re: It is a mathematical certainty that alien life forms exist

I believe that since the universe is still very young, we may just be the first intelligent life. There may be more in the future but we are probably alone or they are around our intelligence or less.

i mean based on the fact that we exist it is pretty much a certainty. the odds that we are so rare that out of that many stars we are the only ones to exist are astronomical.
You are wishcasting. There’s no science in your post.
There’s no science anywhere that supports your conclusion.
The odds of life spawning may be so low that a single instance anywhere in the universe was extremely unlikely. We have no fricking clue what those odds are. All we know is that we exist, and that tells us literally nothing about the odds.

The rough estimate is that there is one planet per star in the universe.
How many of those 2+E20 planets have atmospheric conditions similar to earth?
You could count all those planets as possibly supporting life "as we know it"
Who knows what other planetary conditions could support life forms of a kind humans have no knowledge

If there is, they have no idea where this planet even is… I still this it’s crazy that with all the technology we have that we can’t put a man on mars….

One shows up, lol. There are thousands of them here right now. Of different species and levels of intelligence. They have hidden bases all over. We are slowly grooming the sheeple for slow placed disclosure now because so many of your idiots can’t handle the truth.
No only are we not the most advanced creatures in the galaxy we aren’t even the most intelligent or advanced on this planet. Btw we are probably not even from this planet either.

We are the entertainment boys, deal with it

We can. We just don't have the collective initiative or financial incentive to do so right now.

Actually, the opposite is true.

100% certainty that it is exists. We don't advance as far as we have without them.

That’s a solid quote. Here’s another.
The notion that life on earth randomly evolved over time is like saying a tornado went through a junkyard and left an assembled working 747 in its path.
Slim chances. Chances it happened twice are slimmer.
We’re apparently alone. It’s irrelevant one way or the other.

Don’t believe me ask any AIr Force pilot that flew for 20-30 years, or Commercial pilot or any ship captain that spent his life on the water. If they are being honest they have some strange tales to tell you.
Sorry, It is what it is and they are who they are. The others have always been with us, call them angels, demons, monsters, fairies etc. They are the same thing, inter-dimensional, extra planetary creatures that are not human hence “others” .
There are millions of page of released documents on this through FOIA guys, it’s not a big secret.

We were created dude we didn’t just come into existence.

that's correct. shouldn't be a question at this point IMO

Yeah but that is misleading. The planet earth has oceans, land, an atmosphere that protects the surface from UV rays, a magnetic field, and is in the habitable zone. How many other planets can say that?
They have identified many thousands of exoplanets so far and not one has all of these features. They have found lots of planets in the habitable zone, but most of them are ocean worlds and their atmospheres usually aren't well developed. Some astronomer made news recently that he had found an atmosphere that was giving off signatures of life, but his paper has been criticized. For one thing the planet in question is an ocean world (no land at all), so even if there is life, it would be either microbes or fish at most. It would be a major discovery but last I heard other astronomers aren't buying in yet.
Most all of the rocky planets they have found are "super earths" meaning they are rocky, but quite a bit larger than earth. And that matters because larger planets have more gravity and too much gravity might impede life as we know it.
My personal opinion is that each galaxy might have one or two intelligent species. In our galaxy it is us. And other galaxies are so far away that we'll never be able to communicate with aliens in other galaxies.
