One signal will put an end to all religions
When the first message from an alien civilisation is received, there's a good chance that it will come via the NSW radio telescope that featured in The Dish.
The Parkes Telescope is co-starring in a new, $US100 million ($135 million), 10-year mission to discover whether humanity is alone in the universe.
The 'Breakthrough Initiative', entirely funded by Russian billionaire Yuri Milner and launched in London on Monday by physicist Stephen Hawking, is by far the biggest and most comprehensive search for alien intelligence ever attempted.
Parkes, along with the Green Bank telescope in West Virginia, USA, will point at the million stars closest to the Earth and the 100 closest galaxies, and listen for telltale 'bumps' in the signal that could mean alien technology is at work.

The detection of one signal of extra-terrestrial origin will pull the floor out from under each and every religious book every written and prove once and for all that there are no bearded sky fairies, no heaven, no hell, no Muhammad and that the notion of "gods" are a construct of man and do not exist.
A signal from another species will prove that we are not the result of some celestial beings science experiment, but are in fact the result of a process that occurs commonly throughout the universe. It will prove that we are not special, that we are not made and that we are not the supreme beings we think we are. It will prove that we are one of many and that our place on this cosmos while still ours to decide is not being judged or driven or planned out by some celestial father figure. And it will also prove that we are not alone and won't that be a very, very good thing.

Can't see it killing religion they'd find a way to explain it like the classic " God works in mysterious ways".
I bow down to thee oh great Nickman, the wisest of the wise, your political adroitness is unsurpassed, your sagacity is unmatched, your wisdom shines through on this forum amongst us mere mortals as bright as your scalp under the light of a full moon, never shall I doubt your analytical prowess again. You are my hero, my lord, my savior, may you accept my offerings so you continue to bless us with your genius.
Re: One signal will put an end to all religions.
There is absolutely no way it would spell the end of religion. Existing religions will most definitely find a way to account for alien life; hell, we'll probably see a heap of new religions start up.
Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

Re: One signal will put an end to all religions
Every current religion works on the same premise, that their teachings are right and their being made us and the world we live on.
Finding a signal from another species proves they are all wrong and that our existence is not the result of anything other than the common and repeatable processes of accretion and evolution.
It is the end game for all religious beliefs. People will still be free to believe what they want, but this will prove their beliefs are wrong and that 95% of the population of the planet are wrong.

Re: One signal will put an end to all religions
Yep TR, if the Vatican can accept evolution they'll accept alien life. The need to believe is a powerful thing among people hence why religion is still around today despite science.

Re: One signal will put an end to all religions
How would they adapt to their premise being proven fundamentally wrong? Religions are nothing but theories and when a theory is proven wrong it is cast aside. That is the very nature of education and learning.
Much of which I learnt at school is no longer valid. For example, Pluto is not a planet but there are other planets orbiting other suns. The universe will not stop expanding. There is life at the bottom of the ocean.
And when we do prove one theory over another that theory is cast aside, for example the discovery of the Higgs Boson proved the standard model of matter is the correct one.
Once we prove how we came to be, ie via a process, all other theories can and will be cast aside.

But this sticks in my mind ;
Even if we assumed life existed somewhere else in the universe, a visit by extraterrestrials to earth, such as is claimed in UFO reports, seems completely impracticable, if not impossible. The distances (and therefore the likely travel times) are unimaginably vast.
The closest star to the earth, Proxima Centauri (a-Centauri C) is 40.7 million million kilometers (approximately 25 million million miles) away. The Apollo flights took three days to get to the moon. At the same speed, one would need 870,000 years to get to the nearest star. Of course, one could accelerate (particularly unmanned) probes to a greater speed.
At the incredible speed of one-tenth the speed of light, the trip, one way would still take 43 years. However, one would need enormous amounts of energy for such an acceleration, roughly equivalent to the electricity consumption of the entire world's population for one month.
The bible doesn't really deny or affirm other species. Why would it? It was written for inhabitants of earth.
I can't speak for Islam, Hindu, Shinto, Buddhism, or even explicitly for Judaism and Christianity. I'm no expert on these religions, and neither are you.
Your assumption is bordering on ridiculous. While it's exciting we've come close to Pluto, remember that in the 9 years the craft travelled there, not one time has it encountered a ufo, or detected any form of life.
And again, take note of the distance to our nearest star. Bloody unlikely anything will ever reach it.
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Your talk of technology Dubby assumes aliens would be at our point in science instead of more advanced, I'm guessing there'd be civilizations much more advanced and some less advanced than us.

Re: One signal will put an end to all religions
There are bibles literalists who claim for the bible to be true (which they believe 100%), the world must be flat and unmoving and all the heavens above move around the earth.
The fact that the earth has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to be a sphere hasn't shaken their belief. They just convince themselves that all the evidence is some sort of global conspiracy.

This is true and I've talked with many of them. They do not believe in carbon dating. They believe the Earth is less than 10,000 years old.

Re: One signal will put an end to all religions
I read a theoretical paper once on the sheer vastness of our universe that stated that if we built a ship big enough to house 10,000 people with enough plant, food and water to last 1000 generations and we sent that ship to our nearest star to colonise a planet there using todays tech, by the time they got there the human race would have evolved to a point where we could control worm holes and we would have already colonised that planet and a complete population would already be there by the time they arrived. Such is the distance (4.37 light years) and time it would take us to get to our nearest star of Proxima Centauri.Manbush wrote:Life we would probably come across would be more advanced otherwise they wouldn't have been able to reach our solar system so they're the obvious ones to talk about, I don't think anyone would believe all life outside earth would be more advanced it's illogical.dubby wrote:See most people assume another life form would be more advanced.Manbush wrote:Your talk of technology Dubby assumes aliens would be at our point in science instead of more advanced, I'm guessing there'd be civilizations much more advanced and some less advanced than us.
