Aaaaaand bingo, if the crazy switch hadn't gone off in anybodies head yet, this should do it.

There's no proof of any extraterrestrial life, at this point in time.  Such evidence, would really fuck with the religious who think the Earth is the center of the Universe.


This isn't a thread about positivism and epistemology. I don't care what the scientific establishment thinks. You can't prove a negative anyway which is why atheism is illogical. 

This is a thread which requires a bit of imagination, and an open mind. Public knowledge of ET would indeed cause a ruckus. 

Which you don't have, so why are you even writing in it?

Science does not require you to care.  The fact that you're even capable of writing on this here board lends science more credibility than anything you've ever done (or likely will do).

We don't live in a society that functions under that principle.  Burden of proof rests upon you, to provide evidence to suggest extraterrestrial civilizations exist, AND that they have somehow purged X from their societies.  Otherwise, there's that whole celestial teapot argument.

When you have achieved social harmony as a collective you don't need homosexuality to polarize and thus cause discord among the collective whole.


You seem to have two choices in front of you: Eliminating those you dont accept or accepting. 

Seems to me that you have chosen incorrectly, unless you wish to steer the human race towards dystopia.

I have a very open mind. I think you (assuming you are gay) are very brave. I have purposefully chosen to avoid the homosexual medium. I don't hate you or anyone else. I just don't think it's something worth cheering over. It's a condition limiting in the same vein as a physical handicap for example. Your quality of life is greatly reduced. 

Referring to science and caring: Yes it does, science is a paradigm which yields knowledge. It is however just a method for discovery and not an absolute authority over existential matters. What it hasn't discovered yet is not proof of nonexistence and should not be used as a basis for refutation. It's lazy and narrow-minded.

Onus probandi? Teapot analogy? Someone has studied Bertrand Russell. You realize his entire family went insane, many committing suicide? Even the philosopher himself admitted that Thomas proof of God was sound. 

I don't need any of that because you seem to conflate my thread dedicated to meta-physics with positivist scientism which was engendered for the express purpose of removing meta-physics from science.

What.... did I just read? Sorry to be blunt, but everything I read in the OP was ridiculously insane. -_-

Because you are persecuted. It's not that bad anymore in the West but you are still the subject of ridicule in schools for example.

He could be a great fantasy author though. With all the imagination he has.
