The Privileged Planet bump!

I totally agree. I have posted on these habitable planet threads before, and mentioned Gonzales’ book, and Ward and Brownlee’s “Rare Earth.” The response is usually either crickets, or “you can’t know that.” No, I can’t, but I can postulate a hypothesis based on observation so far: no Earthlike worlds will be found in the galaxy except our own.

Dear lord, all I ask for is a new home in Alpha Centauri...

Just make sure there's no Dr. Smith stowing away on your ship, and you should be ok.

Excuse me you two flat earthers, the book Rare Earth and others like that is just a Hypothesis!!!!

Have you had a chance to explore the reasons.org website?

Kronos and Romulus awaits!

I don’t like little green four fingered aliens...

That's racist!

If they aren’t human, they’re not a race.

You’d be bigoted, maybe, but not at all racist.

Plus, if it turns out the green guys are the power-wielding majority with a history of mistreating third-world creatures like ourselves, then you’re good. Hate away—it’s social justice to resent them for the past, not bigotry.
