So you believe that you're not apart of the Universe?

Humans don’t consider themselves animals
If we understood where we stood in the order of things we would realise that were neither important nor rare.
But people like to have an inflated sense of self worth and cant think logically enough to imagine that we are just a mutated gene that has developed a possible de-volution called cognitive thought.
If you think were the only life in the universe, your mind has not been blown yet and I suggest you look into just how big space really is. Then have a look at how life repeats itself on so many levels; microscopic or universal.

The universe is so massive and endless. Even if our own galaxy came up empty handed and there was just Earth, it still doesn't mean that the next galaxy over there wouldn't have anything. It's difficult to visualize how massive our universe really is. There is clusters of clusters of galaxies out there and that's just a tiny grain of sand in the universe. I don't see how the universe could be void of life, but earth. If it is empty then it would take eternity to cultivate all that.

This just baffles my mind. How can anyone say there is no life in outer space, when we ourselves are humanoids living on a planet orbiting a star?
