>>10292I actually think it's highly likely that alien life doesn't exist.
I think the purpose of the universe being so massive is so that we can't even see to the end of it, and it would take billions of years traveling at light speed (literally as fast as you can possibly go) to get even a relatively short distance.
If we could see the walls of the playpen then humans would get too pompous, there's no alien life, God just created the universe so massive so we could never comprehend it.
Likewise God probably created ancient life before true human life (around when recorded history started, which surprise, just so happens to be about 6000 BC or so) just to fuck with us, because he knows that eventually people would come along and claim that animals evolved into one another because the fossils look similar and were from subsequent time periods.
