Atheists are so eager to impress the rest of the universe that there is no God. Well, I actually don't have a problem with that. What I do find annoying is that when they start asking for scientific proof that God exists. We all know that hard scientific facts do not support the existence of God or another supreme being. They like to beat the rest of us over the head with it. They often remark that science does not require faith, but facts. REALLY? Read on...
The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, or SETI for short, searches the skies for a signal for possible extraterrestrial life. I actually think it is a good idea. There might be someone out there. So far, after spending tens of thousands of donated money of several decades, there have failed to find one civilization. It may take longer but as long as people are shelling out the dough, it's science right?
SETI operates on the assumption that just because life exists here, around a yellow star, that the universe must be teeming with live. Makes sense. Here's the think. There is absolutely NO PROOF and NO EVIDENCE that life exists elsewhere. It may, but there is no proof.
Science is making a leap of faith. SETI scientists are doing the same thing that atheists say we cannot do. Believe in something without proof is foolish, childish and, as some have said psychotic. Tell me isn't SETI doing the same thing as the believers in a supreme being?
To be honest, I do believe that there is life elsewhere in the universe. I participate in the SETI@Home project. The point of the matter is that if atheists can beat Christians over the head with their beliefs, they should be on SETI, as well. Yeah, give us a break!
