but we don't know if they're insects yet! ranagrande Send a noteboard - 01/12/2010 12:55:52 AM
As the more inclusive term, "alien" is much more appropriate. I want to be welcoming even if they turn out to be the aforementioned boring primitive bacterial kind of overlords.

If there is life in the solar system then it is likely a natural development in the universe. Tom - 30/11/2010 05:12:38 AM 686 Views

Seems to put atheists in a bit of a catch-22 there. Ghavrel - 30/11/2010 05:54:25 AM 810 Views
Bwa? Craig - 30/11/2010 06:45:33 AM 740 Views

Using anthropomorphic terms to describe the universe only reflects on you, not on the universe. *NM* Dreaded Anomaly - 30/11/2010 07:31:04 PM 331 Views
What an arbitrary and meaningless statement. *NM* Ghavrel - 30/11/2010 07:52:13 PM 269 Views
Anthropomorphizing concepts is a cognitive bias. Dreaded Anomaly - 30/11/2010 11:19:23 PM 644 Views
Only given a certain metaphysical framework. Ghavrel - 01/12/2010 12:18:09 AM 688 Views
Mind dumbing that down a bit? Isaac - 01/12/2010 12:43:47 AM 625 Views
I think he is saying Darth_Katie - 01/12/2010 01:26:34 AM 817 Views
That ain't not a lot simpler Isaac - 01/12/2010 01:35:38 AM 752 Views
Yes. Darth_Katie - 01/12/2010 01:44:41 AM 717 Views
In short, demanding that everyone use your particular worldview is unfair. Ghavrel - 01/12/2010 02:21:26 AM 741 Views
Those worldviews are unsupported by empirical evidence. Dreaded Anomaly - 01/12/2010 01:41:27 AM 827 Views
No worldviews are supported by empirical evidence. *NM* ranagrande - 01/12/2010 01:57:23 AM 311 Views
Empiricism is unsupported by empirical evidence. *NM* Ghavrel - 01/12/2010 02:21:52 AM 275 Views
Empirical evidence is the only objective standard. Dreaded Anomaly - 01/12/2010 02:59:18 AM 686 Views
Empirical evidence cannot fully explain reality. ranagrande - 01/12/2010 03:28:41 AM 779 Views

Time does not exist separately from space, as Einstein demonstrated almost a century ago. Dreaded Anomaly - 01/12/2010 03:36:56 AM 773 Views
I have my own theories about time, but they're not ready for presentation yet ranagrande - 01/12/2010 03:56:38 AM 1035 Views

Interesting. I agree with what you're saying, actually. Ghavrel - 30/11/2010 07:49:51 PM 619 Views
It won't change the argument in the least. Dannymac - 01/12/2010 05:26:16 AM 812 Views
I have the feeling it's probably not going to be that. Ghavrel - 30/11/2010 06:02:48 AM 701 Views

I'll not bow to any mere Bacterial Overlords, Eukaryote Overlords only!!! *NM* Isaac - 01/12/2010 01:02:20 AM 284 Views
So you're prejudiced against the nuclearly challenged? ranagrande - 01/12/2010 01:09:57 AM 653 Views
It's this kind of blind adherence to political correctness that is tearing us apart! Darth_Katie - 01/12/2010 01:28:39 AM 629 Views
Down right genocidal toward them Isaac - 01/12/2010 01:31:47 AM 629 Views
Genocide is a bit extreme ranagrande - 01/12/2010 02:13:18 AM 661 Views
