One doesn't have to be a genius, like Dr. Crowe to know that there are billions of stars in sight if you just look into the night sky. Many, if not most of these stars have planets around them. Many of these planets are millions of years older than earth. How can anyone, knowing this, honestly believe that our Earth is the only planet that supports life? As far as traveling these immense distances between stars, just because we don't know how to do it doesn't mean no one does. It hasn't been that long ago that it was believed that the world was flat (apparently some people still do) and one could actually fall off the edge of the Earth. Then there were those who said humans would never be able to fly. I could go on and on, but I think you get my point.
I don't doubt there are other planets that support life, but intelligent life?
Sorry, but I just don't believe that human type intelligence is unique or special in a universal setting. We're talking hundreds of billions of planets here...
>billions of stars in sight if you just look into the night sky.
Only because I know, I need to point out that the number of stars visible in the night sky only numbers in the thousands. Around 3000 if I recall correctly.
You're fucking kidding right! Can you see the Milky Way? What do you think that is? 3000 stars!?! LOL
I am sorry it is hard to accept information that seems untrue. Obviously with a telescope you can resolve far more than 3000. In major cities you might be lucky to see 50 stars on a clear night.
>Can you see the Milky Way?
Yes, I can, but in keeping with my claim you cannot resolve very many individual stars. Without visual enhancement calling the Milky Way billions of stars is making a giant assumption. It may be a true assumption, but my point is not how many stars there actually are. It is how many there appear to be.
