It's two huge logical jumps to assume that 1) aliens would be more advanced than us, and 2) that traveling long distances of space, such as with light speed or another means, is even possible. Among others.
I don't think so.
Provide reason or your idea is trash.

Aliens don't need to be hyper advanced to exist. It's entirely possible that there is simply too much distance and not enough means to cover it for them to meet us.
Clearly, you don't understand how long 13 billion years is.
No.
I don't think you understand how distant celestial bodies are.
13,000,000,000 years.
That's 156,000,000,000 months.
The existence of aliens isn't looking so good, if you ask me.
There's no reason to assert that if they existed they would choose to visit us even, they could very easily just choose to ignore us. What you are positing has zero basis and zero significance. Even if they could travel at light speed, it would take a tremendous amount of time to reach us.

No, they will not share identical results. They're still two completely different fucking planets, genius.
They have similar compositions. X% iron, X% water, within a certain temperature range, etc. Life is demonstrably able to survive harsh conditions (near vacuum, extreme heat), so we can assert that the range of similarity is not as small as it'd need to be for Earth to be the single harbor of life.

My problem with that thinking is that we have 1 confirmed planet with life out of 8/9. That's hardly a sufficient sample size.
It's like asking 9 friends who they're voting for, and 8 of them say Jeb Bush, and then taking that information and assuming that Jeb will have a landslide victory against Hillary Clinton. A good sample size tells us that it's clearly not the case. The universe has been around for over 13 billion years.
If there's aliens, I'd think they'd have found us first.

The composition of the planet doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is whether or not it has life on it. Just because something looks like Earth doesn't mean it is guaranteed to harbor life.
Hurr durr you're being retarded for the sake of argument.
And make your point all in one fucking post, for god's sake.
http://i.imgur.com/HxLOXMy.png stop being a hypocrite Yes it does matter. Planet A and Planet B are identical and undergo identical influences, they will share identical results, that is basic and fundamental logic. No, you cannot say that we do not observe no life, because we do not have adequate view of it yet, what we are doing here is predicting that it will likely have life, as it will logically follow since there is bound to be planets out there with similar enough conditions to Earth to produce similar results. Not perfect, but similar. Stop thinking that you are allowed to assert that we observe no life, we haven't observed anything yet. What you assert is equivalent to saying that because we haven't opened our eyes yet, the room we are in does not exist. What the opposite asserts is that because we know what typically makes up a room, we can make some guesses as to what we will see when we open our eyes.

State the difference between the composition of Earth and the composition of all other planets that let Earth give rise to life while others do not.
You cannot state that life does not exit on other planets, we don't have adequate observations of them yet to form that conclusion. This is a prediction of fact.

The fact that there is no life on the planets we've been able to observe thus far, especially Mars, is a pretty big fucking difference.
It doesn't matter if the planet looks like it could preserve life--IS IT preserving life?
If not, then there's your difference.
One planet has life. One planet does not.
Many of them very well could be they are simply out of reasonable observable distance. They could harbor life from microbes all the way up to the equivalent of the 1800's and we couldn't tell the difference. Just because you cannot physically observe it does not mean that you cannot rationally predict the truth, you're actually being retarded for the sake of your argument right now.

It's a prediction of what is fact, because we do not yet have adequate means to find the answer. When you only have one result, believing you will get a similar result is literally what logical thinking is. You are the one being illogical when you fail to establish a difference between the conditions on Earth and how they are different from those on ALL of the other planets in existence. Without an established difference you are implying that different results spring from the same conditions, which is retarded.

Are you intentionally being retarded like when you said that Hayden Christianson didn't act horribly? How does a 1/9 celestial bodies in our solar system look like good prospects for your position?

tbh you're just sticking your fingers in your ears whenever someone acknowledges that abiogenesis is, in fact, a thing that happens It happened.
Whether or not it happens is a different story. It happened once =/= It MUST happen multiple times.
No logic. You're assuming.

not being so retarded as to think that life just magically appeared from non-physical influences oh, is that what i believe
huh, interesting
If you don't want someone to form incorrect ideas about your beliefs you should probably express them. As far as you've replied to me the only extent to which I know about your beliefs is that you think the event of life on Earth had unique circumstances from other Earth like planets...what those circumstances are were never explained, and there are very few explanations of how life originate, so you certainly made me come to the conclusion that you're either making no claim or you're making supernatural claims, both of which are retarded.

There is no rational reason to believe aliens exist at this point in time.
Knowing that there are many planets similar to Earth in existence and not being so retarded as to think that life just magically appeared from non-physical influences is pretty rational. tbh you're just sticking your fingers in your ears whenever someone acknowledges that abiogenesis is, in fact, a thing that happens

1.you have one,
2.you know what materials are needed to make it,
3.you know that other places have those resources to make their own country omelets. The same cannot be said of life.
uh We have a good enough idea of the Earth's composition and history to infer how it happened. And none of the resources used in it are so rare that Earth is the sole holder of those qualities. And we know that there are an EXPANSIVE number of other planets just within our view that will share those qualities that Earth had, let alone the ones that are outside our perspective. How do you believe life on Earth came about that makes it so unique? And how is your explanation more valid than the current dominant theory?

One of those things is omnipresent Not necessarily. Who the fuck says a god has to be omnipresent? That's stupid.
It's like you have a country omelet sitting in your fridge, but you choose to believe there are absolutely no other fridges that have country omelets in them, because you haven't looked in those fridges. Piss poor analogy. We can glean, based on the fact that omelets are commonly produced foods, that there are all sorts of omelettes in people's fridges.
We can't assume that there are aliens just because "MUH UNIVERSE IS SO BIG!!!!!"
Not many fridges have country omelets in them actually compared to those that don't, but the point is that : 1.you have one, 2.you know what materials are needed to make it, 3.you know that other places have those resources to make their own country omelets. Thus you have to recognize that they could possibly make omelets and put them in their fridges too. You don't have to know if they did or did not, the point is that you cannot say with certainty that they did not.

Nonexistent, as far as I'd logically be able to guess.
how do you figure?
I haven't seen an alien, and there's no real evidence that they exist, so it would be silly to assume that they do just because "muh expanding univese". In the same way that it would be silly to assume that there's a god or something.
One of those things is omnipresent with no examples, the other can have as little broadcastablity as we do and has one example of how it can come about. It's like you have a country omelet sitting in your fridge, but you choose to believe there are absolutely no other fridges that have country omelets in them, because you haven't looked in those fridges. It's distinctly different from thinking that absolutely no fridges have Old Spice Bodywash Soup in them. Because you aren't even sure if there is such a thing as Old Spice Bodywash Soup.

Anybody doubting that the police is militarizing to be a quick response against any type of armed revolution is deluded.
Soldiers may not shoot their fellow Americans, but we all know how quick the police are to kill an unarmed civilian.
wouldnt it be baller if military and police got in a fight and we could see the police get shitstomped

0 - 18 living with your parents = normal
18+ living with your parents = autistic
18 year olds are still in High Scool.

.38 special only costs a few cents. Plus I'd rather my pet's death be a personal matter between me and them, not some foreign and sterile operating room.
So, the pet has a chance to live. And you have the 5000 to make it happen. But you don't pick it. Why not?
Because the road to recovery won't be enjoyable for them, will have marginal benefits, and won't be enjoyable for me either.
Remember. The animal is in no pain on the medical route. They're medicated. It's just a matter of time for them to recover. Do you change your stance on the matter?
Not really. Death isn't bad.
