To clarify: I was not suggesting that I believe you to be or not to be a member of the academic establishment. Your assertion that "Science is all about positing things that are based upon the evidence we have... " in my opinion is a rigid and narrow attitude. An attitude that again in my opinion is on par with that of academic establishment. We are all entitled to our own opinions. We are not entitled to our own facts. The fact is that "science is all about positing things that are based upon the evidence we have" is not an attitude at all. It is a statement about science, and it's true. Unless an omniscient entity is involved in our science the fact is that scientific study is a fallible endeavor based on a consensus chosen set of parameters. If the parameters don't have the flexibility to adapt but become dogmatic they constrain the pursuit of knowledge. The pursuit of knowledge is in fact the inherent intent of scientific study. While establishing parameters for focused study is of course logical, it by intent is limiting. Limitation suggests boundaries, however the perceived existence of boundary is not evidence that nothing exists beyond it. That would all depend upon the kind of boundary we're talking about. Other than that, I don't see an argument here. I see, once again, the peddling of mere opinion. Got an argument? Based on the evidence I hypothesize that I am primarily interested in sharing my opinions, and not in participating in debate. |

No argument here. Not sure how that applies to my original post which you framed in a negative manner of speaking.  "Narrow-minded"... |

.. do fish drink water..??. i like Raj's question on Big Bang Theory better... Where does Aquaman poop? Ya know it's interesting that Raj thinks "Aquaman Suuucks!" yet frequently talks about him.  BBT is about the only tv show that I watch regularly. I think it's hilarious.

i think your over thinking this... Ya think so, huh? they are looking for any planet, and once they find one, then they figure out whether it could sustain life as we know it... if the planet is out of the "temperate zone",(how close or far from it's sun) they lose interest in thinking there could be life on it, but other astronomers will still study it... if it's in the temperate zone, the scientists looking for life will study it more, no matter if it has water or not... they key in on earth like planets first, but they study all the planets they find... but they are not going to find life on any other planet through a telescope, they basically make notes on everything they find... This is funny. After you charge me with "overthinking", you then proceed to delve even deeper into thought than I, all-the-while never once addressing what I did say... Ho hum... Bah. ?? ehh, whatever...   Still no better than you were years ago, I see... whats the problem? do you want to insult people or try to talk about science? i know it's a little over your head, but try to read what people are saying without taking it personal or the insults... |

Yeah. Gotcha. Loud and clear. I'll gladly step aside, and let you folk talk about science. Perhaps one day I'll be able to understand it a bit better. When I grow up maybe...  Toodles. |
