Pierre de la Mer ~ sometimes slightly worried but never panicking ~

the way i see it, there are three ways of believing about extra terrestrial life - or lack thereoff smiley - geek :

1. the conditions for life as we know it are so rare we will only find it in one place in the universe we know: our smiley - earth

2. there are so many galaxies, stars and planets in the known universe it is absurd to believe there is only one smiley - planet like ours somewhere out there

3. who says intelligent life out there is anything like we know smiley - huh

smiley - pirate

ps: 4. er, how intelligent is life on this here smiley - earth actually smiley - huh
