With the scale of the universe to think that there is no other "intelligent life" is not just arrogant but outright stupid.

However, the real question is will we ever "meet" them or "communicate" with them before we, them or all of us are already gone?

From the post:

>Whether it’s giant war-mongering spaceships, green humanoid Martians, or creepy beings slithering across uncharted planets, science fiction has painted a very particular image when it comes to aliens. But while you might think it takes a tin-foil-wearing conspiracy theorist to believe in such life outside of Earth, many highly distinguished scientists are believers too. In fact, when surveyed, 86.6 per cent of astrobiologists recently said they either agreed or strongly agreed that extraterrestrial life likely exists somewhere else in the Universe. When asked the same question but for complex or intelligent life, the agreeing percentage only drops to 58.2 per cent. More believe than don’t. So, what do these scientists know that we don’t know? And why are they so sure we’re not alone in this Universe?

I'm no scientist but I am educated and well read. I just can't believe that Earth is the only planet with abundant life as well as "intelligent" life. LOL. Space is vast and many stars seem to have their own planets orbiting around them. It is just hard for me to believe that our Earth is it, the only planet with life. It seems that it would just be a waste of space to me...

Logic and data alone suggests that it would be impossible.

Contact is the debate. Are they still alive? Can we ever "meet" them? That is the real problem.

If you don't think there is other life (intelligent life) out there then you are ignoring reality.
