Let's see, we have found earth like life on one out of 501 planets (earth itself). That is a success rate of 0.2%. Now how many planets are there? Multiply that by 0.2% and the number of potential life supporting planets is very, very large.

But the universe is a finite number of years old.
What if we're first?

So, let’s carry this logic further...you exist on planet earth where life itself exists. So, there is a great chance that you exist on another planet as well, do you like it there I wonder?

of potential life supporting planets is very, very large. That may be true, but this is the only plant the Creator of that very, very large universe chose to sacrifice His Son for. That alone makes us very special.
