Astrobiology and Fantasy Moons

While having breakfast with Hammond Suisse at the eatery in town, Russell Watchtower sauntered in. He is in charge of the Ministry of Truth at the Darwin Ranch and seemed unusually full of himself that day. He spotted us and we invited him to pull up a chair.

Russell, like misotheists and other evolutionists, is fond of assertions. But those are neither evidence nor facts. With people like this, I tend to ask questions that make them uncomfortable. (Some get irate, others end the conversation. I hope they study on things later.) Watchtower gloated about life on other worlds.

After warming up to his subject, he pushed back his chair and began slowly walking with a hand grasping his lapel. He gestured with the other hand, saying how moons of Uranus may support life. I asked him how he knows that, and he said that there may be water under the surface of some moons.

That means life could evolve out yonder. Then I proceeded to ask if there is any actual evidence, or if it is just speculation? Doesn't life need more than just water? He gave me a glance and then went on to discuss other things like Charon, a moon of Pluto. After more of my questioning, he left.

This helps illustrate the way much of science operates today. Researchers make a few observations, then draw conclusions that have nothing to do with observable evidence. There are enough words like maybe, perhaps, could be, scientists think, and other things to fill pickle barrels and and stock a warehouse with them.

The "science" of astrobiology is supposed to study extraterrestrial life, but there is nothing to study. Lots of efforts by secularists to deny evidence for recent creation is given, lots of guesswork, though. In addition, Darwin's Flying Monkeys™ pick up on these fantasy speculations and think they have ammunition to use against creationists.

If life happened here, evolution-trusting astrobiologists think, it might be happening elsewhere, even if we can’t observe it. But does “might” make right? Somewhere back when, astrobiologists left epistemic modesty in the trash can. Speculation rules!
