Not really. With time we'll expand out into those reaches ourselves. With more time there will be countless new intelligent species that are our ancestors.

Well that or we die out.

Descendants, not ancestors.

But I still don't think it's going to happen. It just strikes me as odd (and unbelievably unlikely) that we would be the only sentience in the entire universe. Especially considering how easily life can form.

I agree.
We've just been looking for so little time that people ought to settle down.

Because it would be scarier if we were the only life in the universe than if we weren't.

why

The vast expanse of the universe, and we're the only ones to have developed sentience?

How does that not freak you out?

Emotions are there for a reason.

We feel disgust because our parents show disgust in certain things, so if we find them disgusting we will avoid them as well. We feel disgust because it makes us avoid it. There is logic behind it.

What logic is there in being scared about being alone in the world with only people from your city? You can always expand on your own, and there are lots of people that are so different from you in this city of yours. So what is so scary?

things are, because they are. They aren't there for your sake, and you don't have to interact with them. An empty planet is an empty planet, and because you usually try to exhaust resources you find the thought of it being empty scary. Maybe I didn't hit the nail in the spot with that guess, but the underlying motive probably applies to you. You're being egotistical.

literally what

I'm trying to address his fear.

I wish I could read my posts from someone else's perspective, because to me they make sense.

Pretty sure I'm right, but no. I suppose I'll take the word of the most retarded person on this dumbass site.

Analogy:

Alone in the world = Alone in space
City = Earth

Things are, because they are. They aren't there for your sake, and you don't have to interact with them. An empty planet is an empty planet. You put human emotions into that fact, but that's your own thing. Each of his own. You're thinking as if the world was made for you.

Script: First I question your irrational fear towards no other life, then I use an analogy for some reason.

Then I address why you shouldn't fear it.

I don't.

This is exactly like saying that the chances of God not existing is extremely unlikely.

If you could create a nuke, you'd wanna ask yourself why.

Then some jackass comes in and says "it's not about why, it's how to make it."

No you fucktard, if you ask how, you will get emotional answers, or philosophical ones. Does a person deserve to hold such power? Does one deserve to wipe out so much surface for whatever their purpose is?

this thread if for the sake of that kind of stuff. I don't believe that we can make a thread addressing where aliens are, because astrologists are more suited for that.

stop posting

Refresh the thing. I made a mistake in the third paragraph.

I'm right here, though.

There's exactly the same amount of evidence for aliens as there is for God.

That is to say, none at all.

Your belief that aliens exist is as irrational and stupid as believing in God.

lol

You're a religious nut.

I fucking hate you degenerates
