I watched a documentary the other night and they said the scientific probability of life outside of earth somewhere else in the universe is approaching 1. That is there is almost 0% chance we are alone
Well, that's pure nonsense, as there is no way to calculate the probability. Sagan wrote the most precise thing that can currently be said about such things in his book "Contact", "The universe is a pretty big place. If it's just us, seems like an awful waste of space." Well put.

Sure there is
The Drake equation
The seager equation
Stephen hawking wrote that life, and many forms of life, is almost a given, and that intelligent life is highly probable. But that humans on earth discovering intelligent life is unlikely before we, or they (whichever form we happen to be close to discovering one day) destroys itself one way or the other

So, you agree with Beezy, but you just want to be a chump by quoting Sagan...who is saying the exact same thing?
Pffft!

Even if it's not just us, still seems like a waste of space.
That last pic is kind of creepy. Looks like a nervous system or something.
