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.

Very well said. I don’t think that it’s the only purpose, but it is the biggest one. If you believe in the assumption that there is life elsewhere, then you would be likely to assume there is life existing that is superior to humans, as well. We would simply be the average of the billions of possibilities. But that does not mesh with the belief we were created in God’s image.

I am always fascinated by humans who have the hubris to decide what God can and cannot do.

Lol.

The odds that there is any life anywhere much less life like we have on earth much less life as advanced as cat much less life as advanced as humans are so small as to be almost zero. If science looked at it honestly they would say there's no chance. Honest ones who saw there's no chance then had to come up with and push the idea of a multiverse....now the thought is that there are an infinite number of universes where anything could happen and we just happen to live in one of the successful ones. Again, other attempt to explain our reality without turning to God.
