<snips>
it is unlikely that the hypothesis of life on other worlds will be 
directly verified in the near future, but no serious arguments that 
dispute this hypothesis have been advanced.

DICK JONES 
Bullshit! One guess is as good as another. The famous
physicist at Oxford, Roger Penrose, rebutted this
hypothesis quite soundly and co-authored a book about
it, disproving it with physics and math.

VINCE GARDINER 
Now there is a strong statement, and quickly rebutted in the same
paragraph. If one guess is as good as another, why is Penrose's better?

MCGILL
It seems certain we are not alone in the universe.

DICK JONES
No, it most certainly does not. It seems certain that
the Earth was the first place in the universe to have
life. See Penrose for a detailed explanation from
physics and math as to why this must be so.

VINCE GARDINER 
Many great people have said over the centuries that we assume too much.
It seems we haven't yet learnt not to.
It seems to me that if a solution to a mathmatical problem is already
known, then it should be easy to work backwards to arrive at favourable
question.

                 The only thing more powerful than the questions is the 
truth!
