I can, based on observations and other factors, speculate as to the
chances of the existence of extraterrestrial life. I can suspect that
there is/is not extraterrestrial life. Based on the evidence you've
contributed I've formed an opinion and a supposition.
You have chosen to criticize me, rather than the facts I propose. This is the end of our conversation.

Just like you do. Now shut up and go away, troll.
Do you think that name-calling is an acceptable form of communication?
A poster asked for something that cannot, even in theory, be delivered.
An army of people equally ignorant has come to his defense.
The "wisdom of crowds?" Suppose you took a vote at your high school as to the value of pi? At the university I attended, no one would have fallen for it. At my high school, I'm not even confident as to how my home room section (probably the brightest people in a city of a million) would have responded. Ignorance is everywhere. Is that what you want to defend?
