        So how do you know there is other life in the universe? If you have some proof share it. Scientific community will be amazed by it.

          Where did I say I knew that? I certainly do not.

          I do however, understand the statistical argument that it’s highly likely (though what form that life would take is another question. I don’t think it would be in any way humanoid. Possibly bacteria.

            So when you guess based on data we don’t have that it’s highly likely it’s science but when I guess it’s highly unlikely I’m high. Got it.

              Buddy, you’re lost in the sauce. I think you need to scroll up and remind yourself what you actually said

                I said that I don’t think other life in the universe exists. What did you think I said?

                    Someone asked me if some entity told me that it doesn’t first. Did you miss that part? What I’m saying is that everyone is just guessing here. Both claims are equally valid or equally “induces by substances”.

      Why do you have to know for sure to counter your claim? I am not 100% certain but I think it is likely givern the circumstances for life and the vastness of our universe. But I don’t claim to know for sure. I don’t think just because we want to feel special does this have to mean we’re the only planet with life in the universe

        Yeah, that was kind of my point. You don’t know for sure and I don’t know for sure. You’re guessing there is other life because you guestimate that the probability of life emerging is high enough for it. We don’t know what that probability is. I’m guessing it’s actually so low it happened only once. We’ve seen huge portion of the universe already but no signs of life. For now most people prefer your theory but as time passes my theory becomes more and more likely.
