Intelligent Life Really Can’t Exist Anywhere Else
Hell, our own evolution on Earth was pure luck.
In research published in 2020 from Oxford University's Future of Humanity Institute, scientists study the likelihood of key times for evolution of life on Earth and conclude that it would be virtually impossible for that life to evolve the same way somewhere else.
Life has come a very long way in a very short time on Earth, relatively speaking—and scientists say that represents even more improbable luck for intelligent life that is rare to begin with.
For decades, scientists and even philosophers have chased many explanations for the Fermi paradox. How, in an infinitely big universe, can we be the only intelligent life we’ve ever encountered? Even on Earth itself, they wonder, how are we the only species that ever has evolved advanced intelligence?
There are countless naturally occurring, but extremely lucky ways in which Earth is special, sheltered, protected, and encouraged to have evolved life. And some key moments of emerging life seem much more likely than others, based on what really did happen.

And it is arguable if it exists here.
Yup,
Devils,Demonds and
Democrats.

I have heard that “The Book of Enoch” says something about that. I have not read that Book so I don’t know if it is true.
Can you give any information about that?
The way things are going, I would also not rule out de-evolution.
Yes de-evolution. Man isn’t coming from the apes, he’s going to them.
You mean outside flyover country???
There are passages in The Book of Enoch that appear to be about space vehicles.
I believe this is a link where the translator has a bit of commentary that gives his interpretation of some of the passages.
It is well worth the read.

I am almost certain that there is no intelligent life here on Earth.
If humans get to define intelligence—that is cheating!
Infinity and infinite possibilities do not mean that anything you imagine exists somewhere.
Probability, the laws of physics (especially the Second Law of Thermodynamics), Occam’s Razor, and others mean that given the set of infinite possibilities, there can still remain a set of the impossible that does not intersect.
We are a miracle - an infinite universe, an eternity of time to put our molecules together in a way that could paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. What would it mean to our self-image to conclude that we are the only life in all this unimaginable vastness?
Beautifully put.
I come to FR for intelligent life.
Why are you here?
Since we can’t find intelligent life on earth, why does anyone expect they could find it somewhere else?
He certainly didn’t leave any space on Earth unfilled with Life.
Why would He waste an entire Universe?

“There’s a world where Lincoln shot Booth, “
Have you read L Neil Smith’s “Probability Broach”? He has a mention of that happening in in the NAC universe.
Aarrgh,,,,
