I relevant article some of you might be interested in: FERMI PARADOX
He talks about the probability of life on another planet, the probability of that life being as intelligent or waaayyyy more intelligent than us, and some theories for why we have not heard from them yet.
Here's an excerpt:
"As many stars as there are in our galaxy (100 – 400 billion), there are roughly an equal number of galaxies in the observable universe—so for every star in the colossal Milky Way, there’s a whole galaxy out there. All together, that comes out to the typically quoted range of between 1022 and 1024 total stars, which means that for every grain of sand on every beach on Earth, there are 10,000 stars out there."
I find it hard to believe that with chances that great, there is no other life out there. But it gets more interesting when he goes on to explain the theories of why we haven't heard from them.
If anyone finds time to read the article, tell me what you think!

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
