If you are abreast of scientific advances then I'm sure you have read it peer revewied documents that were published in the New Scientist on the data from the James Web telescope.I'm not for one minute suggesting that we're alone in the Universe and never have suggested or inferred any such thing. In fact whenever this or a similar topic has been posted on here i've always maintained the opposite view i.e that it's highly unlikely that we're alone in the Universe. If you've read any of my previous posts when this topic has been mentioned you will see that is the case, but perhaps you haven't.
There's almost certainly other life forms somewhere in the Universe and it may have developed along the same lines as us or it may not. Even if it has it may not be as advanced as us or it may be more advanced.
It's just that whenever this topic, aliens, ufos' or life somewhere else in the Universe there's seems to be a presumption that it's far more advanced/sophisticated than us which they may not be. That they're travelling around the cosmos in spacecrafts that can travel at the speed of light or even faster, if that is even possible which according to Einstein's theory of relativity isn't possible
But perhaps some on here know better than dear old Albert.
As i've said sub-atomic particles, protons electrons neutrons, neutrinos, quarks may be able to but as for physical/tangible objects i've yet to be convinced and shall maintain my scepticism to say the least.
This new data thrusts back the big bang theory and even calls it to question, because at heart Science is eternal questioning and upgrading with new data.
It is not a religion as you are treating it, indeed Einsteins equations have severed us well but for example Donald D Hoffman in his book, "The Case Against Reality" postulates theory that would beg to differ. The theory of ftl is just that, a theory. Science fiction becomes science fact every day, keeping an open mind enter got the human race to where it is today and clinging to scientific evidence and claiming we have reached the end of the line is the same thinking that burnt people at the steak for claiming the earth was not the centre of the universe.
IMHO.
End of line.
