Shown by the Hubble Telescope, there are Billions of other galaxies out there, each with Billions of stars. And based on recent findings, billions and billions of planets.

And you don't think that on even one other planet, life has arisen like it did.

And I remember reading about 'reputable' scientists of the time saying Man will never fly, Going faster than 40mph will kill you, Man will never fly faster than the speed of sound, etc.

Are you so certain that sometime in the next 100-200 years, someone won't find a way to get around the speed of light limitation? And that someone on another planet has already done it?

Yes, it’s nice to dream of what might be possible in the centuries to come.
But the physical limitations of space, time and gravity are very real.
Humans living on board the ISS need to readjust to earth’s gravity after just a few months in space. Who knows what shapeless form a human body might resemble after years away from earth’s gravitational pull.
Virtually every potential scenario involving man’s future in space comes from the minds of sci-fi authors. They have very vivid imaginations, no doubt, but then the unpleasantness of reality intrudes to bring them back to earth.
As an example of how wrong even educated scientists can be, in the run-up to the first atomic test at Los Alamos, there was talk amongst the most educated that the test would light the earth’s atmosphere on fire and extinguish all life on planet earth.
Obviously, this didn’t happen. If actual scientists can be so completely wrong in their estimates of what might happen, then think of how drastically wrong uneducated sci-fi writers can be in their fevered imaginations.
The human imagination can be the precursor to wonders yet undreamed of, but they must be tempered with that which is actually physically possible.
I stand by my original assertions.

So far no life of any kind has been found anywhere. The arguement that there billions of stars and planets so that must mean there's life somewhere is like saying there are trillions of grains of sand on the earth so one of them must actually be an alien.

I beleive that the search for "life" is simply an attempt to prove that God didn't create humanity for a special reason and a special purpose. Or worse that God had no hand in creating life. It was random chance and circumstance.
