crop circles said it had been a hoax. Yet there are still ignorant people talking about that today...
there is also no reason to think that there isnt. its all a matter of probabilities. the limit on the speed of light will prevent us from ever making any kind of meaningful contact.
I think he meant (creation-wise of course)
I don't understand that. Can you explain it in a way that this high-schooler can understand?
Don't have to. Anything said would just be likeley unreasonable conjecture.
No. There are some which are hoaxes, but not all.
So the crop circles that they were inspired by were made by them. Of course, they probably made those crop circles throughout the world and hundreds of years ago. They must have mad skills.
Of course it does. The universe being huge and full of planets doesn't mean there's life anywhere near the scope of humanity. We may find some cow-like or dinosaur-like organisms. I think there's a very good chance we'll find critters under Europan ice. However, they aren't the kind of intelligent life I'm talking about.
That's a pretty flawed comparison. Let's say you have fifty dice with each having a million sides. What are the chances you're going to roll the same number on each die?
if you took dadepsak's advice and read my original two posts, youd see that the number of dice and sides we are talking about in this situation are not as drastic as you think. have you ever been to china? do you believe there are human beings there?
Regarding crop circles, yes, they all are. What other explanation do you have? As for abductions and all the rest, besides, hoaxes, explanations could be: retardedness, drugs, etc.
It was a hoax the first time, and then more people started doing it. There's no other explanation to this. Nothing else than humans created crop circles.
snex pretty much covered it anyway.
So you're saying there are very few variables essential for life. Of course, for certain known forms of life like bacteria this is true, but there aren't any known multi-cellular organisms capable of living in the more universally common extreme conditions.
You're taking talking points from the mouths of the stubborn scientific elite. The crop circles aren't all hoaxes. People just though it was a hoax because some Brits said it was and it was far easier for people to believe because it upset no commonly-held beliefs. While some have been blamed on tornadoes only one theory actually explains the issue properly. It's not aliens, but they aren't all made by hoaxers, though the majority are. There's a story from a few hundred years ago involving a crop circle. The story gave a description and picture just like a crop circle and described odd lights the night it was made. Clearly they aren't all hoaxes.
The Brits claiming to have started the hoax were inspired by other less elaborate circles. The more complicated designs are definitely all human, but not all crop circles are.
I know of the hoaxers, but not all crop circles are manmade. Radiation has been detected at some sites and no clear sign of entry is found. Plus, crop circles often give men a "viagra effect" that gives them an erection upon entering a site.
Source: Rense.comThe earliest known crop circle, known as the "Mowing Devil," is shown on this woodcut from Hertfordshire, England, 1678. The inscription on the woodcut is as follows:
Being a True Relation of a Farmer, who Bargaining with a Poor Mower, about the Cutting down Three Half Acres of Oats: upon the Mower's asking too much, the Farmer swore That the Devil should Mow it rather than He. And so it fell out, that very Night, the Crop of Oat shew'd as if it had been all of a flame: but next Morning appear'd so neatly mow'd by the Devil or some Infernal Spirit, that no Mortal Man was able to do the like. Also, How the said Oats ly now in the Field, and the Owner has not Power to fetch them away.
no, im saying that there are virtually infinite stars where such variables could be fulfilled.
abduction stories can be explained by Aware Sleep Paralysis, a common sleep condition that psychics and other pseudoscientists love to take advantage of.
thats where id put my money. if its doable by humans, why assume it was anything else?
the question of the topic is, in fact, in regards to the whole universe, not just the galaxy.
Of course, that just means there's a good chance of life, not highly advanced civillizations.
Yeah that totally explains, not all of them. That explains the stuff in sleep, but not all situations as many occur while a person is completely awake.
I was figuring you'd say it was also a hoax, but then how come it wasn't as common? Plus, there was no description indicating human involvement and it clearly a vortex as some crop circles can be explained with.
I don't care how often you put it up, I'm not reading it, even if I had money to buy it or even if it was at my local library. He basically said UFOs were little more than religion, probably leaning towards it being a completely human construct. Sad to say, science shows us quite clearly how this isn't likely.
I haven't read through all of Fermi's Paradox, but this sentence alone may prove that the whole Paradox doesn't make sense anymore. Gas planets can orbit close to their stars, in fact, all extrasolar planets discovered to this date orbit around their star from a range between the distance of Jupiter and the Sun. Some of theses gas giants's distance to their star is even 5% that between Mercury and the Sun.
What do you suggest was it that created the crop circle, then?
Plasma.

I tell you to read the book because you desperately need critical thought. Look: you think that a single ancient uncorroborated news story means crop circles aren't hoaxes. But...couldn't that story be a hoax?
Maybe life is a hoax.
I pointed that out, but it's only one of the many accounts of crop circles before those two Brits. Heck, they were inspired by crop circles. Read that source I gave, I'm not talking about aliens. The only reason crop circle accounts, U.F.O. sightings and the like have become more common is planes. Planes meant many were seeing things they could only see from the sky, like crop circles, were more likely to run into U.F.O.s, and there were more thing to confuse with real U.F.O.s.Does any of this involve plasmas?
Nope. Pretty solid. I just don't read books often, let alone a book that probably has predictable material. I especially don't read books that strangers tell me over the Internet I "need." I'm capable of critical thinking and I'm also very questionable to what is perceived as "truth."
