Believing Earth is somehow the most special place in the universe I find to be the highest form of egotistical narcissism the human species is capable of.
Get over it. There are hundreds of billions of galaxies in the universe with hundreds of billions stars in each of them. Earth orbits only one star, which mean it is a tiny, insignificant, meaningless speck in the entire fabric of existence. We have just begun in recent decades to discover that many nearby stars also have planets, which means planets are a common occurance to stars. There's numerous solar systems out there, uncountable numbers. Considering that one planet (Earth) out of our solar system has life means that there's a very good chance other solar systems may have one as well.
Earth is not special. The human race is not special. You are not special. A barren universe is mathematically less likely than a populated one. I find your ego trip to be insufferably idiotic and your arguments infantile and amateurish.
Frankly, the way some humans such as you behave, I highly suspect that we are probably one of the least intelligent lifeforms there is in the universe. Fortunately, our lives are short, meaningless practices of self-importance and the mere fact that we haven't yet infected someone else's solar system is refreshing.
Sometimes I hope we will wipe ourselves out; we'd be doing the rest of the civilizations in the universe a favor.
I can't help but feel sadened by your opinion and couldn't disagree with you more. Life is an amazing thing and it is rare, rarer than you obviously realise.
I am well aware of how many planets and stars are out there. The difference between you and I is that when you look at the stars you think of how abundant life is, I on the other hand think how precious it is. and if you believe this is the highest form of egotistical narcissism the human species is capable of, you are sadly mistaken.

Totally agree!!!
I find very arrogant for trhose who say life is only here, only Earth can sustain intelligent life and any alien race out there needs to travel here to prove themselves....
ARROGANT!!

Like I tried to tell them earlier, if they only knew how insignificant Earth Life really is, it would break their hearts...

I am serious about this: If you are a betting man I will bet you $10,000US that within 2 years you will be wrong. You must have the money and we will both put the money into a lock.

I doubt you're serious, and if you are, I have no morals against parting a fool with his money.

What is it, for real, that you are betting?
That Earth is just one of the gaZiilions of planets or that life exist outsde of Earth?
Are we to hitch a ride with NASA so you can see them for yourself or what???

I have read some of the various posts that claim this thread was written in ignorance, but thats not the case. He does believe intelligent life exists but has never visited earth. Thats not ignorance, thats a supremacist attitude. He thinks that humans are the most superior race in the universe, that humans are the best and no one is as technologicly advanced as humans, and thats not fair. Aliens exist, and they have come here before, there is no doubt at all.
