Abiogenesis and the Silence of the Space Aliens

In their continuing mission to prop up Charlie's Victorian myth, Darwin's disciples are boldly dancing with space aliens in the pale moonlight. That may seem edgy and adventurous, but no aliens are available for dancing — or anything else.

All the tax money spent in efforts to find intelligent life on strange new worlds... but none has been found. A survey taken of astrobiologists shows that most believe it must exist. They have a vested interest, getting paid for studying nonexistent entities. Someone should tell DOGE about this waste of money.

From a secular perspective, these astronomers and such don't know any better. Although abiogenesis (chemical evolution, life from non-life) is shown to be impossible, they presuppose that it happened anyway. Just not on Earth. Also, they play by numbers based on assumptions: So many stars that would have worlds, the odds are in favor of them having intelligent life. However, the Fermi paradox essentially asks, "Where is everybody?" The aliens should be practically screaming, "We're right here, y'all!"

Science is driven by data, yes? Scientists follow where the evidence leads, yes?

No. The narrative is more important than the evidence many times. Evidence doesn't "lead" anywhere. For that matter, evidence for recent creation is rejected by the a priori commitment to atheistic naturalism held by most secular scientists. They need to cowboy up and admit that their position is faith-based. Have the aliens stopped screaming? No, they never started because they aren't around.

A common assumption made by evolutionists is that life evolved on Earth eons ago due to the interplay of natural factors. It follows that, if the conditions are right, life must exist elsewhere in the universe.

The importance of finding life elsewhere is that it would support the evolutionary premise that abiogenesis is possible, given enough time. If extraterrestrial life were discovered, they presume, it would remove one of the largest impediments to accepting evolution. They think it would support the secular view that God is not necessary to explain the origin of life. For this reason, some evolutionists have faith that life exists elsewhere in the universe, and remain perennially hopeful that they will find what they believe must be out there. And they are spending billions of tax dollars to find it.
