So you are telling me not to believe everything I read?

But I read your post, so I should take your advice and not believe when you tell me not to believe what I read?

So I should believe everything I read?

But then if I re-read your post, and I should believe everything I read, then upon reading your post, I should not believe everything I read.

My brain is hurted.

What is out there, is just empty space. And when you look at the subatomic level, you again find only empty space. That leads to the interesting question of what we then can be ourselves.

Do not stare too long into the abyss, else the abyss sooner or later starts to stare back at you. Cosmology and astronomy I have come to find to be cathartic and horrifying at the same time.

This posting speaks well of an atheist view ... darkness indeed

Much easier to wait for them to come to us ... oh wait a flying horse comes to mind.

No I'm not making fun of NASA. It's RT and the article itself I find amusing

As I wrote in my first comment to my thread
"The day NASA does as mention in the article then I maybe will believe it until then I take the RT-news with a huge truck of salt"

Meaning-If and when NASA make this annoncement that there is intelligent life out there-then I maybe will believe it. Right ? No I don't.

The big question here is: What is intelligent life ?

You can rule out the human race.

Now I Iflscience have an article about this.

The last sentence in the end of the article said it all and the headlines on their FB-wall was clearly to "Put your skeptical hat on"

From the article

So if we do discover aliens, you'll likely hear it from them rather than a man in his basement wearing a Guy Fawkes mask.
