So...
If space is boundless, then why would anyone think that we, on this tiny rock, in an ocean of galaxies, are the only one to have intelligent life on it? (And I use the term "intelligent" very loosely.)
Jesus
Yep.
So if someone believes in Jesus then that automatically precludes them from understanding probability? I don't think so... Not only do I believe in Jesus, but I also have faith in him and a personal relationship with him, yet I still conclude that there should be other civilizations out there on other planets, simply because of probability and logic.
Has anyone ever heard of the Drake Equation? It is estimate that the the Universe has 10 million million suns similar enough to our own to sustain life.
"The universe has 10 million, million, million suns (10 followed by 18 zeros) similar to our own. One in a million has planets around it. Only one in a million million has the right combination of chemicals, temperature, water, days and nights to support planetary life as we know it. This calculation arrives at the estimated figure of 100 million worlds where life has been forged by evolution."
So the probability out there is pretty strong.
If Earth was created as the only place God wanted his special creation, then why did he go to the trouble of creating all those other galaxies, solar systems, suns and planets billions of light years away and constantly moving farther and farther away? Are they just for us to look up at in the night sky and use for navigation before we invented GPS? If they are just out there for us to look at and navigate by, then why not just create an umbrella of stationary cosmic lights surrounding Earth and call it good?
