It seems to me that one needs to ask the question: "Why are they so intent on finding some reason for believing there is a possibility (regardless of how remote) that there is life on other planets?"

My answer is that, if they can do so, they can dispel, at least partially (if only in their own minds), the notion that Earth was uniquely created.

One small example of this special creation is the totally unique angularity between the Earth, Sun and Moon, which results in phenomena that occur during lunar and solar eclipses (or is it eclipsi?) that cannot be observed anywhere else in the universe.
