CK I have to tell you that our being here is an accident of epic proportions. The simple fact that life evolved on Earth is such a rare event that chances of it occuring twice or more in the universe is so great that if you took the number 1 and put 0 behind it to the point that it could circle the universe a centrillion times to the billionth power you might be within 1% of the chance.

This planet is so rare that it equals 1 10th of a grain of sand compared to the entire galaxy. And we are wasting it away.

No CK, life does not exsist "out there" it only exsists here.

Holy bitterness Batman! You might want to rethink that whole uniqueness aspect though. Just look at our own solar system. Just in this one tiny corner of the universe there were three potential candidates. Earth seems to have won out (yeah us!), but Mars seems to have had a good start (plenty of water, just needed a little more gravity/sunlight), and even the hellhole that is Venus seems to have had some promise (before its greenhouse effect went all coo-koo).

Think about that. Three possible candidates all around one little star that is distressingly mundane. Chances were pretty good for life to develop in this system. The odds may not be so bleak for others.
