>yfw you realize that if you replaced "ocean" by "universe" and "mermaids" by "aliens", the statement would remain just as ridiculous, yet a bunch of underaged sci fi kids would start defending it vigorously

>>6145922
The distribution of ridiculosity would be affected, though. Saying that only 95% of the universe is undiscovered is what would make it ridiculous.

Saying that we can't be sure there are no aliens in the universe is more like acknowleding the obvious.

>>6145948
what mermaids are we talking about? the ones that are depicted in television and arts or some sort of humanoid fish friend? if it is the latter i support this with 3 thumbs up but i think it is unlikely (not impossible) that something that was created in the minds of human to exist in todays oceans

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 9 11:15:59 2013 No.6145960 >>6145948 The ocean is a lot more thoroughly explored than outer space. Mermaid is a highly specific concept, and an implausible one. Alien is a catch-all for life that originated somewhere other than Earth.

Neat tidbit.

Some squid has been documented aranging rocks and coral around their nests when breeding like a garden. It appears to be based purely on aesthetic tastes on the squids part and surves no purpose but decoration for decorations sake.

not really...all mathematical axioms could then be dismissed. also, many problems require an assumed postulate to be solved, bitching about hitchens razor isn't particularly effective then. often, one can 'guess' or at least postulate something based on his previous intuition on the topic. It doesn't require 'evidence' as such
