Faith Based Scientists Paranoid About Possible Mars Life
I had a brief look at that link.
I wouldn't word it in quite the way that the previous person did but I do have to ask why religious people seem to think that atheists are looking for a reason to believe as if we are "missing" something. I do not seek a reason to believe in a god and am perfectly at ease being an atheist. I hope I live long enough to see the religious reaction to the almost inevitable discovery of life outside out planet. Their "holy books" will need a certain amount of revision. Jack |

Been a long time since I've read the Bible, but I do recall an assertion that there are "other houses", taken to mean other worlds with not just life, but sentient life. People, and their religions, will adjust as needed. They always have. --Damon |

That seems unlikely, at least as regards Jews and Christians. There's nothing intrinsic in either testament that says there can't be life on other planets, as long as you're generous in your metaphorical interpretation. The Church certainly doesn't believe that the Genesis story has to be revised, just because we've found that it's off by several billion years. |

You're right, we don't have a clue. What organized religion offers is neither spiritual, nor scientifically or mathematically verifiable. Organized religion is bereft of spirituality and truth. -- The Tsiolkovsky Group : http://www.lifeform.org My Planetary BLOB : http://cosmic.lifeform.org Get A Free Orbiter Space Flight Simulator : http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/orbit.html |

The verse "In my Father's house, there are many mansions" tends to be taken simply as implying that in Heaven, apartment dwelling will not be the norm. The Bible, taken literally, implies that the starry sky at night is but a decorative supplement to Earth's night sky. John Savard |
