please cut it out.you sound very stupid right now.
great reply. So are you trying to tell us that math/science, especially when dealing with space ... are not the study of patterns? are you trying to tell us using probability to come up with an answer to the question "is there another earth with life on it like ours?" is not based on patterns?
are you trying to tell me that if a pattern shows ABBBABBBABBB_ that the next unknown answer using probability would not come out to A..based on the pattern before it?
and if thats the case then how on earth could you know the answer to that same question above with only seeing A once in the pattern?
ABBBBBBBBCCCDDDBBBCCCDDBBBBB_ we cant say even using probability that the next letter is A. how on earth would we know this? we can't. we dont have a repeater to show a pattern to say for sure there is another earth like ours.
