200 Billion galaxies. 100 billion stars per galaxy. Do some math. Yes it is finite... but incomprehensible to our brains to fathom the actual size and scope. And to say life has a tiny chance. 8 planets 1 star, one planet has life. That is 1/8 those are not tiny odds. When there are 120938021830921749873974219873921793872193721739721931 ^10 planets out there. Your being disingenuous.
1 out of our 8 planets 100% has life thats for sure, what about mars? looks like theres dried up river channels on the photos (could be lava flows) and if there was water once on mars theres a good chance there could have been microbial life, that would be 2 out of 8 and what about the moon europa? a lot of experts think there is a very good chance liquid water is under the surface, that would be 3 places in our tiny solarsystem!

This is basically the same reasoning which causes me to be an atheist. However, I would nevertheless concede that despite both numbers being incredibly small, there is probably slightly more likelihood of an eventual proof of ET than there is of an eventual proof of the existence of an all-knowing all-powerful creator. But that's not really saying very much and IMO whatever sum of money is being spent looking for ET, it is too much.
have you not watched any documentries on the subject? they are finding new planets every day and plenty in the habitial zone where water can be be on the planet as a liquid, if you dont belive in a god and also think we are the only planet with life on why do you think we are even here? if theres no creator, but life has evolved on this planet then surely it can evolve elsewhere.

Based on what evidence?
Do I believe there is life (including bacteria) on other planets? Not yet,however I think it's highly likely.I would not be surprised if some form of microbe or fossilised life was found on Mars because water has been discovered there.
Sentient life? I guess a statistician might say that given what we know about the size of the universe and numbers of stars,there is a probability of one. I think the statistician is probably right. However,probability is not proof.

Personal request;would you mind terribly having a go at correct spelling rather than the illiteracy of text spelling? I ask only because I'm an intolerant old prick and easily peeved.
