ugh... and this comes from a boy who wasn't even born during any of these moon landings...kind of like a parrot, just repeating what you hear?

just the odds alone says there has to be other life out there... 100 billion galaxies each with 100 billion suns?

We are finding new planets orbiting other stars constantly at this point in time. Many in the 'Goldilocks' zone, that is, not too close to its star or not too far away to support life.

Given that these planets may have water and other necessary molecules, the chances are quite high that life may exist on these planets, but the chances are also high that this life may not be capable of developing tools, and ultimately, the technology required for interstellar travel. We each determining factor that produced intelligent life on Earth, the likelihood of finding similar life forms elsewhere diminishes. Having said that, with what we know about the climate extremes that can sustain life on Earth, it is possible to find primitive cellular creatures in abundance throughout the universe.

All so true. In addition, the old theory of life being created by sunlight and lightning in our primordial oceans is supplemented (maybe even replaced) with the efficient engine of the black smoker, which is likely to exist on billions of other planets. The black smoker takes the chemicals of life and provides them with all the heat and energy necessary to evolve and grow. This process may even allow for life outside of the Goldilocks zone.

As mentioned above, a key to what "we" consider intelligent life is the combination of brain power and tool making. The tool making is less likely to develop if we use Earth as the standard.

The information processing part of the brain may be more powerful in a bottle nosed dolphin than a human being.

I have a theory of my own. That we are inside the body of an entity and our galaxy to it is like a protron to us.

i've heard worse theories... but not bad actually

Never heard of that one. I believe that is a religious idea.

What I find crazy is that the scientific community continues to deny the existence of aliens.

Might have been true a decade ago, but with hands free, who can tell

i dont believe in aliens either.

The theory of charles darwin that we come from ape(evolution of men). Is it still a theory or already proven? This is to me is really crazy. I dont believe it at all.

Yes, evolution has been proven. In fact we have more real, hard evidence for evolution than any other theory in the history of science. It's much more than just the fossil records. Genetics (a science Darwin never dreamed of) fell into place exactly the way evolution predicted it should. All modern biology is based on evolution.

However, I must point out that evolution doesn't say we came from apes. Apes are modern animals just like we are. Evolution says we and apes share a common ancestor. This is a common mistake many people make though.

For an easy way to understand evolution and natural selection, think about artificial selection. We humans have bred dogs of every shape and size that could never survive in nature. We bred them for our own needs. Natural selection works in the same way except it chooses only the animals that are able to survive long enough to find a mate and breed. Those that don't are unable to pass on their genes and die out. Over a very long time tiny changes take place. Just as dogs are different from wolves, but came from wolves nonetheless.

Make sense?

I will read it first. I misunderstood maybe my teacher taught us but then i agree to what your point is. Stocked knowledge. Lol

There are a lot of very good videos on youtube.com on this subject. Just do a search for "Growing up in the universe" for a very easy to understand explanation.

They changed the name of it to "climate change."

Colorado seems to be getting warmer. It is February and today its RAINING. It is not very 'warm' but the usual is very cold with snow this time of year.

The summer's are getting ridiculously hot. 110 degrees is common. I guess it could be worse. Iraq gets hotter than that.

I've been hearing a lot of chirping Birds so I guess spring is coming early this year. That is usually a good sign.

Oh bad my you tube wont open. I will just read it. Thanks though. I found science an interesting subject.

Uh, there have been six Moon landings during which American astronauts walked on the surface of the Moon.

It's not dead, just not the top of the discussion at the moment. I know the science and have worked with the people providing the data. I have traveled the world (for other reasons) and brought back observations used in data collection such as bleaching of coral reefs, retreatment of glaciers, elimination of snowcaps, etc.

Global warming is real. The political spin put on it from turkeys like Al Gore have done as much to confuse the real issues as has the false data infused into our media from the oil companies. We are nearing several "tipping points" which will permanently alter parts of the world's climate. Crops are now failing, droughts are at all time highs, and population migration is beginning. Many who think they understand the problem can't separate local data from global data. Most of the world's population is brainwashed in one way or another.

Much of the world's fresh water supply is disappearing.

It isn't pretty.


Mate the American government invented Global Warming as a scheme for their political endeavorers. The things you've seen around the world are normal changes in a dieing earth. For you see this planet is on it's way to death, because of every thing that us humans have done to it. We are the cause to the inevitable death and destruction of this planet. But its too late now, even if all humans every where were to die right now this earth will still die aswell. Because the damage has been done.

Well no that is not true. There is needed a lot more then that to sustain life. One of those things is God the almighty, without him there is no life. look at Genesis 2:7.

Not even us Melmacians?
