Aliens

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Well this same God says He Personally created this entire physical universe from His place on high (spiritual world)

(and continuously holds it together)

... so yeah, it would follow there is no one above Him in this universe.
Why? Just because he said so?
Yes.

Hey man, you asked the question... and out of the blue I might add. :D

Sure, most things about the spirit world are unknowable.

The most important thing IS knowable however.

But you're going to have to trust me on that one. :wink:

Nice imagination by the way...

No one in this thread said that.

Are you hearing those voices again? :D

I love Science because it says there is no extraterrestrial life.

Science says you're basically a religious fanatic for believing so strongly in such drivel...

Dude, isn't this an argument for intelligent design? Who chose the exact right rate of expansion needed to create planets, and thus life?

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

It proclaims the odds of extraterrestrial life. Until there is proof, it can not do anything more.

The odds are above 0.

Did you bother to listen to the Fridman podcast on this?

Do you believe our knowledge today is absolute and there is nothing more to be learned?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The odds are exactly 0. (there is no answer for abiogenesis)

Of course not.

There is extremely compelling evidence suggesting Doc will be proven wrong soon enough.

Mars almost certainly had life. Not 100% irrefutable proof just quite yet but there have been chains of evidence that are consistent with organic matter reacting with liquid water, but...there is still a micro-percentage of the possibility that it was due to vulcanism.

Meh....that's good enough for this cowboy
If you need air...call it in
