Yes, and if you really did consider the vastness of space, you wouldn't be so blithe about proposing aliens. Consider the vastness of Antarctica. Anyone there? Nope? Only us. How do we know that UFOs aren't manifestations of ESP?
I've been following the UFO phenomenon since before I was an adult. It kills me that enthusiasts urge the keeping of an open mind---yet they are as fixed in their ideas as the scoffers.
Theres all kind of life in Antarctica.. first that come to mind are the many species of penguins.
Or are you saying that because theres no easily recognizable intelligent life on the continent of Antarctica, that must mean there's no intelligent life...anywhere in the galaxy? Because that makes no sense, from like a logical cognitive standpoint.
No, penguins are wonderful, but they live on the coastlines, adjacent to water. I was simply pointing out that, aside from the research stations, Antarctica is a barren wasteland. Humans left alone simply die from exposure. The only life I know of in the interior is bacteria in Lake Baikal, which is a pocket of water under the ice cap. But, be honest. Aside from us, there is no intelligent life inland.
Nor on the Moon nor Mars. The absence of observable life beyond the Earth shows only that...there is no observable extraterrestrial life, so far as we have seen. This is NOT a backhanded argument for the certainty of life elsewhere, either by example or by logic. It is entirely possible that we will fail to discover intelligent life not on this Earth.
Myself, I keep an open mind and wait to see. I don't think people realize how incredibly unique life is. All the propaganda about Darwinism and "evolution" have created the impression that life is inevitable, and therefore intelligent life is inevitable. But Darwinism only assumes that certain things happen once life is present; it does not make any argument about the emergence of life. As a result of this propaganda, many people simply expect there will be intelligent life, because they have been misled into thinking it is a mechanical result of mere matter. The idea that it might be God's creation and a major mystery is far from their outlook. I will go so far to say that NASA's extravagant and useless "search for life," is their attempt to prove that God does not exist and that Darwinism is the supreme principle.

This isn't reddit, btw
