Our colleague Jay Richards, co-author with Guillermo Gonzalez of The Privileged Planet, responds to the perfervid, unremitting efforts to posit, if not find, life in outer space. People like Richard Dawkins and the New York Times-- that condemn theorists who cite evidence for intelligent design--get weak-kneed and giddy when offered totally speculative aspirations to life discoveries by scientism's guardians.
Like the economic theorist describing how to get out of a hole--"First, assume a ladder."--the materialist indicates that all it takes to find life in other galaxies is a near-infinity of stars and a near-infinity of time. Theory conquers all.
