Just an observation not a critisism I believe that you generally add a positive foward looking improvement to scientific debate.  |
Hi Warren;
The only thing I'm firm about when it comes to this topic, is the unpredictability of finding another instance of emerged life. This particular research paper comes to that same conclusion.
"How it comes across": The only feeling (or 'belief') I have ever expressed in this matter has been that I really don't care whether exo-life exists, or not. How it comes across, is as much a function of how you might be reading what I'm actually saying … but 'thank you', for allowing me the opportunity of restating my position (which remains unchanged on this matter).
Both of the majority perspectives on the topic, are purely products of optimism or pessimism, neither of which carry any weight in science.
My beliefs are also completely irrelevant, and I encourage you to dismiss them, whenever you like, and wherever you see them.
Cheers
