I certainly think that life has arisen elsewhere, but getting neurons together to produce culture, language and quadratic equations is quite another thing. I would be quite surprised if it happened more than once.

However, it did happen once so we have at least one data point. I do not believe nor disbelieve in ET. I suspect due to the sheer number of planetary systems out there, that we are not the only evolved species in this universe. That said, I also do not believe we are being visited. Those pesky equations from relativity seem to be getting in the way. :-)

And yes, that is a belief. However, there is physical data to back it up. :-)
