The popular belief even among most scientists is that by probability there must be another form of life, which has stepped on or visited this planet is the thing that is mostly disagreed with.

Mathematically impossible for there not to be. That’s been proven. Think the question is, is there another life form here that we’re unaware of?

It is probably extremely prevalent.

I’ve bounced back and forth between thinking that just by sheer numbers alone that there has to be not only life out there somewhere but intelligent life and then questioning that assertion by thinking about the insane amount of cosmic flukes and accidents that somehow perfectly aligned the millions of parameters needed for life on earth to advance to this point. There was an article I read recently about all of the thousands of solar systems we’ve looked at and it seems that our solar system is the odd one and not the ubiquitous one. I think the fact that our solar system is such an outlier coupled with all the other things like our moon, distance from the sun, rotation, magnetic field strength and a thousand other things are the very things that are so hard to have randomly happen in the cosmos that make life and especially advanced life forms so rare (that we know of so far)

This made me have a flash back to Star Wars and the canteen scene, with all the different creatures. They were glorious.

I don’t think the night sky really looks like this from Mars. Does it?

The best night sky I ever saw was during the blackout in 2003. I was in Ontario Canada on a lake. Not a light for thousands of miles. There was no moon, and the starlight was so bright you could read a newspaper. It looked very similar to this.

it’s almost certain there is life out there. the only question is it too far for them or us to ever make contact. the universe isn’t exactly a small place.

We as a species in our entirety are not that fucking special. I’m convinced there’s more than just us. You can’t tell me otherwise.

Soooo many people are held back from even considering it because of a 2000 year old book

Man I wish we had a designated day of darkness. People would lose their minds to see the sky like this again

If we lived in a simulation that would be why prolly

Because there is a special book that says that we are from a man’s rib and that all the evil in the world was the woman’s fault.

There is. Just gotta wait

Of course there is life out there. Who says there *isn’t*??

watch the doc, life is here already

When I was a kid many years ago, we didn’t know if there were any other planets out there.
Now we know they’re out there. Next up…life.

Because experts say so.

Likely, but there are a lot more questions, as Jupiter’s gravity shielded mammals, does extraterrestrial life have enough time to develop?
Will they have evolved sight?
One of many strong theories among mankind’s growth in brain power is developing a sense of trigonometry to throw objects. Another is cooking with a fire to develop necessary proteins. What was the alien equivalent?

There definitely is.
The thing we are all wondering: is interstellar travel easy enough that intelligent life can interact at all in any meaningful way.

There is, but the human race is so conceited that they think they are so important in the endless void of space that all the aliens would want to come here or care to 🤣

Muh Anthropic Principle meets Drake equation. In all honesty we are not alone. It takes more effort to believe that we are the planet with life on it or the only one capable of interstellar exploration than not. Once you understand that we are not unique then alien life becomes inevitable.

How can there not be a God out there?!

I believe that our body is made up of a bunch of very tiny things. We are a “galaxy” and planets /stars etc are all much smaller pieces of something much bigger than it . We are so small we can’t comprehend it. A planet is equivalent to one of the atoms that compose us

This looks grossly inaccurate
Wow! That a hell of a view!
