Libs are gleeful about this, they think it’ll make ‘our little world’ implode. But then, Libs are mostly fools, so who cares what they think.
Even if the Drake Equation is waaaay off, it still yields huge numbers of potential civilizations. I have seen nothing that I’d call convincing evidence that we’ve been visited by such, but I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if our civilization turned out not to be as unique as we sometimes think it is.
If I were a bettin’ man, I’d put a shiny nickel down on there being a whole passel of different kinds of folks out there. Whether or not we bump into them, is another matter.
I maybe called crazy but I have long believed in the possibility of outer space civilizations as well as Parallel universes etc
if you considerer the omnipotence of God then the possibilities are endless
I'd be more surprised as well as disappointed if there was nothing out there at all
Sola scriptura types still believe that the only intelligent life is on Earth. If we find any intelligent life anywhere else in the universe they will claim it is demons or trickery of the Anti-christ.
So yes, there are some among us who live in a small world which will indeed implode.
