I'm sorry, but I just think our money's being swallowed up by a big, black hole here. These guys just want to find life on other planets so bad they can't stand it and I think it's so they can confirm their belief in no God. Maybe I'm wrong and there's useful things they're learning but I've never cared for the space program. Especially not one funded by tax dollars. Maybe I'm just a grump about this. Paul says in Phillipians not to complain about anything.

I don't particularly care for the space program either because all that money could be put to much better use here on Earth. However, with the way we are going towards destroying this planet, I guess we better be finding somewhere else to live.
These bible thumpers really suffer from paranoia.
"I'm sorry, but I just think our money's being swallowed up by a big, black hole here. "
I feel the same way about "faith-based initiatives."
"These guys just want to find life on other planets so bad they can't stand it and I think it's so they can confirm their belief in no God."
I could argue in the same vein that you want to believe in God so desperately that you don't want them to find life anywhere outside Earth, so that your belief in your shit-stained Bible goes unchallenged.
NO...Couldn't be.
"Maybe I'm just a grump about this. Paul says in Phillipians not to complain about anything. "
Then shut the fuck up.

And finding life on another planet would do that how again?

The space program is the reason you have some of the nifty technology and materials you have, moron.

Then follow his advice and shut the fuck up.
I think it's so they can confirm their belief in no God.
Why would finding life on Mars disprove the existence of God? Sure, it would be yet another of the many nails in the coffin of absolute Bible literacy, but that coffin was already nailed down years ago in the minds of all but a small band of Protestant Americans.

Well, luckily, nobody asked your opinion.
NASA budget: 17.6 billion.
US military budget: $439.3 billion.
Total US military expenditures: $626.1 billion.
Black hole? You decide!
Ya know, ID fans should WANT to find alien life. If so, they would have more evidence that life is common, and since ID math tells them that life should be very rare, ET life would be further evidence of God.
Too bad these guys only believe in ID because it tells them they're unique little snowflakes.
You should be a grump. The space program has specifically demonstrated that there is no firmament, and heaven does not exist.
Religionists should never complain about where tax money goes. Their masters never contribute their fair share.
And yet, all Paul ever seems to do is complain. Or brag. He was a sexist pig and a murdering con-man who figured out how to get fame and fortune off of the growing Christ-myth. You guys care more about what Paul says then what Christ said. Because Jesus told you to be a decent person and that you were still under the law but to follow it to the spirit not the letter. Whereas Paul makes it easy and says you can lie, boast, steal, and generally be a dick but if you're sorry and you just believe the right things, you'll get to heaven. Oh and please hate sex and females while you're at it. Look Paul up, he's quite the character and the reason I stopped believing all this crap.
I was so close to agreeing with you there!
"I think it's so they can confirm their belief in no God."
"Paul says in Phillipians"
then you made it religious!
I guess at some point man will need to colonize other planets, and that at some point we'll need to develop space tech to make things cheaper, but it does seem very pointless until we make real, significant findings.
Remember, rockets that could take cargo into space were pointless until they got satellites... Now we can pay too much for television and phone service through those guys..
Planets populated only by atheists or planets were dinosaurs evolved and still live...that would be way cool!
Seriously, though, stop adopting the grandiose view that the object of science is to disprove god, and take you own advice and stop fucking complaining.
Many medical advances have been initiated in space. It's all intermingled; a break-trough in the space program might be usable on Earth, a break-through on Earth might be usable in space.
Phillipians?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
