Like what, PROOF?

Exactly!

Everyone knows if you drive safely the accident rate will go down.
No one believes if everyone drove as safely as possible, there would
be no accidents.

"Everyone knows" is not proof. "Everyone knows" that green m&ms make
you horny. "Everyone knows" that bad things happen in threes. Common
knowledge is not a reliable indicator of fact.

The proof is there in the incredibly long statistics, that the 3
certain things I mentioned could not be true.

Sorry. Statistics attempting to demonstrate something "could not be
true" are no proof that it is true.

If you had a good knowledge of how life can develop, and how
resourceful intelligent life is, and just how many planets there are
in the Universe for this to occur, Monkey Boy would know I was simply
stating the obvious.

Again incorrect. The "obvious" conclusion is that there is no other
life, since you can demonstrate NO evidence that it exists, other than
your conjecture that there is a lot of space so other life "must"
exist. Conjecture is not fact.

It is obvious to me.
What would be obvious to you Paul?

It's obvious that I can't speak for Paul, but I would say that you need
to either have an irrefutable argument or have the thing in question
right before your eyes before you can say it's obvious.

..The "obvious" conclusion is that there is no other life, ...

If this is what you believe I'd love to hear your proof!

That's the funniest thing I've seen today.

Give us your "proof by statistics" that there's life elsewhere.


Outlook Express has an option that says something like "include original
article in followup." Another option says something like "String for
identifying quoted material." Please find them. OE also has the ability
to move your cursor to the logical place to add your followup. Check it
