No ET! Ever?

I must admit, I was surprised to read this from Brian Cox...
What do you think? Can you get your mind around the concept that we are alone? And always have and always will be?

I can hear the theists saying: I told you we're special, you just don't listen...

I found his article by Brian Cox interesting but I also see the conclusions he jumps to. First of all he seems to be basing his comments on the Big Bang Theory. If the universe is limited to a time and space restriction he may or may not be correct. It is clear that complex life forms such as humans (Industrial life forms) are rare. Look how long our planet was here before we evolved into what we are today. Billions of years.

However if the universe is infinite and eternal as I am sure it is. There are not only other Industrial life forms like us but there are an infinite number of them. In fact a blanket universe would produce an infinite number of every life form on our planet and every life form that has ever existed or will exist. Life is simply a natural byproduct of the natural universe.
