That's what I've been saying all along, but yall want to fight me tooth and nail about it. Is that reasoning not tangible enough for you?
I think you are getting a bit confused here. The odds of there being life besides us in the Universe and the odds of us finding it are not the same thing. Even if we never find it before humankind goes extinct that does not prove it doesn't exist. Like I said before lack of proof is not proof of it's opposite. I don't not believe in God because there is no proof, I don't believe in God because it makes no sense. It's possible that a christian God exists just not probable.

YOU on the other hand need a signed note from God himself, Jesus' femur bone fossilized on the side of mountain, and an Angel to deliver it all in order to "believe".
You can believe in anything, that doesn't make it true. Believing in something that can never be proven and, to me at least, doesn't make sense is foolish. If you have some type of divine faith then good for you but don't try to chastize the rest of us for thinking through things before we submit to them.

So it's not merely a "handful of people looking part time" as you say. There are many thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of people from scientists that dedicate their lives to finding life outside our solar system to the amateur with a fancy high power telescope to ancient people that have been gazing up at the stars for eons now. They've seen comets, asteroids, pulsars, black holes, and even rings on planets, but yet no forms of life.
Ancient astronomers had no chance of finding extraterrestrials. Only people with advanced equipment have even the minute possibilty. So really it has only been a handful of people.

I don't believe in miracles and I suppose it depends on your definition of chance.

There is NO proof Jesus ever existed in YOUR mind but of something that has never been seen in the entire history of the world....THAT you have an "open" mind about and BELIEVE exists?????

Got it. That makes complete sense.
No one is arguing that the Bible doesn't exist. I can hold a telescope in my hand is that tangible enough for you? I can even prove the telescope works.
