WE ARE THE ONLY INTELLIGENT LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE... and perhaps the only life anywhere in the universe.

I'd say the probabilities are against you. WAY against you.

I'd say the probabilities are against you. WAY against you.

That's okay.

I used to feel the same as you. A long time ago.

As time passes, and one examines the probabilities and possibilities and opportunities for life, and the extensive organization that went into creating our station in the universe (position of the sun in our galaxy, the planetary alignments, including the position of our world in a planetary system, the distance to our star, and the functions served by our planetary neighbors, and the almost infinite requirements that the creation of life entails), then, one tends to think differently.

Taking everything into consideration, one tends to think that we are not HERE by chance or by probabilities.
