I fail to understand why people are so ready to believe that the Earth is the only planet in the Universe/Milky Way Galaxy that will support life.
We have discovered over 3000 XO planets in just the last five or so years.
We did not discover these until we had telescopes that were able to look out into out own galaxy.
We also fail to believe that just maybe our understanding of astrophysics is beyond what Einstein professed. Meaning it is impossible to go beyond the speed of light.
What WE DO NOT KNOW is INFINITE.
Good post.
Some folks around here think that human ignorance about the vast universe proves how brilliant humans are.
It is Dunning Kruger at work:

Lol.
That’s because so many don’t know – or believe – the Bible, AKA “God’s Word”…
We also “know” that it’s “… easier to fool people than to convince them that they are being fooled.”
So, consider:
The Bible shows that there is intelligent life elsewhere.
It just hasn't 'fallen', like man, here on erf.
Heb 1:2
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Heb 11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Worlds, plural, more than one. Then:
Isa 45:18
For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
I don’t think He created the other worlds in vain either – he formed them to be inhabited as well.
Also: Ephesians 3:10
His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, Ephesians 6:12:
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
Job 38:7
When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
I can’t claim to be a “know-it-all”, but I "know" enough.
With Carl Segans billions and billions of galaxies each with billions of stars and not one radio broadcast to be heard.
If we’re the only place we had better get right with God and start taking care of this garden we’re in. By first shit-canning all of the war mongering egomaniacs we have as leaders. We cam work on the other problems later.
Shouldn't this be ∞ - N?
