I like the guy at 1:53 who counters the argument against alien life with his assertion that he feels like alien life could exist. I notice he avoids using any real figures, because the figures are actually against his position.
@Blasphemisaurusaoe3 But he's just flat wrong. The odds against an abiogenesis event is greater than the number of elementary particles in the universe, much less the number of stars.
@Saibrock Nobody knows the probability of such an event occuring. Anyone who says they do is engaging in sophistry. We don't yet know what conditions were like 3.8 billion years ago. We do not know how the first protocell formed or what it even looked like. Once we have all the pertinent information maybe then we can attempt to calculate probabilities. Ultimately we will probably need to see abiogenesis in action before we can calculate the probability of it having happened on earth
@EatCarlSagan But we can make an educated guess, based on our understanding of how life works. There are a few specific functions that a cell needs to be able to perform in order for "life" to occur (reproduction, consumption, and various self-regulation processes), and there are a minimum number of proteins required to make those things happen. The minimum number of proteins for the most basic conceivable cell is estimated at 50,000, of approximately 100 different configurations.
Watching this I am again overwhelmed of why we are not in Hover Cars, and in the space age back at home? What powers have stagnated our human Natural Evolution to keep us in the same old gasoline powered cars? Who's really doing this? And if we are doing this on other planets light years away - just what in the hell are they doing on this planet now?

@StarkeyRK I think money seeking people have hindered our own technological evolution. It's a shame that we still have the need of fossil fuel, when the technology to replace it has been around for years. No one had ever taken any interest in investing on environmentally friendly technologies before because the exploitation of fossil minerals seemed to be much more lucrative to money-hungry entrepreneurs.
It amuses me that the predicted depictions of life are so bizarre to our own. ...why cant life elsewhere be Dinosaurs. ..afterall, earth was once ruled by them, and the only reason they are not around is because we were hit with a meteor.
@InMemoryOfUs That can only be assumed, not confirmed. Since that's the case, and since this is mainly for entertainment purposes, why not have fun with it and make freaky looking things? I wouldn't watch a show that had something like this but instead of a spear tongue (or whatever it's called) and had a T-rex. I'd just watch Jurassic park if I wanted that
@braddudeguy yess.. i do believe it would make sense for life to grow with adjustments to the planet it lives on. ...like it "specializes" in that planets environment, but science has taught me to think that is unlikely. You also have to be realistic and think of the necessity for a spear tongue. ...each organ is had for a reason, so what benefits would a spear tongue bring for an animal? no teeth?
@InMemoryOfUs Like I said, this is mainly for entertainment. It's not to be taken at par. The chances of finding a planet like this, with live like this are incredibly unlikely. So sit back, relax, and enjoy.
@CyphenPhsyX I wasn't referring to Earth-like planets. I know of Hubbles accomplishments. I meant a planet exactly like this one, with little water left, and with life exactly like this.
I luv SPACE!!!

@InMemoryOfUs Because that's life as seen fit for this planet. No two planets are exactly the same

@braddudeguy no. however, the requirements for life to exsist on a planet are so specific that the life exsisting will be similar in many ways
