Oh, what a surprise! Flagellum/Teleos makes an appearance in a thread that veers towards questioning the dominion of his godhead, in order to push his worldview.
Given that we only found evidential support of there being extrasolar planets 20 years ago and given that this evidence amounts to little more than shadows or minute gravitational wobbles in parent stars, it is pretty ignorant to assume that we should have already found evidence of life.
This is the sum of all of your arguments - you hold up Science as somehow being in receipt of all the universe's knowledge (at least that which your god has chosen to provide), and that the gaps therein substantiate proof of your god's existence.
Your beliefs represent ignorance and arrogance bound inextricably together as you careen ever forward through further repeating cycles of self-validation.

I am in no need of self-validation. That would be your first error. And I do not assume that we "should have already found evidence of life". I actually affirm the plausibility of life, in some form, in other parts of the universe. My argument is that current data suggests that complex life is probably extraordinarily rare given the known requirements for it.

Where did you quote this from, Drno?

It's not my 'error', it's a logical interpretation of the happenstance of your only popping up in these sorts of threads. And Lo, "'first' error"! - hark at the innately arrogant implication that I am, by default, wrong!
I'd, of course, agree with your argument about complex life being extraordinarily rare - such assertions are nothing new, and nothing outwith current scientific thought.
But it's the subtext to "seems that the most current data has turned the dated "copernican principle" on it's head." that I question - your insinuation being that the data we have access to now is the sum total of what we should expect and that it shouldn't point to anything other than this being the case.
We are nothing special. We are a moderately unlikely statistical event in a mind-bogglingly large universe. Our beliefs, religious or otherwise, are irrelevant to these questions whilst we poke around in the dark.
Anyway, there's nothing said here that hasn't been said here a hundred times before, so I bid you adieu (after reading your inevitable reply, of course).

I'm just agreeing with him in the most bonkers way possible these days; I'd have employed the same tactic if faced by Torquemada.

10 petaflops would make a nice renderfarm!
But, the real question is, would Peta approve?
