At least religious people have an excuse because their belief comes from a place of suffering, no one who thinks these sci-fi fantasy concepts are real is suffering, these beliefs come from a place of extreme comfort, nobody who believes in aliens is from the global south, how many times do liars need to stand in front of governments and say “aliens are real” for there to be some kind of explicit denouncement from atheists for these absolutely non-atheistic beliefs that get a pass because they are sci-fi. PURGE THE NERDS!

    Joe Biden has found no evidence of election fraud in our solar system, there are conditions in America that are less harsh than places where Biden exists on Twitter that definitely could support the khive if they got there. We have found no signals or Biden spheres or anything to suggest that there is life within the visible the White House. All the theories like the Biden paradox, great cornpop, dark brandon hypothesis. Where is the evidence to suggest any of them are correct? From the liberal perspective biden is the only life out there, and third party is barbaric.

      We have found no signals or dyson spheres or anything to suggest that there is life within the visible universe.

      No electronic transmissions and no [thing sci-fi authors made up] is not a good argument against space amoebas existing somewhere

      How good do you think our detectors are? Lol.

          It may be noticeable, it wouldn't be noticeable to a civilization of our current level of development. Even stuff as basic as "is a planet at a nearby system terrestrial or rocky" is challenging, the idea we're able to reliably say that systems even in our local group don't possess a certain structure, or dismiss coherent signals for the entire visible universe is laughable.

      We understand how life came to be on Earth, and that the mechanics of such are mundane enough to reasonably occur elsewhere in the universe, and that's only with the form of life we're familiar with and ruling out any other possible forms of life that might use entirely different chemical processes than we do.

      In a functionally infinite universe, the odds that those same circumstances repeat somewhere is guaranteed. Whether that life is intelligent or not is anyone's guess, but it exists.

        hell, the cosmos might very well be infinite in size. if that is the case (big if), then somewhere very far away the initial conditions and chaotic dynamics of gravity repeated and a planet practically identical to earth has formed and beings indistinguishable from humans evolved. because it's infinite, this'd be repeated infinite times, but they'd be all unfathomably far apart from each other, on average.

        They'd all be well beyond the range of the observable universe, impossible to reach due to expansion of space, and not "real" in any practical sense.

        In this way, there very well may be "parallel" universes. There's also the quantum "many worlds" version of parallel universes but I think that one's been touched on enough by pop culture, I don't feel like explaining it.
