The thing that trips up most people also is they restrict themselves to think life as we know how it survives on Earth. Aka, Oxygen consuming, CO2 emitting (or visa versa), need water, etc. But there's no reason to think why life must obey these rules, elsewhere. In fact, we KNOW this is bunk - there's bacteria living in a phosphorus lake that consumes that and arsenic, instead of any O2 or CO2. We have organisms on Earth, now, that break the mold on how life "should" work and survive, meaning it's silly to think Earth's limitations would follow suit everywhere else.

Once you realize this, it really opens up the possibility for an astounding sort of life to be possible.

OK... but how does this affect anything I've said?

We're not talking about microbial life in this topic - that extraterrestrial microbial life exists is almost a certainty at this point - we're talking about intelligent life. And whether that life evolved based on carbon compounds or silicon ones, consuming oxygen, hydrogen, or some other gas, if it meets our classical definition of "life" and "sentience", the specifics of their biology really don't matter.

Even life in our own galaxy (which I believe) is likely too far away to contact. People think that the Universe being 'old' means there would be tons of advanced aliens out there. I think there are tons of relatively intelligent aliens out there, but I personally consider the universe fairly young, so there hasn't been enough time for intelligent life to develop intergalactic space-travel nor communication methods (that are fast enough).

most people lie all the time

youre kidding yourself if you think you or anyone else is any different, and having authority is only likely to make a person more dishonest

Like over a year ago where have you been

It's been a very long time since I read a comic, especially a DC one. I don't remember Clark Kent being gay.

I was referring to the books in the library. You can learn a lot from books in a library. You can also take out Russell Brand or Ben Shapiro's latest books.

Libraries should have every book possible.

Right, but do you see my point that a library can hold a book that, without the proper context, could misguide an individual? Mein Kampf? The Turner Diaries?

You might be on to something

I remember Clark Kent being a fictional character in a serialized comic series.

and I remember him being a big sexy hunk
