Seems some, like you want to make this a religious thread... And others want to make it a secular one...

I think a lot of people got sucked into Buck Rogers and Jules Verne and later Star Trek and Star Wars. The planets in those shows are metaphors for countries, and space is a metaphor for the oceans, whether intentional or not, and it harkens back to a day when there were places on this planet that were truly unexplored, or at least the civilizations hadn't contacted each other enough for everything to seem familiar.
As to whether there is life out there, I have no idea. Whether I believe it or not has no bearing on whether it's out there. If there is life out there, it's possibly algae, not Vulcans or hot green chicks.

“God created the Earth, and we should be grateful for every breath. Apparently, that is too much to ask from some.”
Indeed, HE did.
I appreciate more and more people like you who speak out for God, our Creator.
Thank you,
BR

Goodness!
Ok....
“Surely?”
Yup
“Why??”
Why not?
“Law of Probability?”
Yup
“What is THAT?”
Catch phrase for the application of mathematics to the stochastic processes of the universe.
“What DATA will you plug into this ‘law’ to test the assertion? “
What are your own assertions, and what data do you plug into them?

Einstinian mind experiment:
We have 45 numbers in our state Lotto® system (pulling 6 at a time).
In 12 years, the number 26 has NEVER been selected.
What is the PROBABILITY that it will not be selected again next week?

But, Elsie...
Why do I care? Better to buy gold, at the moment.

First find the number of individual G2 stars in our galaxy, and go from there.
