I should have mentioned the “Fermi Paradox”- since the logic of the math ( still assuming evolutionary theory of origins as the basis) and the scale of the universe demands there be other life, but the fact that there is no evidence of any such ET life argues the contrary- that there is no life out there.

So Fermi paradox seems to answer Drakes Equation- one or more of the variables may be zero- and therefore the product of the variables otherwise is Zero as well. What’s the probability of the probability since we have no evidence, only anecdote or unexplainable that there is life other than ours? If this is where we are at, then we have left math and science and now are solidly in the realm of philosophy- and a version of philosophy that apparently is w/o rational basis.

The distances in the Milky Way, not to mention extra galactic distance, are so enormous, it’s foolish to expect ET to show up here and even more foolish to think there isn’t more intelligent life out there.
