Let's see, we have found earth like life on one out of 501 planets (earth itself). That is a success rate of 0.2%. Now how many planets are there? Multiply that by 0.2% and the number of potential life supporting planets is very, very large.

Lots of people talk about the number of potential planets that could support life. But the universe is a finite number of years old.

What if we're first?

So, let’s carry this logic further...you exist on planet earth where life itself exists. So, there is a great chance that you exist on another planet as well, do you like it there I wonder?

That may be true, but this is the only plant the Creator of that very, very large universe chose to sacrifice His Son for. That alone makes us very special.
