Yes...I am aware of the Fermi Paradox. I thought I would reiterate it and stir things up (I must humbly admit I thought of it myself several years ago before I knew of the eponymous paradox). I believe we are alone.
Do you?

I believe we are alone. Do you? I assume you're speaking of intelligent life elsewhere. At the moment, yes, we're alone -- by which I mean only that we've not been contacted. But it's difficult to conclude that we're the only intelligent life in existence. Contact is possible, via signals. Actual interstellar travel is a whole different topic.

I believe we are alone. Belief is the wrong word. We have one data point for life arising in this universe, us. So if life arose here, it could elsewhere. So I don't believe, I suspect given just how damn big this place really is.
