Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

I never said so. I simply believe that once we are able to detect a terrestrial planet in the CHZ of a G-type star in the Milky Way, that we won't find another. Hence, the Rare Earth hypothesis.

I want to see the evidence. Otherwise, how can the hypothesis be addressed?

I would imagine one could say the same thing about all the religions and the Gods they worship.

We all want to see evidence. So what is your problem then? You've cast your lot. You think human habitable planets are rare. Fine...

The odds are stacking up against this hypothesis with every passing scan of the night sky.

Good luck...
