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 708 Views

Seems to put atheists in a bit of a catch-22 there. Ghavrel - 30/11/2010 05:54:25 AM 841 Views
Bwa? Craig - 30/11/2010 06:45:33 AM 762 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 337 Views
What an arbitrary and meaningless statement. *NM* Ghavrel - 30/11/2010 07:52:13 PM 275 Views
Anthropomorphizing concepts is a cognitive bias. Dreaded Anomaly - 30/11/2010 11:19:23 PM 667 Views
Only given a certain metaphysical framework. Ghavrel - 01/12/2010 12:18:09 AM 712 Views
Mind dumbing that down a bit? Isaac - 01/12/2010 12:43:47 AM 647 Views
I think he is saying Darth_Katie - 01/12/2010 01:26:34 AM 839 Views
That ain't not a lot simpler Isaac - 01/12/2010 01:35:38 AM 773 Views
Yes. Darth_Katie - 01/12/2010 01:44:41 AM 736 Views
In short, demanding that everyone use your particular worldview is unfair. Ghavrel - 01/12/2010 02:21:26 AM 761 Views
Those worldviews are unsupported by empirical evidence. Dreaded Anomaly - 01/12/2010 01:41:27 AM 851 Views
No worldviews are supported by empirical evidence. *NM* ranagrande - 01/12/2010 01:57:23 AM 318 Views
Empiricism is unsupported by empirical evidence. *NM* Ghavrel - 01/12/2010 02:21:52 AM 283 Views
Empirical evidence is the only objective standard. Dreaded Anomaly - 01/12/2010 02:59:18 AM 709 Views
Empirical evidence cannot fully explain reality. ranagrande - 01/12/2010 03:28:41 AM 801 Views

Time does not exist separately from space, as Einstein demonstrated almost a century ago. Dreaded Anomaly - 01/12/2010 03:36:56 AM 791 Views
I have my own theories about time, but they're not ready for presentation yet ranagrande - 01/12/2010 03:56:38 AM 1060 Views

Interesting. I agree with what you're saying, actually. Ghavrel - 30/11/2010 07:49:51 PM 642 Views
It won't change the argument in the least. Dannymac - 01/12/2010 05:26:16 AM 834 Views
I have the feeling it's probably not going to be that. Ghavrel - 30/11/2010 06:02:48 AM 719 Views

I'll not bow to any mere Bacterial Overlords, Eukaryote Overlords only!!! *NM* Isaac - 01/12/2010 01:02:20 AM 291 Views
So you're prejudiced against the nuclearly challenged? ranagrande - 01/12/2010 01:09:57 AM 666 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 653 Views
Down right genocidal toward them Isaac - 01/12/2010 01:31:47 AM 651 Views
Genocide is a bit extreme ranagrande - 01/12/2010 02:13:18 AM 681 Views
