Grafik, of course my thinking is "Earth-biased." I'm an Earthling.
but that's beside the point. you're being obtuse.
I guess because you find it amusing and it helps propel the discussion. so instead of continuing to tug at your bait, I'm just going to go ahead with the following little spiel.
this is the Hubble Ultra Deep Field
click for a very high-res picture
it's a picture of the sky that I'm sure many people are familiar with.
but this picture only represents one thirteen-millionth of the total area of the sky. despite capturing such an insignificant sliver of space, this single picture
contains approximately 10,000 different galaxies each of which contains billions of stars supporting billions of planets providing an innumerable amount of different habitats and environmental climates.
if life on Earth has taught us one thing, it's that life fights and strives to exist and continue wherever remotely possible; and it doesn't have to look anything like human life. as soon as those first autonomous molecules begin to move around and seek sustenance under their own power, then more advanced life will surely follow given time and stability. it's simply a matter of observable science in our world combined with mathematical probability based on that science. if you stop and truly consider the numbers and the evidence, then I don't know how any reasonable person can arrive at any other conclusion.
let's take it a step further.
I see planet after planet that isn't Earth and doesn't have life, so the hypothesis 'every planet that isn't Earth doesn't have life' is what I'm working with for now.
here's the problem: you actually
don't see every planet that isn't Earth.
you've seen the other planets in our solar system and you've seen a handful that have been discovered outside of it. but even of those, all you have "seen" are crude satellite images taken of certain areas by a space probe which itself is nowhere near the planet it is photographing (in terms of physical distance).
how do you know what you've seen?
you haven't seen anything.
humans have been studying the sky since the dawn of humanity and all we know
for certain is that;
- 8 planets do not contain life
- 1 does
- xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx are still unaccounted for
given the relatively limitless combinations for life that exist in the universe, it's just dumb to believe that it ONLY happened here on Earth.
