I'm confused, I thought the Jap's Eye was our third eye?

So if you cannot see something; you cannot prove it does not exist, therefore it must exist? Ah I get it two negatives make a positive! Eureka

Did I make a mistake in my calculations
At the current speed Voyager 1 is travelling 17 km/ps it would take 8.8 million years to travel 500 light years.
Am I wrong?

There is a story about a lady who lived near here in the 50's, who was abducted by Aliens and impregnated. It is very interesting - you can read about it here. http://www.ufoevidence.org/photographs/section/africa/Photo36.htm.
Sadly in this account, they do not say whether she had the baby or not. Rumour is that she did and that the baby was, how can I say, darker than perhaps Mrs Klarer would have expected.
You can make your own minds up about that one then......

Can you just pick on creature that looks almost identical to another, which is unrelated? Types of beetle, for example, are types of beetle, so are presumably related.
I've said that it is extremely likely that there is life on other planets, and you've said it's highly unlikely there is. So what is it I've dismissed wholesale?
No, I was referring to your comment that you're "100% sure that there are civilisations out there". So not just life, and not just intelligent life, but civilisations. Isn't 100% a bit too sure? (ps, I should have put a smiley after my comment, but I rarely bother).Did I make a mistake in my calculations

Our Solar System is just one member of the Milky Way galaxy with 200 to 400 billion stars. The current estimate is that there are 100 to 200 billion galaxies in the Universe, each of which has hundreds of billions of stars. A recent German supercomputer simulation put that number even higher: 500 billion. In other words, there could be a galaxy out there for every star in the Milky Way. The chances of life out there, somewhere, is, therefore, almost certain.
That sounds similar to how Jesus was conceived.

It's different species that is important. For example there is a mammal on New Zealand that looks exactly like one that lives in the Amazon. I forget the name but it looks similar to a small tree dwelling raccoon. You really would have trouble telling them apart without DNA testing but they are from completely different species they have just evolved almost identically.
I'm trying to find a link that will explain it better than I can.

Why would they need some shit? That's just gross. How evolved are these people (ie. us)?

How is it certain? And to be a pedant how can something be almost certain? You are either certain or you are not.

The thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian wolf, is often used as a prime example of convergent evolution. Now extinct, the thylacine occupied the same ecological niche as canine predators in other parts of the world. Despite having almost no evolutionary relation, thylacines and gray wolves have very similar morphology, are roughly the same size and share many features.
You can probably see an example of convergent evolution right outside your window. There are tens of thousands of species of plants, many of them unrelated to each other. Yet plant species worldwide have evolved leaves. While leaves come in many shapes and sizes, we all know a leaf when we see one, because they’re all so similar. There are certainly cases of divergent leaf evolution (pine needles, for example), which only makes it all the more fascinating that so many species evolved leaves that look the same.

Nobody knows the actual size of the Universe. If it is infinite then life elsewhere is certain. Alternatively the odds are stacked in favour of life elsewhere. 400 billion stars in a galaxy x 500 billion galaxies is a LOT of stars with half a dozen planets in each solar system. The fact that moons orbiting Jupiter and Saturn have been identified as having subterranean water, the chances are that life will be found in our own solar system, not to mention the theory that life on Earth could have been germinated from Mars.

Of course he's not Yoda. Nibble does NOT believe in Aliens. As Yoda is green, uses the force, was very old and is a Vodafone user, he is clearly an Alien. If Nibble was Yoda, this would be nonsensical.
Anyway, Nibble is often Angry. Anger is a trait of the dark side so he is likely to be Anakin Skyewalker or that bloke with red and black head that got turned over by Obi Wan Kenobi in that really crap film with Liam Neeson.

There is practically nowhere on Earth that no life can be found, it is everywhere. The Tardigrade (a competitor for worlds Hardest Animal) can survive, if not carry out it's life cycle, at all kind of extremes.
The genesis moment is not understood, so it is impossible to predict the likelihood of life off earth, but once you have single celled organisms on a planet, it is highly likely that at some point intelligent life would evolve on that planet.
The fact that all life on Earth has shared DNA suggests that all life on Earth has the same early ancestry and that spontaneous life from a chemical soup is not common, so I think we are either pretty rare, or this planet was seeded from elsewhere, or both.
