This highlights a general difference between theists and sceptics.
Theists generally seem stuck in the old mindset that the earth is the centre of the universe, or that the earth pretty much is the only important thing with everything else being a backdrop. This is often given away by interchangeable use of "world" and "universe".
Sceptics seem to be able to accept that our planet, and the life on it, are as much of a backdrop as anything else.
That really says a whole lot of nothing, snowtracks. We've barely begun to explore space. If other complex lifeforms exist, we may simply not have contacted each other given the vast distances involved and the sheer number of other stars. Saying it's the only known place makes it a big non sequitur. What we currently know has zip impact on any truth to the idea that the earth is the center of our universe. It is the center of the known universe. That and $6 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbuck's.
