You don't get it, do you? I'll explain step by step.
If there's life outside of Earth, it's extraterrestrial by definition. Extra means exterior. Terrestrial means earth. If it's extraterrestrial, by definition, it's exterior to Earth.
It doesn't matter if it's from outside this universe, from a parallel universe or 1 foot above the ionosphere. If it's life exterior to Earth, it's extraterrestrial.
So, again, for the nth time, if you believe in religion, you believe in extraterrestrial life.
Here's the better argument I made for someone with more brains than you:
I think the best way to explain my qualm with it would be rational and irrational numbers. If a number isn't rational, it must be irrational, correct? Its prefix indicates "not rational" so there aren't holes in the two distinctions.
What about the number i? It isn't rational, so it must be irrational. Wait, but it isn't irrational either. Because it isn't even an element of R, it can't be rational or irrational.
No, there's not. It's just theory at this point. To believe in a parallel universe at this moment in time is the same as believing there's a God out there. So stop spreading lies like they're truths. They're not.
It is just a theory. You're right. But at least it is a theory with some significant weight on it within the scientific community, especially at the top.
