It’s always been my firm belief that anyone who believes that alien life truly exists is an idiot, and that’s put it kindly. Any rational person knows that our planet is the only one with intelligent life on it. Well, according to a poll conducted at Harvard University in the United States as well as Reichman University in Israel questioned 6,114 highly-educated and scientifically accomplished people with degrees, postgraduate qualifications and doctorates on the subject.
The results of that poll are scary: 95% of those polled admitted that they believe that alien life exists. That means that, at least in my opinion that the majority of those people are, in fact, morons. No truly educated person can possibly believe in ET and ALF. Yet, here we are, and that concerns me.
It’s frightening to think about that. Your doctor, your surgeon, your religious leader…any one of them could be so irrational as to believe that alien life exists. What about your spouse? How do you feel knowing that maybe they support the theory of alien life? What about you? Are you one of the fools who thinks God put life elsewhere?
If alien life truly exists, then why haven’t aliens contacted us? Why haven’t we found them? The answer to those questions is quite easy: alien life doesn’t exist in the first place! To put it another way, I was once in a serious relationship that started in senior year of high school. A little more than a year later, I broke up with her.
Why?
Somehow, we got on the topic of alien life. I don’t remember what the catalyst was, but she made it perfectly clear that she thought life on other planets was a possibility. It was then that I asked for the waitress, paid the check, gave my ex cab fare and left her alone at the table at a Ruby Tuesday. I never spoke to her again, dodging her calls. Phone calls. As in, the phone on my desk. Yes, kids, at one time, phones were plugged into jacks. Back then, there was no texting. But that’s neither here nor there.
The point is that I walked away from that relationship because I was not going to marry and have kids with someone who is so irrational, so unreasonable, that she believes in alien life. It might sound like a petty reason to end a relationship, but I don’t regret breaking it off with her. I don’t want anyone in my life unless they affirm that life on other planets is a downright silly theory.
Some people say that it’s “arrogant” to assume that there is no such thing as alien life. I say it’s called being a reasonable, rational adult. As a reasonable, rational adult, I proudly state to the world that I know that at this very moment, and for all eternity, this planet is the only place life has ever existed and it is the only place that life will ever exist.
