“Given the vast distances in space,”
Um, that would be, well, space.
“the youth of the universe,”
Anywhere you stand on an infinite numberline, there’s something to theleft of you.
“ the improbability of advanced life in the universe,”
Now, that’s bullshit.
If you’re talking probability, those odds are spread over the INFINITY that is the universe. So, for any single planet, whatever huge number you pull out of your ass as the possibility of life on that planet, is multiplied by INFINITY.
Say, just for demonstration, that you figure life on any planet is 1/1000. If you have 10 planets, then the odds are 1/100. If you have a thousand planets, then it’s 1/1. And if you have ten million planets, then the odds of life, somewhere, become 10,000/1.
“the impossibility of traveling faster than light,”
Within Einstein’s science, yes.
“the odds of a spaceship worm-holing it”
Wait. FTL travel is impossible unless we travel FTL?
G’way, kid, you bother me.
“and landing on earth (of all the other gazillions of places) all cause me to view Ufo's crash landing here as virtually impossible”
You used ‘impossible’ in your calculations and ‘view’ the results as impossible?
Dude, if ONE of those factors is actually impossible, then the whole thing is.
This is just posing.
“even if 'theoretically possible'.”
You’re not really UP on the definition of ‘theoretical,’ are you?
“If you think there is a parallel between that impossible Roswell alien nonsense and the historicity and Jesus of Nazareth, well, feel free to demonstrate it.”
Um……………….. no?
The calculations for the historicity of Jesus are much simpler.
Are there any accounts of Jesus of Nazareth from eyewitnesses to his miracles? No.
Okay, then. Let me know if you find any.
