Point to one single piece of evidence that refutes intelligence
in
our galaxy.
Your failure to provide the evidence I asked for noted. And here
you
also used the flawed argument "since you cannot disproved me,
must
be right".
"Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence."
I presented probabilities that are almost certainty that
civilizations
exist in the universe billions of years older than ours, and you
(dishonestly) prattle about "evidence."
Exactly what do you mean with "the universe billions of years old er
than our universe"?
I object to your conclusion "almost certainly" when there are no
known positive cases. Yes, you exclude the Earth since it does not
reside in any universe billions of years older than our universe....
Intelligent life exists on at least one place in our galaxy: here
on
Earth. It may exist elsewhere too but we know nothing about that.
We DO have brains that can THINK. We deal with probabilities daily
much
less certain than the probability of advanced civilizations.
You should read Aristotle's writings about nature as an example of
how erroneous conclusions a brain that THINKS can produce in the
absence of evidence. Such thinking is mostly wishful thinking.
Your false claim was that all Christian deities live in
harmony,
without making any exceptopn for Satan.
Isn't Satan supposed to be a fallen angel? Are angels not
deities?
If Satan isn't a deity it must be a mortal biological creature.
If
so, Satan must be dead by now since it lived thousands of years
ago.
False dichotomy. Are angels "deities"? Were they created? Who
created
them? What about "spirits"?
All these are supernatural deities with supposedly supernatural
powers...
