Not regarding the article but “Do people believe this shit?” - Is it so hard to fathom that we’re most likely not the only planet with living beings? Not so much big ugly aliens, but something.

I guess the better question is do people believe that even in the infinite vastness of space that we are the only living creatures?

Meh. While I believe there are other intelligent lifeforms somewhere in the universe, I do not believe they are, or would have the capability to visit distant planets.

I don’t think that’s the question being asked here…

have other life forms created advanced enough technology to travel billions of light years away and still jam our cameras when they show up allowing the governments of thousands of countries across the globe to come together in a world wide conspiracy to prevent public knowledge of unexplained visits?

I’d have to say no.

Why, because in the 200k years that Homo sapiens have been on this planet we haven’t figured out how? 200k years is an eye blink in the history of the universe.

Nope. Because in MY belief I don’t feel it is plausible/possible to travel the massive distances necessary.

Yes I know, traveling close to the speed of light, bending space-time yada, yada…I just don’t believe it for many reasons.

Half the stars in our night sky could be dead for all we know. Tough to tell when the light from them takes hundreds of year to reach us.

you tell me lol. I believe there is a God and it made everything. Where another lifeform falls is something I have never bothered to grasp. I would say they would also be in the form of God, being that “the image of God” is something we will never be able to understand
