In response to "this surprises me. -- nm" by loosilu

There's been zero evidence.

Posted by nubby Jul 9 '12, 08:36

As much as people argue that there's no God because there's no evidence, the same can be said for aliens.

Responses:

There's plenty of evidence of unexplainable flying objects. It might not be air-tight evidence, but it's evidence nonetheless. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 9, 08:48 4
- Maybe it's just me, but I consider covert military operations to be the more logical explanation than aliens in that case. - ty97 Jul 9, 08:50 1
  - and why do they have to kidnap thousands of cows and guys named Bubba? -- nm - zork Jul 9, 08:52
- Random but related pet peeve: When people use UFO as a synonym for "alien aircraft." - Andie Jul 9, 08:50
- Fine. Amend to "scientifically-acceptable evidence". - nubby Jul 9, 08:49
How do you explain Michael Jackson then?? -- nm - Don Homer Jul 9, 08:43
The difference between God and aliens is that God believers insist that God is intimately concerned with humankind; therefore we would expect to see - mara Jul 9, 08:39 15
- I think the main difference is that the existence of aliens is falsifiable, whereas the existence of God is not. - nubby Jul 9, 08:41 14
  - how is it falsifiable? You can't search the whole universe. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 08:42 12
    - ....yet. -- nm - znufrii Jul 9, 08:52
    - We can't now, but theoretically it's possible to do so. -- nm - ty97 Jul 9, 08:43
    - plus lots of people have brought forth what they call evidence of God/miracles/etc. -- nm - zork Jul 9, 08:43 2
      - We can't hold nubby to other people's interpretations of faith, only his own. - ty97 Jul 9, 08:45 1
        
        but it'd be fun. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 08:46
    - If aliens exist, there is evidence to be found. - nubby Jul 9, 08:43 6
      - So your falsifiable statement should be "Aliens do not exist." -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 08:47
      - how does one prove the proof that God exists? -- nm - zork Jul 9, 08:44 3
        
        I *just* said that it can't be done. -- nm - nubby Jul 9, 08:47

        :) -- nm - oblique Jul 9, 08:49
      - maybe someday, but it's not like we know what's currently going on in the far reaches of the universe. -- nm - Andie Jul 9, 08:44
  - you have no faith in aliens -- nm - CQ Jul 9, 08:42
sure, no evidence, but you don't think it's probable? -- nm - zork Jul 9, 08:39 1
- It's like string theory. It's just conjecture until there's evidence. -- nm - nubby Jul 9, 08:41
agreed on no evidence, but I still think it's possible (if not probable). -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 08:37
