S3, There are various possibilities why this is so: 1. Some earth-like planets are still evolving into higher forms of life. 2. Some have humanoids who are still developing a civilization that could transmit and receive radio waves. 3. Some have humanoids who have evolved quickly to unity consciousness and have attained god-like qualities, such as omniscience, flying through the air, and appearing/disappearing anywhere and anytime in the universe. 4.

I can really believe that 1/3 of the US population does not accept evolution. It's pretty obvious in their behavior and lack of intelligence. :-D What we really have to do to help humans survive is arrest the materialist elite who want to control the world and try them for tyranny.

noozguru, my guess is that what is meant is that 1/3 or Americans do not believe that humans evolved from apes. I'd further speculate that for many of that 1/3, the rejection of evolution is based almost entirely on their religious beliefs. Still, it is pretty mind boggling in this day and age!

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Scientific Breakthroughs of 2013
Wrong guess (and why guess, when it's so easy to find out what the facts are?): A poll out Monday shows that less than half – 43 percent – of those who identify with the Republican Party say they believe humans have evolved over time, plunging from 54 percent four years ago. Forty-eight percent say they believe 'humans and other living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time,' up from 39 percent in 2009. [my italics] At 67 percent and 65 percent, respectively, the numbers of Democrats and independents who believe in evolution have remained more or less the same since 2009. They’re also in step with the population nationally: Six-in-10 Americans say they believe humans have evolved.

Not necessarily the same article. As I just got done saying, the poll results are all over the news. He could have read about them anywhere. Judy, here's what noozguru posted: I can really believe that 1/3 of the US population does not accept evolution. I know what he said, Share.

And they believe in the literal interpretation of the Old and New Testament. I would really have to reevaluate the meaning of the word intelligent then, John. Truly, how could one possibly see someone as intelligent on a level that matters if they believe this kind of thing. Intelligence surely needs to include an ability to reason, to understand history and evolution and to grasp in some way the rudimentary principles of science and geology and biology (to list two fields out of a number of them) that might be able to shed some light on why and how the world is not 6,000 years old. I would really question the intelligence of anyone who refuses to open their minds up to bigger possibilities that perhaps go against their hard-held beliefs. One is not intelligent if one is closed or unwilling to entertain alternate explanations or ideas.

Another possibility is that aliens have picked up our transmissions of Keeping Up with the Kardashians and are avoiding us like we avoid vacationing in Detroit or Newark.
[FairfieldLife] RE: Scientific Breakthroughs of 2013
I recently read an article that discussed the impending search for the spectral signatures of organic life. That search is going on now and is expected to yield positive evidence soon enough. All such estimates are based on the probabilities revealed by a revised formula. However, the search for intelligent life (don't be so homo-centric by calling it human) may take much longer since it assumes that they will be transmitting electromagnetic signals. http://io9.com/what-a-brand-new-equation-reveals-about-our-odds-of-fin-531575395 http://io9.com/what-a-brand-new-equation-reveals-about-our-odds-of-fin-531575395
[FairfieldLife] RE: Scientific Breakthroughs of 2013
I like Drake's equation better than the revised one since the estimate of an alien civilization would range from one to a million--which is really not very specific. But that's probably good enough since we can't be there to verify it anyway. IMO, the scientists will have to invent an advanced telescope that can probe these exoplanets to the nearest tree top. For example, the light signature from these exoplanets may show the details and clarity by analyzing their effects on subatomic particles present here on earth.
[FairfieldLife] RE: Scientific Breakthroughs of 2013
Re However, the search for intelligent life . . . may take much longer since it assumes that they will be transmitting electromagnetic signals.: That's always been my complaint. If there is intelligent life elsewhere why haven't we picked up transmissions of their equivalent of TV's Keeping Up with the Kardashians?
