But based on no evidence. Are you agreeing with how it's controlling people? Or are you saying it's been known for years and the public is not ready yet so they are slowly trickling information?

What?

"No evidence of life existing elsewhere" is an arbitrary qualifier. There is proof of life existing, and therefore evidence that life can exist elsewhere. Saying that there's no evidence for life existing elsewhere is implying that Earth is the only place in the entire universe where conditions favorable for life exist, which is factually incorrect. We've observed Earth's various conditions in exoplanets (and some of our own), and so we know that at least some other planets out there will have them all combined by sheer probability.

'Scientism the new religion'

They don't. The most anyone is willing to say is that a planet possesses some of observable factors necessary for maintaining an ecosystem. They notably do not say that a planet possesses all of the necessary and sufficient conditions for maintaining a functional ecosystem.

Part of the reason for that is because we don't know all of the necessary and sufficient conditions for maintaining an ecosystem.

OK but what TC is asking for is actually evidence and proof of life existing on these planets. No matter how you choose to word it, it's just conjecture.

Saying life must exist elsewhere because we exist here is still conjecture.

I assume that he is looking for actual data. Correct me if I'm misunderstanding your point TC.

It's kind of irrelevant to need that level of proof just to make the claim that life exists elsewhere. We're not making claims about what that life is like, just that we have proof life is a thing that can happen on a planet.

To get a 1% probability you'd need solid evidence that there is no life outside if this planet, and that does not exist. Probability is based on the information we have, and while limited, our information leans towards there being life outside of our planet.

You're absolutely correct. Being devil's advocate I like to see fairness in debate. There is no evidence of this, it's a belief, dreamed up ideas and imagination. Science likes to make a HUGE point that it only bases things from FACT. Sorry to say there is NONE.

It's also a pretty complex conjecture built on some sweeping assumptions about the scale of universe and the probability of Earth's conditions or other life sustaining ecosystems appearing somewhere else in the universe.

The belief, and you're right it's a belief, but no one argue otherwise, that life exists elsewhere is based on fact. But no scientist will tell you it's a fact that life can originate somewhere else.

As opposed to assuming there is no life, which would actually be an even bigger assumption? Lol again, you keep ignoring the FACT that science has it as undetermined, so we are forced to guess based on the knowledge we have. And we test our hypotheses as soon as we can.

No you have insufficient information to draw either conclusion. The intellectually responsible thing to do is say 'maybe, but further speculation should be built on the back of new data and not our love of science fiction. Until such new data appears, we would do better to concern ourselves with things we know, or have strong evidence to suspect, are real.'

The probability of us being the only life in the universe is so ridiculously small that I would bet everything I own that we're not alone.

The fact that there's no evidence means nothing. It's human arrogance to assume that we would be able to know if there was other life or that the absence of evidence means anything.
