How do you know that?
Did you read it of a 2000 year old book?
What makes you trust that book?
Clearly, there are people who don't trust it. Have you ever considered these may be on to something?
Now tell me how wrong I am.
See the difference between you and me is that I care about YOU!
Let me ask you a question: Do you believe there is intelligent life somewhere else in the universe?
Or, is this it?
You care so much you want me to believe in the same things you believe...-.-'
I fail to see how intelligent life somewhere else in the Universe relates to this topic, but WTH?!
No, I don't believe there is intelligent life somewhere in the Universe.
Although, I once did some completely subjective probability analysis of that event (plugging in stuff like how likely a star is to have a planetary system; how likely this planetary system is of having one planet in the habitable zone; how likely it is for this planet to have the correct size; how likely it is to actually generate life; how likely it is for this life to evolve into intelligent beings like ourselves) and I got that there may be something between 0.1 to 100 planets with intelligent life per galaxy.
Slightly more (subjectively) likely than: there is a god and it's the christian one (To this one, I attribute a probability of 0.000000000001 % ).
If extraterrestrial life is discovered, I won't be nearly as surprised as if a god is discovered.
