I'd think a home planet would have to be devoid of life to not even project the idea there might be life elsewhere. And then that void begs the question where did that lifeform come from?
Even before aliens humans saw "the other" via made up deities living beyond their grasp in every civilization. Then they'd look up to the moon and imagine it was alive or some kind of people there. All projections of "life is everywhere".
- kcplate 4y agoSure we can conceive of it, and have since we have been able to took up and wonder, but the question is really more about the assumption that why do we humans always seem to assume that alien life is more advanced than us? It’s sort of my answer to the Fermi paradox. We haven’t detected alien civilizations because they may not exist…yet. UFO nuts at least rely on a faith that they exist and they have made it here and are slicing up cow genitals and sticking various probes up our backsides. If they can do that, sure, they are more advanced. However, why are the pragmatic Drake equation applying scientists out there always seems to be this under this assumption that extraterrestrials are more advanced? If there is no evidence they are here or even exist. There is certainly no evidence that they are more advanced than us. Until we see evidence to the contrary, we rule the roost.
