If you don't want to be by yourself that's okay. I suppose I could just walk around quizzing people on astrobiology and get you some company, but as of right now the reason you're alone is because you're the only person who has made a statement on this board about astrobiology that showed ignorance (Well, there are probably more, but that was the only one I read). The general public is irrelevant since a majority of them aren't even participating in this thread.
This thread isn't about astrobiology, and I didn't bring the subject up. Had I done so then yes, I would have been acting ignorantly. The fact that I am ignorant on the subject is a fact for the general population. It isn't that I am lonely, It is just that, well, your comment made no sense whatsoever

Actually we were discussing "Other subjects". Life in outer space just happend to come up. We were actually talking about GOD and existance and and afterlife. But you can go back and read it for yourself, since it is sounding very much like you haven't yet. I think that would be ignorant to be so intrusive on a conversation, not knowing where it started, and outter space wasn't it, son.

OH! see now you made it out to be like you were an expert. So since you have only seen one show, that didn't even center the subject, wouldn't you really be the one acting ignorantly? Since YOU brought it up, not I. The only comment on it I made is the one you have tried to disect.

You don't even understand what you said! LOL This whole thread has turned into humor for me. Some people on here are so open minded, and calm and loving. I have meet some REALLY cool people here. Then we get the militant athiests who has all kinds to say, and then disappears. Or people who call themselves street trash, don't read a now 5 page long thread (and these are LONG pages), watches a mini show on a subject and then goes around correcting people about topics they didn't start. Then calling them ignorant when they ADMIT to not knowing about it. Your right, I am ignorant about the subject, along with everyone else who can't stand biology. And I plan to leave that stuff to those interested in it. This is the first time I have ever talked about it, and I was dragged into the converstaion by someone ignorant of the actual topic being discussed
