Doc expressed no "disdain for creationists and Christianity" whatsoever, and at least one of your personalities probably knows that.
    Well there you have it, good people on the earth. My posts are " tiresome" and I am being "beligerent" if I dont lap up what is being said. I rarely argue with anyone so by my established behavioral baseline i can see where one would say " unlike you" . per your use of the word "belligerent" ? Thats a negative connotation that means nothing to me. Anyone swayed by such an obvious use of it is not someone worth dealing with anyway. Lastly " one of my personalities" ? Another attempt with what you thought was a negative. Ill take it as a compliment. With all due respect all of my personalities agree youve been quite rude lately so I guess that makes us even. Just let it go. A simple " tis what it is" should be fine with you since your excuse for your behavior lately is now solved.." Tiresome" posts. Thats adorable. Have a nice day. Oh..Biggs concurs..

    Okay, I see the problem. Dr. Who never stated, or even speculated that there was "no life elsewhere"; just the opposite in fact. Go back and read Post #12 again. She was responding to Lummy's negative take on E.T., 'Ancient Aliens', somebody named Noury, etc. by questioning why anyone would believe that there was no other life in all that "real estate".

    There is no " problem " on this end because I simply do not care either way anymore. I had planned to actually state my own beliefs on the matter today but i do not enjoy arguing. Its a behavior that doesnt gel well with me. Id rather disassociate and lean into my music. I think we should be good now. Im off this thread. Ciao

Wouldn't an intelligent designer ensure that an intelligent species continued to have something to learn beyond interactions with its own kind?

    I missed this yesterday and had to go back now and read the post that caused such a ruckus. From a mathematical standpoint, you're correct, odds dictate that life (of some sort and in some stage of evolution) likely exists elsewhere in the universe.

    However, if the world around us is vibrational, and science tells us that it is, what we're seeing and experiencing is nothing more than our interpretation of the vibration. In that sense, life could populate many, many planets, and the universe will continue to expand (as it's currently doing) and yet it is all an interpretation of vibration. A damn good interpretation (or figment of the imagination), mind you -- but an interpretation nonetheless.

    No idea what your talking about. Vibration? Are you hinting that Who needs new batteries? I'm at sea here.
