You could very well be correct. But then again, I am very confident that within the next 10 to 20 years there will be a good chance of the discovery of life outside Earth or the discovery of evidence of life past somewhere other than Earth. It may only be mico organisms or some type of microscopic life but I think the chances of life out there are more possible than not.

I think the chances of life out there are more possible than not.

How can you possibly make such an assertion? We know 1) life on earth exists. 2) there are billions of planets in the universe.

I fail to see how you can make any assertions about probability based on those two facts. Fill me in.
