I keep hearing about all this "tons of evidence" you people have, yet you have yet to actually produce any.

"You grew up with Jesus, so you're really, really sure of the bible. Then you belittle science because it rains on your Jesus parade, even though there's tons of evidence to support it's claims. Try to think critically, instead of relying on your feel good emotions. There is no scientific evidence for what you want to believe. Until there is, the bible doesn't support your wishes...no matter how many sermons you go to."

Wow, and ol' "Spock" here couldn't see the irony of his statements barrelling down on him like a freight train?!

Firstly, what claims are these that you speak of?
Also, Star Trek is fun and NOT telling me how I should run my life.
Your favourite piece of fiction vis. the bible, is not fun to read, does not keep me entertained, and also dares to coerce me into a life of servitude to an imaginary God. Star Trek does no such thing.

Um, pretty sure Star Trek fans realize it's fiction. Unlike Bible fans.

I'm sure this is going to be a runaway favorite pull quote.
I'm not sure which would be most lost on our friend "Mr. Spock" here; a course in statistics, or a course in STFU. He would need to master both before he had anything intelligent to add to a conversation about extraterrestrial life.

Unlike you fundies, trekkies know their fiction is fiction.
And the real mister spock wants to talk to you.

Actually I'm sure life exists elsewhere because it's impossible for it not to. It helps my case that there are single-cell organisms as close as Jupiter. Star Trek is fiction, the nuttiest of Trekkies is aware of that even as they pattern their lives after fictional civilizations. You apparantly can't make that distinction.

Um... Star Trek is fantasy, and Trekkies are aware of that. Too bad fundies don't know their book is fantasy, too.

Hallelujah!!! The evangelistic masterstroke is coming!!! They're gonna reveal the tons of evidence that support the Bible's claims. Then there'll be no more mockery of spoilt brat God for me, or presumably for anyone else. No more guffawing at the tantrums and petulant antics of the poor upset liddle widdle Goddy Woddy. I will forthwith have to come down on the side of wanton savagery and gratuitous violence. I will have to learn that ignorance is best. I'll have to burn all my books. except the Bible, King James Version, and resort to unlearning the things that I've learned, meagre though they be. Right, I'm off to practice stamping my foot in readiness and to see if I can make some progress as a liar. I wonder if there's any hatred classes available?

When I remember correctly, there was an extraordinary case in the 70s, when a well-known TV series actor was shot in public by an elder lady.
In one of the soaps which were popular at that time, he played an insidious villain. The lady saw him by chance in public, drew a pistol, and shot him from point blank range.
Questioning by the police revealed that this lady obviously did take the soap for real, she was not able to distinguish between fantasy and reality, and she thought that it is her duty as a good citizen to stop this 'evil' man.
Fundies like this one here (in case he is not a troll) remind me very much of this elder lady...

"You're a Start Trek fan, right?"
Well, yes.
"You grew up with all those aliens running around with weird heads and funny looking gills on the sides of there butt cheeks, so you're really, really sure life exists elsewhere."
Yes, I am. But not because of Star Trek or any other science fiction that I've read/seen/heard.
I'm "really, really sure life exists elsewhere" because the stuff that makes up life as we understand it appears to be pretty much everywhere. Even the stuff to make life as we speculate it could exist seems to be everywhere. It's the proper environments for life to take hold that seem to be in relatively short supply.
However, given the almost unimaginable vastness of just our galaxy alone, not to mention to billions upon billions of other galaxies each having several billion stars apiece around which the right environment is almost certain to appear on one of their planets from time to time, I find it incredibly unlikely that our little mudball we call Earth was the only place that life happens to have arisen.
"Then you belittle a book like the Bible because it rains on your Klingon parade, even though there's tons of evidence to support it's claims."
Please provide this evidence.
I've asked nicely to everyone who has ever told me this and I've yet to see any of it.
"Try to think critically, instead of relying on your feel good emotions."
Mirror, mirror...
"There is no scientific evidence for what you want to believe."
Biochemistry, evolution and life sciences in general disagree with you.
"Until there is, science doesn't support your wishes...no matter how many Trek conventions you go to."
It's not a "wish" of mine and science supports the idea of extraterrestrial life quite well. Perhaps not little green men from Mars, but life of some form none the less.

Err, what? I don't know of a single Trekkie that thinks Klingons are real. Also, what evidence? That's the problem with the Bible: it requires faith, like all religions. That's why so many religions exist and why so many sects of Christianity exist that disagree on major things in the Bible. If it were true and had "tons of evidence", it'd be like the Theory of Evolution: there's only one version of the story, it's accepted across different nationalities, religions, and political affiliations, and anyone can independently verify it.

@Noneofyourbusiness: Unfortunately, I don't remember the exact details. It happened decades ago ... Some months ago I did some internet research to find further details about this case, but unfortunately, I was not successful yet. But I remember very well that this lady took the series for real. These are details that you don't forget because of their sheer WTF???-factor.

Much as I love Star Trek, for me the belief that there's extraterrestrial life in the universe comes down to one, single fact. And it has nothing to do with television.
Space is really, really, REALLY big.

Christians are some of the biggest idiots ever. They think only one book tells the entire truth about everything, despite the fact it was written when we knew next to nothing about this universe.
