Does Life Exist

[Atrocities]

I would like to be up front about what I believe to be the truth of the universe and that is that life does not rampantly exist. That life as we know it, or imagine it more than likely does not exist on more than a handful of worlds. Given what we now know about how unique our planetary situation is, and how lucky we are to have had the events in our planets history that fostered life on our world, one can not but help deduce that the odds of it happening else where in the universe is astonishingly astronomical to a number and degree that is beyond our ability to comprehend. How the moon played a pivotal role in creating life on our world and how it still plays a role in keeping our planet stable enough to support life coupled with the rare combination of h2o and gasses that make up our atmosphere, our distance from the sun, our distance from the center of the galaxy and so on. Life is extremely rare and even more so in the universe at large.

I do not believe that Earth has been “visited” by aliens, nor do I believe that we, even after a hundred generations to the 10th power, will ever encounter alien life similar to anything that we have imagined. At best we will find only microscopic simple organism or odd plant life, but no humanoid or intelligent life.

If you look at the facts as they are presented today, the truth is but a simple thing to see, we are alone, and if we do not take care of what we have, we will loose it.
