"All I know is that if space is infinite then there has to be at least one."

It's like multiplication by zero, the so-called "trivial solution" which gives an easy answer to a difficult and challenging problem.

So far there is no verification for the measurement of infinity, so no one knows for sure. All we know is that it's real freaking big.

At least with probability one.

I know for a fact there is at least one earth-like planet.

(in fact, it happens to be in this very solar system)
