Of course there is life elsewhere. Space is infinite. All those galaxies out there will have life statistically speaking if nothing else.

They should announce alien contact right before the next election

How did I shape the fact that our worlds beginning, our beginning as life forms, and our evolution are ridiculous mathematical improbabilities into anything else?

At no point did I mention God. I simply pointed out the irony of believing in life on other planets so fervently, while believing in our worlds evolution at the same time.

You are betraying your incomprehension of the size and age of the universe.

What mode did/do you use for education? I just laugh when people think you can trust everything that has been written or "shown" to you by government run historians, scientists, etc.

If you even notice it evens says the heavens were created first.
Isn't the universe about 14 billion years old? And isn't the earth about 4 1/2 billion years old? Yeah, the heavens were first. It's likely civilizations have come and gone since life has been on earth which is about 1.25 billion years ago. And that life was an algal mat. Humans have been around less than a half million years.

You believing in other people or “books” telling you there are other civilizations all over the place, when you haven’t seen them, and there is no evidence other than belief in theory. That coupled with the belief that the behind of the mechanism of life on this planet is absolutely random but you believe it is replicated somewhere else, because of “infinity”, another thing you just believe.

Its not as improbable as you think, given the almost infinite nature of the universe.
It is difficult for the human mind to comprehend the vastness of it.
Just think: Literally one planet over, Mars, we have recently discovered a huge amount of water there, and it is in a zone where life could have been possible.
Now think about the again, almost infinite amount of solar systems there are. We already know of many many many exoplanets that are in goldilocks zones.

this is a weird strawman
"life" does not always equal civilizations, nor does that mean "all over the place"
nor does that even mean concurrently to our own existance

statistical probabilities
its simple math

No one believes in "books" telling us there are other civilizations.
We just speculate that it is LIKELY given the vastness of the universe. No one knows.

Yes, but that doesn’t really mean any intelligent life is out there.
Remember the age of space, and the billions or millions of years that a civilization potentially had to colonize the entire galaxy. And yet, nothing.
Why do we feel like any intelligent civilizations owe it to us to stop by and say what's up? It's hard for us to accept but maybe we don't matter. Maybe other beings in the universe view us the same way we view bacteria
