Call me a fool but I really think the only way our species will not destroy itself is if we come in contact with a more advance Alien race to tell us how stupid we are acting...

Scientists are surprisingly closed-minded when it comes to what is "habitable". Water is a substance needed for life on OUR planet. It is simply a compound of elements that was abundant here so organisms started to evolve based on that. Whos to say the same thing couldnt happen with a different element on some other planet.

@MrDeidert If we dont tear our selves apart at the contact, then I agree.

i thought i was the only person who had that 'our universe' book! it was actually really good.. i might just have to go to ebay 4 that one

@theneeg Ofc that one. But actually NASA known it for a longer time and they know why it evolved that way. It just went viral in that way. And the newspaper is ofc making a lot of money.

@theneeg Google search- Arsenic based microbes for an example of exactly what I'm talking about, for those who thought it was a ludicrous idea..

[theneeg]

@MuayThai4Llfe "NASA has indeed uncovered an entirely new life form on our planet that "doesn't share the biological building blocks of anything currently living" on Earth."

It seems my theory is indeed possible. Look it up.

[theneeg]

@EatMangos actually science is not just about expanding what we already know... science can be based on things that we had no idea about and there are hundreds of obvious examples of this if you thought about it..

@MrDeidert The day the earth stood still...

[MuayThai4Llfe]

@theneeg What would the be built from and get all protein? Would they just be some flying Iron mass? You have to think why we are in this world.. because It's the only way to evolve as organisms and then evolving. They have a lot in their mind when they all saying that.. please.. It's not like their getting to extreme elementals with 5 protons and 3 electrons.

If they were other "Aliens" I think they would be just like us. Humankind

[MuayThai4Llfe]

@MrDeidert I dont think they would be so advanced really. If so they would have contacted us somehow and they also have to live under same physic circumstances as us..

@DarthScosha

My point of view is irrelevant. How is the human race doomed? I keep trying to type up something but every time I do it branches off into 20 different things. I have no words to begin.
