'Indeed. Therefore it's fallacious to try and base reasoning off the position that there's an absence of life as we don't know it,'
According to this logic there is no absence of God, according to Crashfrog then?
Sorry Crash, I couldn't resist it, I know you argue that there is no God because there is no evidence. But there is definately no evidence of other life .

'If you think you dropped your contact lens in the alleyway behind the bar, and you look out in front of the alley where the light is better and you can't find it, is that evidence that your contact lens is gone forever? Hardly. You haven't even looked where we would expect the evidence of your contact lens to be yet, so how can you claim there's no evidence?'
Fair enough, good analogy. You kicked butt.

Let's leave it here, or I'll have to change my name to 'topicdestroyer'.
