Apologies it was an outburst at the apparent faith which so many godless people exhibit towards unsubstantiated, unexperienced things. Btw - can someone explain to me how the big bang works, the probability of it happening and how amino acids became polymers and became cells, which somehow became DNA that is irreducibly complex. Yeah no. | ||

A religious person having problems with people believing in unsubstantiated, unexperienced things? That's rich... | ||

Nasa shuttle travels almost 17500mph so 1 light year would take about 38263 years, 30 light years ... 1147890 years. So little more than 1 million years. methinks | ||

Any scientists here can theorize a way for us to travel fast enough to where it would be relevant to explore one of these planets. We all know travelling at the speed of light is impossible. | ||

Tell me how you can prove existence of aliens without reproducible observations / interactions. You can't. So until the moment we find aliens, they don't exist. Same argument is used against any kind of afterlife - just because you don't know what happens after you die, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It does and there will be judgement. Actually, I find this comparison inaccurate. Probability of "Aliens" is higher even tho we haven't actually found them yet. Why? Because these so-called "Aliens" are just life forms living on a planet, and we have a perfect example of that already; us. Therefore, "aliens" aren't some randomly made up myths like afterlife. Instead, they are logical and rational deductions based on current facts. Follow this reasoning: 1) Life exists, earth is a proof : Fact 2) Life can potentially exist on planets with similar environment to earth: Fact 3) There are at least 10 sextillion planets in our universe (that is 100 billion x 100 billion): Fact 4) Even if 1 in a million of those 10 sextillion planets have environment similar to earth's, that is 10 billion planets (a conservative estimate, it is actually way more): Scientific/Statistics estimate 5) Even more of those planets have existed before, and countless new ones will be born in the future: Fact Now given those odds and the fact that life already happened here, is it wrong to derive at a logical deduction that chances of at least ONE of those planets have, had or will have "aliens"? And my point is, how can you say this chance is same as chance of "afterlife" which is based on nothing? | ||

Well time dilates as you approach the speed of light so to you it won't seem like 35 years. | ||

All the Electromagnetic Waves travel at the same speed (Light being one of them), so even if we send messages and get a reply back 60 years later, that will still be the biggest breakthrough of mankind. The planet probably doesn't even have water, yet alone intelligent life. | ||

Be super cool if there was/are going to plan missions to these new planets to check them out, would be awesome! I very much doubt this will happen in your lifetime. Current technology isn't anywhere near advanced enough to make a voyage this big last less than ten thousand years, let alone a few decades. There would have to be political willingness to do so as well ... :/ | ||
