Imagine if it’s all true, religion hopefully would die within the hour, now they really are the nut jobs in the world

Do you know, it's been said since i was a kid that if they found other life then religion would die but I don't think it would. They'd just adapt their bullshit. You'd have thought that things like the proving of evolution would have done it but it didn't. think about all those doomsday religions too, when the end of the world comes but the world doesn't end, they just decide that God had mercy or changed his mind or whatever.

People will believe ANYTHING to ensure they don't face up to the fact that they got something fundamental wrong. Acknowledging that requires a further acknowledgement that most people won't make.

It wouldn’t end religion but it would be a waypoint in the decreasing number of people who follow one, in the same way less people follow a religion now than they did before the evolution was proven.

500 years ago pretty much everyone would have been religious, mainly because they didn’t have the freedom or access to information that may have changed their belief (or lack of it).
 
Sat outside the last hour. Clear sky. Very obvious what is a passing plane.

Within this hour I have watched at least 5 lights cross at very high altitude. No blinking, so not planes. Various speeds. Things that don’t look like you can put a label to.

There is alot going on up there.

Sounds like they could be meteors? How long did they last?

They’re much more common than people realise. According to Greenwich observatory the average is about one every ten minutes. So if you look at the sky long enough you’re likely to see a few.

Definitely satellites - there can be some quite bright ones as well and they move deceptively slowly. The ISS is always quite fun to look out for as it is one of the brightest out there. The website below shows times and where to look for it if you're interested (also shows other satellites as well).
