I started use SETI@home. If we search long enough, we may find a signal one day.

We are them!!! Just look at the mess we’re making of this planet. We did the same to Mars and now we’re going to do the same here. We just are more advance than some other life forms. Some day we’ll find the others who are of lesser intellegence, or maybe we have (politicians).

M: “You know that “science cannot explain it all” is common excuse of every crackpot out there, right?”
N: Good thing I never said that then isn’t it?
Actually, you said it. Just in pretentious, obfuscated form, filled with philosopical buzzwords. Here: “you have to assume that the metaphysical posits of empiricism are the only means of ultimate knowledge”.

N: Science is what works.
Oh, “Science: it works, bitches!” is pretty good criteria for assessing what is real. So, using your words, it means that I assert absolute hegemony of reality over any wishful fantasies out of there. And it happens that scientific method cannot probe God…

N: QM flat out contradicts relativity. Which one is true? I accept them both. I think they are both true and that they both contradict each other but that’s ok.
Bzzt. Error. Both theories are false. They are just less false than predecesors (like Newtonian mechanics). There will be new theory that will not be contradictory, at least not in this place. But this theory still WILL have shortcomings, so it will be replaced again with even better (read: less false) theory. Repeat ad infinitum.

N: I accept both/and.
Sorry, but I do not accept doublethinking. I know this is required talent for any believer that want to normally function in modern time and society – this does not make it less sad.

I grew up terrified and fully expecting we’d be dead now. That there would be a nuclear Holocaust caused by the Cold Wart going Hot & Total.

What, in Oz?

I went to school in Cheltenham, which is home to the UK’s GCHQ (Government Communication Headquarters), and would have been a rpimary target had nuclear war actually started. When there’s not much you can do about a threat, you tend to ignore it most of the time.

MTU (88) said:

IMHON, Science isn’t about *proof* – it is about getting an ever more accurate understanding of the cosmos that gets ever closer to a complete understanding of reality.

In general, this is right, but never forget that once an hypothesis has been disproved by evidence, it has been disproved for all time.

Simply because we don’t detect radio signals doesn’t mean ET’s don’t exist, they could be using other ways to communicate. Consider this:

[UFO sighting references omitted]

There is more!!

So what?

Sure, people see (and detect on radar) thangs that they can’t identify. That in no way counts as evidence that these sightings are alien visitors.
