I've always held the belief that given the vastness of space, and the age of time, it's not just a question of if other intelligent life can exist, but whether or not we we will be in the same place at the same time.
- zinclozenge 4y agoWhat if the probability of life forming on any given planet was so infinitesimally tiny that it happening on earth is already a fluke?
- marklubi 4y agoI would think that it's shortsighted. Just on Earth, we've been through several millions of years of various evolutions. We've had fauna, mega fauna, mega flora, dinosaurs, so many things have occurred over millions of years. It's hard to believe that none of this has possibly occurred elsewhere. Edit: for clarity
- zinclozenge 4y agoYou're talking about evolution, I'm talking about life forming. More specifically, think about the likelihood of a cell forming from purely chemical reactions and kinetics.
