Fermi Paradox, why didn't God make aliens too?

If there's one thing I've learned in my 67 years on this earth, it is that some people are unteachable...and gullible...they'll believe anything they hear/read...

Quran 2:13 "And when it is said to them, "Believe as the people have believed," they say, "Should we believe as the foolish have believed?" Unquestionably, it is they who are the foolish, but they know [it] not."

Here's the thing. Europe doesnt want the virus so they ban us. ANY smart culture would not want to risk strange infection, nor would want our DRAMA. Our interjection in more advanced people, would be like putting Trump into a democracy.

I didn't read the previous posts, but the Europe's got the coronavirus.

So you wont risk, my schooling you. Good choice.
 
Hey now everyone!


Jesus wants us to be nice to each other.


Let's take the vitriol down a notch or two.

if the fleshy venison of the all powerful all knowing gods wants it why are you the one who has to say it?
 
The lack of aliens is more proof that God exists than any evidence atheists have given of his nonexistence.

Explain, please. Asking for evidence is not providing evidence. Do you have any evidence for the non-existence of leprechauns?

Lol. What? You're comparing apples with jetplanes now? :lamo
 
It's not often that I agree with Swing_voter, but he has a point.

Using terms of art a bit loosely, in an infinite system there is no singularity. You get only an infinite number or zero. While we may or may not live in an infinite system, it serves as an approximation in most cases. We know we exist, so there should be an infinite number of beings enough like us to be treated as a class. That is not what we observe, which is suggestive of an intervening agency. By Occam's razor, there is a creator.

The logic is sound. The assumptions require close examination, but they are at least workable. It is most easily attacked by two routes. First, the universe may not be infinite, merely large enough to seem so. Bounded systems allow singularity. The other is that our observational powers are inadequate to the task. Either way, the suggestion of outside intervention is plausible.

To me, Fermi's paradox is sufficient proof that we are indeed alone on the mortal realm. On a time scale of billions of years, beings like us would populate everything remotely habitable. Even if they had come and gone, we would find detritus.

No, it isn't.

So here is Fermi's Paradox

  1. There are billions of stars in the Milky Way similar to the Sun.[3][4]
  2. With high probability, some of these stars have Earth-like planets.[5]
  3. Many of these stars, and hence their planets, are much older than the sun.[6][7] If the Earth is typical, some may have developed intelligent life long ago.
  4. Some of these civilizations may have developed interstellar travel, a step humans are investigating now.
  5. Even at the slow pace of currently envisioned interstellar travel, the Milky Way galaxy could be completely traversed in a few million years.[8]
  6. And since many of the stars similar to the Sun are billions of years older, the Earth should have already been visited by extraterrestrial civilizations, or at least their probes.[9]
  7. However, there is no convincing evidence that this has happened.[8]

Why didn't God make aliens? Is it because he's busy dealing with humans?

God probably did but we've simply not been able to travel far enough to find them (technologically advanced civilization of extraterrestrials). The distances are vast and we are still slow.
