I see nothing wrong with that. "These scientists [link] believe they will find ET withing 20-30 years. I will most certainly be alive to see that, according to their prediciton."
What is wrong with that statement?

I'm sorry you disagree. But when one presents a chronic problem of presenting opinion as fact, and presenting pseudo-science such as Ancient Astronauts, etc... into discussions, I think it is a wise policy to follow. It simply saves you alot of trouble in the long run, methinks. Feel free to disagree, though. This is by no means a warning or ruling of any kind - it is merely opinion. Follow it or not at your want. I merely state it because I think it would save you trouble in the long run.

And I know less than most, likely. These debates are great, and you add a certain amount of spice. I merely think more careful wording on your part likely would save trouble down the road. Follow my advice or not at your discretion, though. As stated above, this is merely opinion only
