Lol. I dig the extramarital but cmon...if we can find organic molecules then it is almost a mathematical certainty that intelligent life will also exist somewhere.
Sorry I’m sort of an astronomy nerd.

I saw E.T. three times and still didn't understand it.
Do the math. The simplest living organism known contains a variety of about 200 different proteins with an average length of about 200 amino acids. The theoretically simplest living organism requires about 150 different proteins with an average length of about 450.
The smallest molecule that classifies as a protein requires a chain of about 80 amino acids in a very specific order.
Suppose every atom in the universe is not an atom, but is actually an amino acid. And suppose the entire universe has been assembling these amino acids into 80-length chains, a thousand times per second since the beginning of the universe (approx 13,5 billion years ago.)
You will find that the universe is still about a billion, trillion, trillion times too small or too young to have made even this one simplist of all proteins via random process.
Intelligent life a Mathematical certainty? I don't think so? Do the math.
